Done for the Caesars (assuming I picked the right Activision), plus covers for all. Leaving Emperor for someone who can figure out what's up with the credited developer being Sierra. Somebody asking on the GOG forum too.

What's the problem with Sierra?

GOG often mangles the publisher/developer credits. For example, Star Wars: Empire at War (Gold Pack) reads that the developer was Lucasfilm which, one, didn't exist by that name at the time of release (LucasArts was still alive in 2006) and two, it was Petroglyph Games that did it. The same thing is with all Star Wars licensees they have.

The devs of Emperor were BreakAway, under supervision from Impressions, there is no doubt about it.

@Evolyzer - Sierra was merely the game's initial publisher and owner of Impressions Games. Activision eventually bought them, closed them, and reopened the brand.
