Very nice bite! Thanks for all this work!
Does this mean to conquer another Civ you only have to capture their capital? Or is it just a poorly worded description of the new conquest victory? It's at the end of the paragraph next to the second image.players will now have to take every capitol in a territory before claiming it, instead of finding and defeating every city in that territorywhich caused players a lot of grief
I noticed this hereoes this mean to conquer another Civ you only have to capture their capital? Or is it just a poorly worded description of the new conquest victory? It's at the end of the paragraph next to the second image.
Ruins are the new version of goody huts apparently. Sounds cool.
This is just a feeling, but have goody huts been replaced by city states??
I assume its just a badly worded explanation of the conquest victory
Where did you pump that info about ruins?
To make sure you don't forget what you were going to do next, the game will instead offer an enhanced notification system that will alert you to pretty much all happenings in the game, from completed scientific research to finished construction in your cities to discovering ruins (which appear to be the new game's version of goodie huts), and clicking on the notification will always open up the relevant menu and let you do whatever you need.
from an article at justpushstart comes the following quote:
Another feature we were unable to take a look at was a mystery button that provides a strategic view. They believe this will have many players excited when they release more info on it in the coming months.
Not sure what this confirms of course, but it certainly sounds interesting.
Personally, in my opinion, I felt that the leader choices made more sense to me because they were both historically significant and recognizable.
Because, really, when I think of China, I really think more of Qin Shi Huang and (yes, even him) Mao than Wu Zetian. When I think of Arabia, I am more likely to think of Saladin than Harun al-Rashid. When I think of Japan, I'm more likely to think of Meiji or Tokugawa or Hirohito than Oda.
Also, I think (though i'm a little doubtful) here, the current leaders made more of an impact than the new ones, but i'm no historian, so feel free to differ.
Plus, I really liked the two leaders a civ, so I'm a little disappointed they took it out.
Really like the new combat systems though.
There will almost definitely still be a spy unit, but ultimately it would be nice to have an espionage system, though I disliked how it worked in BtS and am glad to see it go in that case. I think an espionage system should work more like terrain and city improvements, you progressively infiltrate other countries by building up spy networks and such.Dissapointing - I or someone else sould mod the game to allow Religion and espionage. (In my opinion VERY important) BRING BACK RELIGION AND SPYS!
Quick Poll: Yes= Religion and Spys are a must! No= I hate them both! YN=Religion yes spys no
NY= Spys no religion yes
To be fair, I barely heard about Salah ad-Din (or Saladin as us westerners call him) or Tokugawa before playing a Civilization game. I feel that they're simply well known to us because we're used to seeing them in the game. Kind of like Mansa Musa, who even my friends in history graduate programs have a hard time remembering.
