I'm wondering if they didn't just use the CivIII engine and develop on top of that. Because otherwise you are right and there is no way it should have cost that much.
And Civ 3 was only released in '01, how the heck could this have been in development for 10 years. Something tells me the reporter was fed a line or doesn't have a clue.
But I will be trying to get a copy.
(no battles in Canada? Check the War of 1812. Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane were a couple pretty big battles)
