Excellent find Strukturalist. Oh, and may I also be the first to welcome you to our happy little family . You have chosen a great way to make an introduction IMO !
Well, there is stuff mentioned in this 'interview' which I really like the sound of (like the bonus that improvements, wonders and civics choices give to XP gains), but it is sounding like they have backed away from the original plan of Combat 1-5 being equivalent to Conscript through to Elite. Hope I misread this part, but it doesn't sound like I have . Oh well, guess I will have to wait and see how it plays-maybe I will prefer the new system.

Yours,
Aussie_Lurker.

Nice screen shots, I’ve never seen the Barbarians before.

One of the screenshots shows two empires using the same flag. Any one got ideas as to what that means? Could it be a civil war or an empire splitting in two?

 

[Aussie_Lurker]

Which screen are you referring to Catsnack?

 

[Melendwyr]

The fourth screen from the left on the top. Two flags are identical except for the colors.

Interesting, some comments:
screen1: Will we get a new palace, this time again a throne room?
screen2/3: Well, nice, but doesn't tell us anything of civIv.
screen4: I think, aussie_lurker, this is the screen with the two same flags. As you can see the two civs (brown and white, Mongol and ?? ) have the same flag which only differ regarding the colours.

I think flag in question belongs to the Mongols (Although the left most city on the screenshot is Memphis, an Egyptian City...) The colours are different but the flag picture is the same. Hmm, I wonder what this means.

 

[Aussie_Lurker]

Hate to douse your enthusiasm guys, but given that the civ with the white flag seems to be Egypt, I don't think this is a sign that civil war is in the game. It just seems like they have coincidentally similar flags. Thats how I read it, at any rate.

Perhaps there's a default symbol for any civ that doesn't have a particular 'crest' or symbol attached to it...or maybe they all get that symbol in ancient times (although on further inspection of the remainnig screen shots, that doesn't look likely...

Do you think that trees etc. should be larger to compensate with units?

 

[Roland Johansen]

Those terrain improvements that look like small villages, could they be some kind of replacement for the mine improvement of civ3 on graslands? (see second picture of the second line of pictures, left of the river).

I couldn't find any mention about them in civrules pre-release information. Are they new, or did I just not look in the right place.

I've seen them before, but I don't want to speculate as to what they are... IIRC no one has said what they are yet.

Thanks for the info, BTW, Strukturalist, and welcome to CFC.

The page does not load completely for me, and I see no screenshots.

Are the screenshots on the link page?

I've uploaded them to CFC's gallery if you want to check there.

There is one screenshot where a city of size 11 builds an aquaduct... does this mean cities can grow beyond size 6 before they need an aquaduct?

 

[SonicX]

Hmm, I think the colors of the bars need to be changed to the civil colors as well ... it would make it a bit more obvious which city belong where. And the religious symbol is a bit small, hard to differentiate from the background.
Just my view though.

And I must add, WHEN we will get to see a modern screenshot ? I kinda know how ancients look like by now, but how do modern cities, units and land improvement look ? :?

@ Strukturalist : Thanks for the pictures and welcome. I have to mention though that I just had a philosophy exam and your nick disgusts me at the moment

No, I don't think so.
The city is adjacent to a river so I could grow to size 12 anyway, but I presume it's building an aqueduct just to improve health instead of removing the 6pop limit.

Thank-you. (I still can't see the screenshots at the source site.)

No, I think those really are two of the same flag, just in different colors. They are completely identical. Besides I think I've seen the Egyptian flag as yellow with the symbol for Ra on it.

Why one mongol faction has Memphis though I don't know.
