First Look: The Development Team Video

That is kind of interesting. Ocean tiles may be the only way to get Gold from working tiles. Hopefully Lighthouses and Harbors will increase the Food and Production yields a bit.

 

That's the base output, without Harbor and any buildings inside.

 

Though quality isn't good enough to say for sure, I am almost certain the city's name is Tenochtitlan (possibly Teotihuacan, I can only really make out the first letters).

 

It's not Tenochititlan unless there's another capital that would work for Aztecs, that city ain't the capital. (there is no capital star to denoate the city as such)

 

Same stuff, nothing new.

Well, modders will go nuts. That's interesting.

 

Interesting lamp at 0:13.

 

There has been some evidence that the capital is semi randomized.

(Possibly movable as well)

 

Indeed. Judging by the name's length, it could be Teotihuacan then. Maybe it's just me but the first letters seem like "Te".

 

I'd say there's evidence it's renamable.

 

I really hope so. Either way I'm getting into the modding scene on day one because modding V was so convoluted that you had to be involved from the beginning of the investigation to grasp it.

 

Whoa, check out the pagoda & lighthouse interaction at 1:18

 

Well the appearance of multiple egyptian capitals could be
1. renaming, or it could be
2. select capital from first 5-10 cities on list , or
3. changes in the city list through development


I'm hoping its #2, with movable "original" capital.

 

Farms look very cool at 1:12

 

Going way out on a limb, but what if it's dynamic city naming based on terrain?

 

It's cool that Ed says they spend a lot more time reading forums than we'll ever know.

Hi Ed!

PS Lake Baykal natural wonder, please.

 

That's pretty cool. Looks like I'm going to be building more lighthouses just to see them interact with my city at night.

 

I'll be honest I actually like the the City Naming thing from revolution where you pick a city name list based on a randomized selection of three and pick your one.

 

Yeah. There are about 3 things I like from Civ Rev and that's one of them.

Other 2 are naming terrain features and civ era bonuses.

 

Oh, I forgot about terrain naming. I guess there were 4 things I liked, then. I actually liked the art style, too.

 

What is the district between the Quarry and Oil Wells at 1:26

Housing?
