First Civ 4 Screenshots!
- Thread starter Jon Shafer
- Start date
The graphics will change! They aren't the final graphics! 
(Hey, atleast you have Snoopy to ask for better graphics). BTW, since those graphics are down, does anyone remember if there were the same number of units in each stack? ...

I believe there were 4 (I know there were for the spearman), and I think there were 4 'warriors' too.

Wrapping from North to south would be nice.... but only if it were toggled.
Battles done in the same style as the "Total War" series?
Trade Routes. Say the Americans are trading Oil to Russia. I think it would be nice if you, we'll say you are Japan, would be able to attack the trade convoy, if it be by land, sea or air, and either destroy it or steal it.
Different Currency for every civ? A new "Economic" victory type?

That would be kind of hard to do in a turnbased game where turns can represent decades, or years. You do that in a way in Civ3 if you're at war with a city. Their trade route can't flow through your territory.

I realize the the graphics will be better, but right now, they're worse than civ3 in many respects. civ3 made a deliberate attempt to 'lighten up' the graphics, which it did just fine. civ4 seems to be going for an almost cartoon-y look.
The lack of an HP bar worries me, as does the hype about "3D zoom" being a major feature.
As for what I hope for in this game, I want canals, north-south wrap, and Alpha Centauri-esque government editor (perhaps that's what the mysterious 'civics' are...)

North-south wrap? That's wierd... It doesn't make any sense realistically, and I don't think that it will improve the game any.

Hey guys, Chill-OK? I really don't want to see this turn into the acrimonious '***** fight' that we saw in the lead up to, and the months following, the release of civ3!!! I accept that vanilla civ3 didn't live up to ALL expectations, but the game was miles better than civ2, and they DID listen to us and make the improvements needed to get us to C3C-which I think is brilliant.
I, for one, am happy to show a little bit of faith, and reserve my judgement until closer to the release date!

Huh, if you go to the north pole from Canada you end up in Siberia... Actually, on a more serious note, it would be great if the world was kind of round. I'm not sure how that would work I mean the game has to be flat locally but the idea of wrapping both east-west and north-south would be a first step. Another one would be to have the top and bottom parts of the map slightly narrower to give a sense of projection like a real map.
I too will reserve my judgments of the game when the date nears.
I'm very surprised some people are already making judgments of the very first images of a game that is just about a year away.
I mean, how do you link what has been shown, to what will finally come out?

Wrapping both directions makes a toroidal topology - in other words a donut. I personally don't think that this is any more realistic than the current cylindrical topology. Since easily crossing the poles wasn't really feasible till modern eras, the cylindrical model is a bit better, IMHO.

Hey, spare a thought for us poor Australians. If I'm not mistaken, I won't see THAT particular issue until around Mid to late January 2005
