Screenshots: The Subtle Informant

Interesting. I think the SoZ is the first world wonder to require prerequisite buildings in more than one city.

The SoZ is the ultimate Cultural victory wonder. Monuments are useful for a Cultural Victory anyway and the SoZ makes it harder for opponents to attack you while also contributing culture itself.

So far some are quite obvious, such as sliders showing commerce... I'm curious as to how many of the really subtle things will be seen and how fast

I can, for example, spot that Steve manages to be getting Liberalism while not having Drama.

that one's too subtle for me. i've done that already. drama is an OR with Code of Laws for Philosophy, and an OR with Lit for Music. can you tell he's missing CoL as well? AFAIK Drama isn't required for any tech. even building broadway.

Spoiler :

staged photo because it made me giggle, but i promise you, not worldbuildered. i was beelining to mass media and skipped drama entirely.

You know, I wonder if the # of Monuments required for the Statue of Zeus may be based on world size? 2 for Standard, 3 for Large, etc.?

This pic has a better angle shot of the Moai Statues, pretty much confirming what we thought on page 1.

EDIT: Fixed link

Notice on Image 11 of 64 here there is a large medieval fortress positioned below Carthage... Something new?

Norwegian Coat of Arms is very similar.. except the lion holds an axe, and the background is red

I find the Norwegian Lion totaly diffrent from the Dutch lion. In most heraldy Lions appear, but every country has is own lion. The Dutch lion is also used in provincial Flags and Coat of Arms.

And our Lion isn't a Axeman but a swordsman

Actually this pic shows a much better view of them. We are just looking at their BACKS! Not their front. I guess if you turn the camera you will have an even better view.

I'm sorry, but I don't see where people got the flag changing from. Can someone link me to pictures that illustrate it?

Seconded. Anyone?

The flags designs do not change; the flag shapes change.

This screenshot clearly shows the early Greek flag, which has a triangular pattern instead of the traditional square one.

The Statue of Zeus requires three monuments, not two.

Yeah, I'm betting it's based off of map size, just like cathedrals.

You are right! This should link to the right pic though. The fort is located below the city name.

The Native Americans' flag can be seen here. It's kind of hard to see, but it looks like a buffalo.

Another observation: from the AP screen, it looks like 75% of member states' votes are required to go for you in order to win Religious Diplomatic Victory.

I never noticed that about cathedrals! Interesting...

yeah, I fixed the link. It depends on how you peruse the gallery. I better go check the other posts I made ...

So you must have 4 options now for Diplo Voting:
Yes
No
Abstain
Never!

So the question is: do you get a diplomatic penalty if you vote Never and the resolution doesn't pass, or will it only be when you pass?

 

[flamingzaroc121]

kinda obvious but under the civilopedia icon they added two new buttons, one for espionage one for corporation

A bunch of us are have trouble getting the link to connect to the right page. I know I copied the URL for that pic but it didn't work! (I'll stick to citing page X of Y)

So what is that fortress? Hmmm...

 

[Gaius Octavius]

That "fort" is just the Castle already in Civ 4. I thought the same thing when I first saw it.

No, it's the common castle.
