Those UU's look powerful. Spanish Conquistador, 5.3.2, BEFORE Feudalism?

You'll notice that they're also in a depotism long after they should've changed governments. Chances are its not an accurate game, probably just cheated together to show off the new stuff. They wouldn't unbalance the game by giving a civ cavalry before chivalry...

 

[Melanic Sheep]

In that multiplayer set up screen they have someone playing as Carthage, So I guess at least 4 of the new civs are out of the bag.

Mongol UU - 4/2/2 - wonder what that replaces?

 

[Jeffrey Morris]

Lots of cheating going on. Had a brutal deadline...

Must have been a couple of days of hard work Jeff! Any clues on content and release date of the expansion pack?

 

[Melanic Sheep]

Its a Horseman unit that requires iron, in Exchange it outclasses the mounted warrior for attack. I have a funny feeling I'm going to fear the mongols more than the Persians....

Edit: I meant Iron and horses of course, but I just realized that having 4/2/2 in bronze era no matter what the cost would screw with the balance big time. I'm stumped.

I hope you are joking. An incomplete expansion probably will be enough to incite riots all over the world.

Question: Why give the multiplayer setup screen a new color scheme? It reminds me of Test of Time, and that's not good. ToT's color scheme is notorious.

Edit: It's nice that the "No Goody Huts" option is on the MP setup screen. Maybe Firaxis should add that option to regular game setup screen too... GOTM could use that.

Check the reports from E3 throughout this week. The stuff they mention in that avault article is our focus for the E3 demo I just finished. MP, Single Player and editor.

[Melanic Sheep]

It already is Phillipe...

Edit: PS: The terrain color is just a screw up of sorts, you'll notice the unit is standing on desert.

E3 is being held here in L.A. this week. I hoping to be able to go just to see the demo of the Play the World XP.

E3 stands for Electronic Entertainment Expo. It's an annual event and takes place in Los Angeles. Gaming sites always have detailed coverage of the event.

Nice screenshots.Looks like the Vikings,Carthage,the Mongols and the Spanish will belong to the X-Pack.Any news about what u call "a complete editor"?.Will the limit of 32 civs be held?Will we be able to customize the leader heads?

 

[zse]

There are two new buttons on the screenshot # 2 and #5.
Any comments ? Stacking and autobombard ?

 

[SKILORD]
