Super Top Secret Leaked E3 Photos (includes first view of Brennus!)

[monkspider]

The poster Simplicity over at Apolyton somehow found some E3 photos that a private individual took and posted on some kind of PC repair website without any fanfare. You can view his collection of photos here. There are quite a few very interesting ones.

The biggest one was this: Our first look at the Celts leader, Brennus!

 

[Monado]

Picture IMG_2762a is pretty cool one! I think it is showing the Great Warlord (or whatever the new special person is called) upgrading a certian unit.

 

[JtheJackal]

I can see I'm not the only one who has always associated Brennus with Independence Hall

 

[Monado]

EDIT: Thats George Washington's backround. Brennus' backround may not have been finished at the time of these pictures.

Obviously there is still a bit of work to be done.
Still, this leaves only Wang Kon, Ramses, and Mehmed as the only leaders we haven't seen.

 

[Gumbolt]

Is that the new UU top left in picture behind Brennus or just a worker?

 

[monkspider]

Hmm, in upper left of that picture? Looks like a worker to me.

 

[Sid the Lucid]

Perhaps it's the little-known and even-less-feared Celtic Hoeman unit.

Required to produce the crop-circle wonder...

 

[Watiggi]

Is it my eyes, or are there some new options in that diplomacy screen (other than the Vassal State option)?

edit: Ok, on the left we have:

Gold
Gold per turn
World map
Vassal State
Peace treaty (20 turns)
??? looks like it starts with 'C'.
Technology
??? edit: resources
Cities
Make peace with
Declare war with
Stop trading with.
...and thats it. It isn't full scrolled down though, so there are other things aswell.

The right is the same.

As you might know, I haven't fired up CivIV and bothered to compare so I might just be clutching straws.

[Monado]

Watiggi, my guess is that there isn't much more down there.....it would have all 4 civs in the game redded out under "stop trading with"....then there is also convert religion request

..so that would make another 5-6 lines that we already have in civ4

I am also just guessing though!

 

[Baru]

Gotta be a city name in the wrong place. There is no way that is a recognizable in, well 'merican, as our leader likes to put it.

If anyone can recongnize this in any other language than please let us isolationists know.

 

[The Thracian]

I'm liking the look of the scenarios. much better then civ 4's original ones.

 

[Psycadelic_Magi]

From here it looks like it says 'Capitalization' or 'Civilization' on the right

 

[The Thracian]

To me brennus background looks the same as washingtons

 

[AndreasS]

From here it looks like it says 'Capitalization' or 'Civilization' on the right

Capitulation?

 

[jimbob27]

Castration?

 

[SantaX]

Castration?

Finally something that I would put to good use against montezuma and isabelle...

 

[The Thracian]

Capitulation?

I think your right.

[KrikkitTwo]

Well this does indicate one thing, Vassal State and Capitulation seem to be for AIs only (unless a Tech After Education is required to activate them.. unlikely) This is not good (although if Capitulation is like a Surrender I could see it)
