And the severed legion :

Cool, legionnaires with spades building a fort that is half finished so far.

What is that improvement in which the Legion is?

I decided I will purchase tile in strategic view ONLY :

Handy, indeed.

Handy, indeed.

Yes how do we change between views?

 

[Calouste]

I decided I will purchase tile in strategic view ONLY :

I know it's a demo game and stuff, but someone just spend about 200 to buy a mountain

edit: I also hope they moved the Settler before building Rome. That's horrid as a starting location. One West of the pink hex would be good though.

Hit the "Return to map" button in the strategic view, and the strategic view button next to the minimap in full view. And I'm sure there will be a keyboard shortcut.

Take a look at this baby :

A flavoured Roman General !!!!! Arrrggggggg, I'm dying !

Well probably he bought it so as to have ability to buy another tile which he needs for the city.

From this jeuxactu.com preview as well (the translation is mine) : "Rich but easy-to-learn, Civ5 seems to be on its way to shine, AI-wise."

I'm gonna pass out.

Ancien Régime is revised at +2 culture per city as seen at jeuxvideopc.com and Monaco is Cultured, Irrational.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but he looks the same as the regular great general.

On the one hand, purchasing that mountain does mean his next border expansion/tile purchase can grab that nice silver (I think) hex.

And really. Wouldn't you pay $200 for a mountain!

Yes, too bad the city doesn't have enough food to feed all those miners:

Spoiler :

Nice defensive locations there in the gaps of those mountain chains. Not much use for the Romans of course, but I wonder whether we will see that a lot. As a builder you could put 4-5 cities behind the mountains, plug the gaps in the chain and use the city states as buffers.

Screenshot or written? Either way, I'm glad to see the Ancien Regime boost. The French UA looked quite weak. Helpful for a slight early help, but quickly unimportant. If you need 200 for Social Policy 4 or 5, then getting an extra 3-5 culture, while helpful, isn't that awesome. Put it up to 8-10, and that Social Policy advantage resonates. And since no UU until Musketeers, you'll need every advantage you can get as the French.

I think that's their motto. Either way I think it's a wise change.

Also, I'm rather certain the last icon in Archaeology is Le Louvre, and that's the Porcelain Tower under Education. (sorry for the crappy picture for the tower)

Screenshot. Thanks, Rabbit.

I notice in the recent batch of shots that the Worker is now more expensive than the Settler.

And I suspect the pink Babylonian may be correct. I will see you your Louvre, and raise you a Porcelain Tower (Education, 4th item).

edit: Doh!

And I do believe that gives us pretty much every item in the tree, with the exception of special abilities.
