cIV E3 stuff

[Adagio]

Thx for the transcript Locutus

Did anyone count how many times Soren said "you know" during the interview?

Still nobody who has managed to get the video to HD?

[FrostyBoy]

It just worked for me, just keep trying.

Anyone else notice the lack of assistants on the diplomacy screens!?

[Adagio]

I'm on the way to it now, but on the way I just noticed something:

Civilization IV is todays #1 game... good job everyone

Well, the correspondence between the display (i.e. number of men in one unit) and the unit's HP is confirmed. Nice.

As for Soren killing himself, we can only allow this next year earilest, sorry.

I can't watch the video right now on this pc.
Can you guys explain how the diplomacy screen looks / works?

[alva]

I can't open the live stage demo stream one.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").

Anyone know a way around this? Tried both IE and Firefox.

Try this:

I tried reinstalling WMP10 and guess what; it works now.

Great video, can't wait to play this game.

Thanks for the help all.

There are now three more movies, which are basically footage from the long demo, without sound, and supposedly in "HD quality"... Well, of course, streaming doesn't add any quality whatsoever, and for some odd reason I can't download the videos, as when I click the download link, I get redirected to the front page of www.gamespot.com . It'd be nice to see a non-fuzzy version of the videos though, to make out the details and such.

EDIT: Never mind, looks like the firewall was blocking some cookies it wasn't supposed to. Downloading the videos now, and looking for a magnifying glass to examine them with.

Alright, one piece of eye-candy I wasn't aware of before is, apparently when units move, they leave tracks behind:

Hey, if you zoom in it, then you can magnify the units -and other civilopedia screens. Screenshots of those?
