    Maybe part of the known map is blank because not all units "map" the terrain, or it is dependent on a technology like "Map Making"?

      Re: the merchant: Could it be that it is spawned from a caravan, much like Great Leaders in Civ3 is spawned from combat units?

        Has the symbol for production (shields) changed? Look at the round button next to the mini map. It seems to have a food symbol, a gold symbol and a little hammer. I would think this might be a button to turn on map symbols to show how many food/gold/shields are produced in each tile (like Civ3 hotkeys do). But that does not look like a shield.

                The arrow going over the dot could be guarding a city/unit/terrain improvement

                  Look at the 3 mines, all 3 are different from each other.

                  But what could they be at such an early stage of the game?

                      Though why is it that there's a city in the middle of all the blackness? This is not SMAC where your unit suddenly could be on the other side of the planet

                        user interface is nice
                        very reminiscent of "old" games (1990s).

                        but it does need some face life. especially the horrible font...

                          btw, just wanted to clarify something... the unit you see there is not a Civ2 caravan-type unit. It is a Great Person (specifically a Merchant). It does have some Trade Mission functionality, but you can't just build these units, so micro-management is not really a problem.

                          - It's a cannon fuse.
                          - What's it for?
                          - It's for my cannon.

                            Sounds great, thanks, now I don't have that to worry about

                              I hope there will be some other trade route system though. Currently there's no way trader countries such as Portugal, the Netherlands or Venice can be represented in Civ.

                                Thanks for the screenshot. Civ4 is looking really interesting.
                                'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
