New CIV 4 Screenies - See them here!

[Nikolai]

One can now start in a particular era.
Beautiful graphics.
The chances of these screens to remain here long.


But I have them on disc, so just give me a hint, and I can send to you as in the other thread.

[Senethro]

Is that a trade caravan I see? 31 resources?


/me has nightmares involving AC supply crawlers.

I feel an uneasiness over these graphics, feels a little "campee" to me

[Robert]

This is like christmas!
Thanks curtsibling! I'll see if I can pickup the magazine overhere in Holland!

[Dale]

Anyone notice in the "Do not adjust your set" pic that at the bottom-left a group of LIONS have a barbarian FLAG!!! Does that mean the environment is hostile too now? Cool.

Also, in "rich and verdant land" if you ask me it definitely looks like the Maya pyramids. Maybe a wonder? I couldn't believe that improvements will be outside city boundaries.

Re: the lions: Probably just some Firaxis guy who has fun with the editor.

Hmmm, seems we still have a square-based system but with full 360-degree view available. The graphics look RTS'ish, which makes me wonder about the gameplay.

We'll just have to wait and see....

[FrostyBoy]

Thanks Curt, I've been trying to get my hands on these!

Civ is looking good!

[Shogun Gunner]

What's an oryx or ibex? I assume they aren't talking about that shoe in the shot....

I'm warming to these graphics...the functionality of zoom and how the mechanics of flashing to action points carries a lot of weight also.

Will Firaxis address the PBEM community with a "recap" file of the opponents unit moves/battles/etc? It sucks trying to figure out what happened to your nation when you haven't looked at the game in 7 days and you are in a bunch of PBEMs.

[Nostromo]

I'm surprised nobody noticed this bit on info on the second screenshot:

Within the confines of the game, however, allying yourself to a certain religion will enable you to curry favour with other like-minded peoples. They're not as stupid as you might assume though, and come fully equipped with a tangible memory. As such, suddenly converting to the same religion will not cut the mustard. As one of the dev team succinctly explained: "They'll be like, 'where were you a thousand years ago?'"

[General Ludd]

"The spanking new engine lets you build the same old square coast lines"


It's lines like that which remind me why I never read magazines.

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

Say the word.

Seriously, remove those images, they are a copyright infringement.

For those people who still want to see them, all known Civ4 screenshots are available on this site. Until the owner gets sued anyway

Yes, I can't believe it either, it's outrageous, they're stealing another idea from CtP. Do they have no shame?

Oh, I wouldn't say a CTP2 idea, more like a Ben/me/Hex/etc idea.
