New CivIV Screenshot from E3

[Snoopy]

Keep an eye on e3, as there is bound to be a lot more info on CivIV coming in soon.

I'm hoping Firaxis releases some High quality direct captures. These grainy magazine scans don't seem to give the game a good shake in terms of getting people fired up.

 

[Snoopy]

Yah, the scanner I've got is no good. I wonder if I can take a digital photo of it.

Have the significance of the flags in the munits been discussed before? I assume they are purely to distingush civs - but horse, bull pics?

 

[dexters]

Could be greek? I'm not familiar with that icon but it could easily represent the Greeks or the Trojans.

 

[dh_epic]

Could be for a scenario, even.

At that view those giants looks a bit of amusing.

 

[Rod]

hello,

that is exactly what i was thinking

 

[Slax]

So, if you zoomed in further would that river still be in between them? How far apart would they be I wonder?

 

[777]

This wakes more questions in me. Is that view spinnable? Can you zoom it stepless? I really hope if there's some info at May's Pelit-magazine.

Get rid of those multi-figure ugly giants!

Get rid of those multi-figure ugly giants!

Exactly what I was thinking. I hate multi-figure units.

Are they in formation or is it just me?

It's just you . There's a second pic in the back of PC Gamer that shows 3 attackers moving forward against some hoplites while 2 remain at the rear with their shields up...also there's no flags in this pic (when they're fighting).

i don't think they're multi-units, when i first saw these (and the old screenshots) i thought the 4 units meant the unit had 4 health, a veteran. it's reinforce the idea that they represent multiple soldiers, plus, all of the 'multi-units' we've seen have bee homogenous, no reason to believe they were ever seperate

 

[MeteorPunch]

Multi-units refers to 1 unit that contains multiple units graphically - not actually multiple units.

 

[Black_Hole]

graphics look a bit like age of mythology

 

[CurtSibling]

Personally, I like the look, but multi-units might make things get crowded!

 

[Grille]

I bet these chaps can take out a tank, hehe.

Crap! You're right! I didn't notice!
