Yeah that man... baffles me.

Has there been any sighting of a Privateer naval unit? Or has it been conclusively ruled out?

I love to build Privateers to stay at "war" during times of "peace," and then later upgrade them to really powerful naval units (with 1-tile extra sight). It's a helluva an exploit that I find quite fun.

Looks like the Privateer is gone, though, huh?

Thanks. Didn't realize there was a high-rez version of the video.

edit: Cool. The downloadable mp4 version is not just higher-resolution, but also signficantly longer and with more stuff.

Looks like it, yeah.

Its called "Mandate Of Heaven" btw not, "Mandatory Health"

Hehe true I was writing a bit too fast and not even looking at what I was typing so much for my patience. I even considered just adding the attachment and let Arioch type it.

 

[12agnar0k]

No worries



Not sure if this has been seen in early builds but, the shield icon probably represents a fortified unit. Which should make spotting what units are and are not fortified an easier task.

Nuclear submarine
Cost: 300

Range: 3
Ranged strength: 60
Reuired: 1 Alumininum

In addition its worth correcting.

Armory also has a Maintenance cost of 2 gold, seen in the video preview of gameswelt.

And Nuclear Submarine has 60 Normal Strength too.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

I posted the stat of the nuclear submarine earlier. If only I had known there was a hi res video !
btw, I'm glad to help, Arioch !

1'st post ? , wow, am I behind the times or what

 

[moysturfurmer]

I'm not sure if this has been covered, but 2k Greg hinted that England's more likely to spawn near coast and Iroqouis near forests and such. And there's a setting called "disable start bias" in the advanced game options. So uh...

Yeah I don't know how to word it, but you guys know what I mean yeah?

Took a look at the Gameswelt preview...in combat I've noticed that the defender always fires first. Strictly graphical? Or do attacking units take damage before they deal any?

Okay then, yeah I guess everything can start smartly, or if you prefer you can everything as random as a random number generator can be, (which is entirely random) .

The consensus so far seems to be that this is just graphical, and damage is simultaneous.

Regarding start bias: this was in Civ IV, and probably in Civ III also. Your starting position always has access to at least a certain amount of resources, and if your civ starts with Fishing it seems you're much more likely to start on the coast.

Non-sequitur: modern cities are looking pretty sexy.

But trade posts look silly in modern era =(

 

[Dark_Jedi06]

I see, I figured I wasn't the first to see it.

Also, that city is pretty sexy...except for that silly little group of tents next to it.

 

[AriochIV]

Looks like they were playing an older build that didn't have the modern trade post graphics in yet. The units still have the older, larger circular unit portraits in the lower left.
