Take-Two to Publish Next Civilization Game

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday January 26, 2005 @08:03AM from the boy-they've-been-busy-this-week,-huh? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Take Two Interactive announced today that they have acquired the rights to the Civilization franchise. They also announced Civ 4, saying that "Civilization IV will also set a new standard for user-modification, allowing gamers to create their own add-ons using the standard Python and XML scripting languages." Okay, so XML's not a scripting language. But it's nice to see open source tech in a major PC game!" Civ IV will be released under the new 2K Publishing Label we reported on yesterday.

I actually started writing a scripting language that used XML as it's input language. It (not surprisinly) was a lot like Lisp. It was basically written "because I could" and not for any real reason.

Unfortunately (fortunately?) I haven't done anything with it in a couple of years... Maybe I should drag it out again.
