Ask The Civ IV Dev Team

On Monday, we asked you for questions for industry legend Sid Meier. Today, we're asking for question to put to the folks behind the technology of Civilization IV. Besides the actual coding and development that went into the game itself, the team has made Civilization IV infinitely moddable through technologies such as XML, Python, and a fully developed SDK. Led by lead designer Soren Johnson, the team will answer your questions about the creation of the fourth chapter in one of the most influential game series out there. So, fire away with your questions. One per comment, please, and keep them topical. We'll pass the ten best questions to Johnson and the team, and the answers will be posted as soon as we have them in our hands.

How does this get modded 'Troll'? Did Civ III ship with an installer? Ever tried playing Civ III with Cedega? It's painfully slow. I'm asking if they will natively support my platform of choice. Like Quake, Doom, UT200x, ET, NWN, Savage, etc...

And your response gets modded troll. Who are these people that waste mod points like this? FWIW, these are the mods I smack in meta-moderation.
