Valve, 2K and Pre-Civilization (our games are unavailable in store)
Dear players! The Valve has informed us, that they have received claims on behalf of 2K, Inc. that our games (Pre-Civilization Egypt, Pre-Civilization Marble Age) infringe 2K’s trademark for “Civilization.” And they have removed these games from the Steam store while this matter is under dispute.
We already contacted 2K representative regarding this mistake and we hope to resolve this issue soon. Why we think this is a mistake:
We can’t find the registered trademark “Pre-Civilization” in attached XLS documents with registered 2K trademarks.
In dictionaries and science literature it is an independent word meaning the time prior civilization (that exactly our games are about). http://www.yourdictionary.com/precivilization
And we pointed out that for example Galactic Civilizations series may have the same problems with in future in this case.
We’ll keep you informed about this situation.

Saves incompatibility between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 versions
Few players reported about the problems with saveslot files saved in version 1.0.0 when they tried to load them in 1.0.1. version. They wrote that after they have loaded the game – they can’t interact with the tribes.
If you have such problem, to restore the saves, you need to finish the game in version 1.0.0, and start a new game in 1.0.1. version. But remember that the saved game slot should not be overwritten in 1.0.1 version.
To allow you finish your game in 1.0.0 version, we have enabled the possibility to switch the game versions.
