obligatory BNW screenshot thread

We already had this discussion. I personally don't think there will be a hidden nationality UU, but at least one person in this thread disagrees. Even with a Mil CS, it wouldn't quite work because they won't gift the unit if the Civ is in the game.
 
I blew this one up to twice its original size. You can see when you zoom in that both cities are in fact building some sort of infantry.........most probably their UU

 
Here is a dumb idea for the barbarian unit. What if there is a Native American civ that has a UU that can build barbarian camps and those barb camps generate a barbarian version of the UU (sans camp building ability). Obviously those player made camps would have to have no profit to capture.

I know it's unlikely.
 
One or two new Screenshots from the Pax showing off of Poland. Part of the trade screen was cut off in the demo and you see the full overview for the caravan here:

I don't see any new screenshots. I do see two empty spaces where screenshots should be.

The second one has a better pic of the trade overview screen for a caravan that was partly cut off in the demo thanks to the poor cameraman. Also I thought we hadn't seen Pedro's concept art before?

Oh. Yes, you are right about Poland's picture. But I remember seeing Pedro's concept art before.
 
What is the camel unit in the tomahawk's picture ?

Very unlikely. Considering how politically correct Firaxis is, to give a Native American civilization the ability to spawn barbarians... implying that they are barbarians... I just don't see that happening.
 
Why would it take 40 turns for São Paulo to finish a Pracinha? Isn't that a bit too much for a basic infantry unit?

Well, if the player is on Marathon and the cities are awful low in production is completelly possible... The icon certainly look like infantry units to me...

The screenshot was likely taken just to show off the unit. They didn't actually play through a full game, but staged the picture. No need to worry about the production costs.

São Paulo placement and Rio's improvements kinda proves what you said.

Actually, this would be far from the first time I had seen the AI place cities or improve tiles like this. :rolleyes: But actual game or not, I also get the impression that the game has only been played up to a certain time and then they unlocked all the late era content like XCOM's and GDR's to show them off in the same shot, which would explain why it takes so unusual long for the cities to build this unit - a normal Infantry costs 375 production, which will take a long time for an underdeveloped city to produce.
 
I suspect it's a placeholder icon for the Winged Hussars' knockback ability.
 
UU-specific promotions don't have unique icons, they're just a gold triangle.

Then maybe it will be available to other generic units at the appropriate promotion level?
