He might have sold more if he had the PC Version in his hands...

Wow! He's not just a salesman, he's THE lead designer for the game! : O I definitely think more dev teams should follow his example, it'd make for some pretty interesting marketing videos.

Definitely worth a shot though, there's a significant number of console gamers out there just waiting to be presented the Next Big Thing.

This video would have been funnier if the game had a random map generator like the old Xcom had.

..Still this was quite a funny video :D

Hey is there a map editor at least? So people can create their own maps?

Not that I know of at least. The devs say there are 'enough' levels to last you 1-2 playthroughs without seeing the same level again, but for me personally, the lack of random maps was a deal breaker.

He's also in a lot of Youtube videos showing off the game's multiplayer, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvH2EH5nP4o. It's really great to see a designer loving the game that he has designed.

I am torn on this game I have always liked games with replayability and longevity.. I am worried that this may not have it, even though I have always loved TBS games and wish rpgs would go this route instead of the bastardized dnd system we see alot of them doing.

While the maps themselves are not randomized, the enemies you fight (and where they appear on the map) are randomized. Closer to Silent Storm or something.

It's apparantly got over 80 maps, that should keep us going for a while. Firaxis haven't confirmed anything on mod tools yet, they have been hinted at though.

Look at those dirty console peasants. They don't know a great game when it hits them in their face. Tsk tsk.

Still, a pretty funny video.
