New CIV 4 Screenies - See them here!

[curtsibling]

Kinky new screenies for CIV4, courtesy of the PC Zone Mag...

A magazine which I insist you all go and buy ASAP!

Notice the British humour, and the new elements in the game - Enjoy!

I will immediately take these down if a Mod asks me to.

Or if a Mod wishes to remove them, please do.

EDIT:

Screenies removed.

Now, buy the magazine!

Keep in mind that these will be removed soon as a copyright violation .

I am still not a fan of the new look, but then again, I am not forced to zoom in, and zoomed out it looks OK.

[curtsibling]

I want to treat these as a mere taster of the magazine.

I suggest everyone buys it to get tons of game info and far
better-looking screenies than my meagre scanner can create.

Tell that to the lawyers.

[curtsibling]

If you wish me to to remove them right now, I will.

Say the word.

It looks pretty good, especially the units. I hope we can zoom in/zoom out with the mouse wheel. Speaking of zooming in, can you actually have a close-up view of your cities? And what's the pyramid in the "rich verdant land" screenie?

[curtsibling]

Seems like the classic CIV temple...

[Nostromo]

But what's it doing there? City improvements aren't inside city perimeters anymore?

I hope we can zoom in/zoom out with the mouse wheel.

I hope not. Zooming is probably only eye candy and not really useful, so I'd rather have the wheel scroll the map, which is needed at all times and is more convenient than moving your mouse to scroll.

The game uses XML, right? I was wondering if the modding possibilities extend to the user interface... Mapping keys, mouse buttons, etc. does not seem hard to do...

EDITS:
"Civ IV now lets you start the game in a particular era." Now I know what they meant by making the game faster. This might be interesting (and finally not require an hours work in the editor ).

The units will definately need a size reduction as soon as I get the game.
They look good, though (I am a fan of multi-units — too bad the Conquests' ones were not done so far.)

I can see a palm tree with bananas hanging in the 'rich and verdant' screenie!

to the beautiful graphics, the hills, mts., and trees look very nice.

BTW: they didn't show any irrigation, I am hoping it looks like farms instead of just the irrigation ditches.

[curtsibling]

Seeing farms and terrain upgrades instead of irrigation would be a nice change...

But that remains to be seen....
