New 1UP preview & movie

[Shivam]

whoo. lots of questions today =)

Ok, lets start at the top. Yes, backing out of an MPP totally trashes your rep, but i'd rather that than get sucked into an endless war.

The icons all have popup help explaining exactly what they are, and the civilopedia is still as richly detailed and helpful as ever.

As for the missionary, Jesse was playing China in the demo, and used a debug to change from Jewish to Christian, but the text didnt change because he would have had to end the turn for it to refresh, which would have ruined the conditions of his demo. I'm not sure if there are other missionary units though. I hope so =)

Yes, you can have multiple great people, mainly by devoting resources to making them. And don't think that popping a few greats is going to autoflip a city. It's just going to make the job a lot easier, and really irritate the enemy =)

@ Shivam Resourses to make great people? They don't spawn randomly? WOAH!! Please elaborate!!

on a side note, you were not a goober, you just looked really stoked to be in the room with cIV. I could just see it in your eyes, you wanted to go "Hey, is that Elvis!" (while pointing) Then grab that laptop and run to a cave and play for a week straight.

You truly are one of the Fanatics, Welcome! (music fanfare in the background)

oh dude, if it was a hands on preview, i'd never have left =)
and for the record, i've lurked here for a long time (downloading mods and stuff for civ3), but under a different screen name, for which i forgot the password.

and actually, i have no concrete idea how GP show up. Jesse kinda brushed over it. I think it has something to do with how you allocate stuff in your city, ie a city that has a lot of culture will get great artists, cities with lots of econ get great merchants, etc.
