Apolyton Preview Part 3: Informing the Pre-Game

[DanQ]

The third part of Apolyton's multi-part preview of Civilization: Revolution written by yours truly is now available. Entitled "Informing the Pre-Game", here's an excerpt:

Players of previous Civ titles are likely familiar with the notion of eras. In the original, it began the series tradition of `chunking` the Wonders of the World groupings. Later eras would also mark a change in the visual appearance of your cities, units and even terrain improvements. This time, it will also guide the availability of individual civilization bonuses and abilities. I will then touch upon a feature first introduced in Civilization IV that has found a renewed and tweaked lease on life.

The fourth part of this `Rev It Up` feature is to be released next week.
