GameSpy's Civ3 Coverage at E3

[Thunderfall]

<img src="http://www.civfanatics.com/images/e3logo.gif" align=right>I am extremely delighted to see the new screenshots in <a href="http://www.gamespy.com/e3/civ3/" target=link>GameSpy</a>'s Civ3 preview. I think you'll be greatly impressed too. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0>

The <a href="http://www.gamespy.com/asp/image.asp?/e3/civ3/image18.jpg" target=link>main map screen</a> now has shadow of war activated and each unit on the screen has a green health bar at the left. In the <a href="http://www.gamespy.com/asp/image.asp?/e3/civ3/image2.jpg" target=link>barter table screen</a>, a simple expandable thread system is used. It displays the available options when you click on it. The last new screenshot appears to be a <a href="http://www.gamespy.com/asp/image.asp?/e3/civ3/image20.jpg" target=link>investigate city screen</a> (note the Eagle eye in the middle of the screen). The new graphics for things like trade and luxuries make the screen look even more refined.


Firaxis was not joking when they say they reach a new milestone everyday. GameSpy predicts a Fall 2001 release date for Civ3. It sounds unlikely but nothing is impossible. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0>

Hey, Firaxis, CHILL!! Continue on this tour and I'll have a heart attack. Even while I'm 19.

Seriously: it looks great.

I still don't like irrigation and those high mountains.
But all the rest is really GREAT

I also like this new health-bar on the left! Even better than shields and a lot better than circles!

there is something strange here. bactra and oka don´t have any borders and onnontare just have it around the city. are they barbarians?

i don´t like the fog of war, it makes the screen to dark, but i think you will be able to toggle it off.

btw, why does it stand "eye on them, sir" under a horse?
