The creators of this board game must surely be gods themselves. (I know sucking up won't increase my chances of winning, but the game looks really cool.)

I don't think most netbooks only have really weak graphics cards; my friend's Eee (not 1000) can "run" Half-Life 2 (except it crashes from time to time). As long as the graphics card support all them pixel shaders and whatnot, it shouldn't be a problem getting the game working, though I doubt...

Not having played an overwhelming amount of BTS yet, or having any modding experience, I am still curious about one thing:How much can you mod the religions and corporations in the game? Is it possible to mod corporations into acting like religions and vice versa? Could you adopt a State...

So you cannot afford a XBox360/PS3, but apparently you can afford a computer that is superior to the HD-consoles (you will probably need a quad-core processor, since Revolution is optimized for those) AND find a decent emulator?

Turns out I need to read the frontpage more often though. :S

It's all here: http://ds.ign.com/articles/848/848158p1.html and also here: http://wii.ign.com/articles/848/848144p1.html While I think it is important they don't try to force a release date upon themselves for the Wii version, putting it on "indefinite hold" is somehow worrying. Perhaps...

These previews are very much appreciated! However the link points to the wrong thread, the correct one is here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=173911

Since the only console I own is a Wii, my choices are limited. Still, the DS version sure is tempting.

Seems Shaka Zulu now is the leader of the Zulus and not the Africans.

"We want to establish strategy as a viable genre on the consoles, we also want to establish ourselves as a viable console developer, and prove that we can make stuff—look when we make stuff for PC sometimes we have to go to the lowest common denominator, because you don’t know what...

I'm quite certain I saw two other promotions, assassin and medic, in a preview I read. Can't remember where though. Apparently they changed the appearance of the robe of some Roman soldiers (Medics got red cross, Assassins got black robe)

No it isn't, but I've managed to upload a wav-file (horrendous quality) here: http://www.files-upload.com/files/448936/notredame.wav EDIT: It's hard to hear that it is a piano playing due to the poor quality. Might try to get a better quality clip later.

Finally I've found a reason to post a thread at CivFanatics. The reason is the following question: "What is the name of the musical piece playing during the Notre Dame Wonder Movie?" I have a sneaking suspicion it was only written for the Wonder Movie, but it would be great if this was a full...

I think they mean that they have removed most concepts that are negative to your civilization, such as pollution. It simplifies the game if you only have to focus on improving beneficial areas and not have to worry about minimizing the effects of such things as corruption and maintenance. I...

According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen-SS), the picture you based the unit off is described as the "Dress uniforms of the SS-Verfügungstruppen, a pre-war Waffen-SS organisation". Still, I like that they are black, that way they stand out more from the regular German...

What kind of name is "Beyond the Sword" anyway? Of course it is not as weird as Play the World... I hope Beyond the Sword means that the scenarios and the overall expansion will focus less on warfare and more on the finer aspects of civilisation (such as backstabbing).

Civilization has the same lack of creativity, they stole all the civs, techs and units from my history book :crazyeye:

I like the other song, the one in the vanilla intro, more. (Haven't heard Warlords...)

If you want to keep your life it is not.

pygmy giraffes! nice! :)
