Firaxis!
Thanks for releasing the English, French, Spanish, and German version of SMAC Enhancement 4.
But what happened to simultaneous release of ALL versions? You made us wait this long, what's another week or two? Or was some minor problem found in the Italian, and rather than hold anymore, the word to release was given?
Whatever the reason, thanks!

Is there even a v3.0 patch for the Italian version. I don't need it, I just didn't notice one.

No, I did not see one. Maybe its like the Spanish SMAC? The one on the CD is version 3?
I really haven't a clue about it...

The one on the CD is version 2 and does not include all the scenarios (just the first three), plus the translation is horrible and full of bug (for example Morgan can actually go in planned economic cause they translated planned with 'pianificato' in alpha.txt and 'programmato' in Morgan.txt - oh, yes, this is fixed easly but shows the attention they paid to italian translations).
We've no Borehole cluster scenario, no patch 3 and obviously no patch 4. Jeff told us patch 3 was in beta testing *two* months ago. Then (one month later) he said it will never came out in favor of a simultaneous ver 4 release. If this is the simultaneuos release we're waiting for...
I don't trust Firaxis anymore nor I will in the future if they keep lying.
I'm playing CtP now, which is the worst civ like game I've ever played but at least Activision seem to know we're not subhumans. Firaxis, if you don't want to support a localized version then doesn't make it at all. Just give us more english versions and no one will complain.
Sorry for my bad english, it isn't good when I'm so angry.
