Man, i just hate it when this happens, they allways say that somthing is going to happen on like a certain day and then it is the next week and then the next month and on and on. Thankfully Firaxis has been nicer about it than most software designers but i just don't think that it is fair to the gamers. If they don't think they will be able to finish by a dead-line then don't set one. or at least set one that is so far ahead that they could easily complete it within that amount of time.

Remember the law of Computer Science:
A project will always take half again as long as is estimated -- even if this is taken into account.
