2012/5/10 PC Gamer article and IGN HD video

[Eagle Pursuit]

Cinnamon is the icon for spices, IIRC.

 

[Pouakai]

Cinnamon is the current icon for spices, not a new resource.

 

[anandus]

In the first minute, there's a notification on the right, picture of cinammon. So that's another new luxury resource confirmed?

Don't you mean copper?

Edit: Or indeed the cinnamon-icon, which means spices.

 

[ShahJahanII]

great finds! also, the great prophet has a strength of 2000? (2:13 in video) This seems a little odd

It says 2000 faith.

Probably the likelihood of spreading the religion or the number affects how many citizens adopt it.

 

[Bechhold]

Well for what it's worth if we do see a second expansion and Corporations are included then maybe we will see Fish and other commodities being counted as resources.

 

[Pouakai]

In the IGN video at the start, Uluru can be seen by the city state border at the start (Top right of screen)

 

[Camikaze]

So much new information. Don't think I can absord it all.

I should check this section more often. Looks like money laundering get a nerf. Only 30 for 4gpt and producing gold removed from Currency. No more AI bankrolling players?

I would say that's more likely a mock up than an actual trade.

I would say that's more likely a mock up than an actual trade.

Don't crush my dreams. I really hope it is an actual trade. They can demonstrate renewing of a deal on actual deal, right? These things have such a big impact on higher levels they need to be addressed, and for now we know literally nothing about that. Although we've read several dissertations about truffles.

 

[Civciv5]

The Mayan UB needs a better name.
Egypt,Aztecs,Mayas,Incas,China,Indonesia,Khmer, Romans,Nubians... all built pyramids.

 

[Morningcalm]

Especially since the Pyramids wonder is already in the game. They should call it a Step Pyramid at least.

 

[ehecatzin]

yeah I was hoping for more originality in the Mayan UB name, after all they were temples, not just piramids.

 

[Louis XXIV]

I just personally would have preferred a Ball Court.

 

[AbsintheRed]

I just personally would have preferred a Ball Court.

Absolutely agreed

 

[Guandao]

I wonder why they didn't use a ballcourt.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

I'm cool with the pyramid, although a more specific name would be nice, like others have said. I'm just curious as to what it replaces and what advantage it has.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

What if Mayan Pyramids are a courthouse replacement ? It all depends on ones intent !

 

[ehecatzin]

I just personally would have preferred a Ball Court.

I guess the UB will be faith oriented, I imagine it would made more sense to have a temple UB with faith related bonus, than a faith based amphiteater or coliseum UB.

 

[Gucumatz]

Pretty sure they aren't though. A Maya city is building one in the video.

 

[fat_tonle]

It's a building not an improvement right?

 

[Morningcalm]

Yes, since screenshots show cities building pyramids.

Are there going to be courthouses in Gods and Kings? I miss hearing the "Order! Order!" sound from Civ IV.
