civilization iii comes out on october 30th. there's interview with jeff briggs and sid meier on zdnet. the screenshots look pretty, but i'm a little surprised they went back to the squares-with-bumpy things for mountains instead of using something like smac's three-dimensional surfaces. (i still love smac, but there's so many little things about the gameplay and interface i wish i could tweak. i wish firaxis would follow the lead of id and open-source their old games.)

todo item: patch wmx to highlight the tab of the current window differently. (or maybe shade all of them differently depending on stacking order. overlapping ones are hard to distinguish.) and fix the window cycling stuff.
