Screenshot analysis!

I think the stuff on the right side is maybe clay. It's definitely different from the stuff on the left side. I think that you're right about the later. It seems to be copper.

 

Some buildings are built on city tiles themselves. We could see Palace, Monument and Granary. Looks like there's not enough place for anything else except for walls.

 

Lighthouses seem to be in weird locations, like in screenshot 2 the great lighthouse takes up one hex and it looks like a harbor takes up the other hex, yet in between these 2 hexes is a lighthouse... Yet there's only 2 water hexes and 3 buildings. In the third screenshot a lighthouse is in a weird position also.

 

I'm guessing that regular lighthouses are part of harbour districts and show up there like barracks would show up in military districts.

 

Yeah, this perfectly makes sense.

 

That seems likely to me as well, and they probably appear on the edge of the Harbor District in the direction of open water.

 

Yeah makes sense, the lighthouse will be a building you can build in the harbor district.

 

I'd rather play the game then spend hours per playthrough waiting to be able to play it while looking at it.

If I want a realistic picture of what the world looks like, it's a short trip from my computer to the front door, but I can't in good conscience do Civ actions IRL.

 

Thousands of hours in the series, but I just can't get past how dumb this looks. The screenshots are telling me LOUDLY that they aren't making Civ for me anymore.

 

Great mod!

 

Too much brown filter for my taste reminds me of a wii game.

 

This is amazing! I might try my hand at some edits later on.

 

wow

considering you've got to be on the inside team TMIT... one can only suppose that Civ as we know it... or once knew it... is....


Dead

 

I'm just saying that I don't think you can win a diplo victory in real life by nuking people, unless you have a...liberally applied definition of "diplomatic" and "victory".

 

This was my very first thought when I saw the screens. I'd be lying if I didn't say I felt a pang of disappointment.

 

My take on editing:

Spoiler :

 

The screenshots confirm rivers will be placed the same. That's a phooey.

Is that an elevation property on some coastal tiles? See, some have a rocky cliff but others have a beachhead.

 

The dof effect adds a ton to the visuals. Hope it's a toggle in the final game.

 

Depth of field is really silly in strategy games. You're obscuring my vision.

It's likely that certain actions or improvements may require a beach instead of a cliff, or vice-versa.

Note how the waves are crashing against the cliffs. It's a nice touch. Animation may add a lot to the relatively simplistic graphics.

 

Perhaps Embarkation cannot be done at cliffs.
