    They said there will be fewer units in the game so that is probably why the AI turns will be shorter.

    Unless the AI will be programmed to think less.

      I'm assuming the AI will start to 'think' while you are still on your turn to shorten the time it needs, or at least make it seem go faster.

      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
      Then why call him God? - Epicurus

        That's possible. I hope the required processing power doesn't slow down those cute little horsies and sheep running around on the map.

          The link in the news article led me to www.apolyton.net not firaxis website.

            Odd, I know for sure I tested that link. Oh well, fixed now...

                Am I the only one who thinks the trees may be a little too sparce and/or the tree shadows are a bit skeletonish?

                  I'm sure plenty of graphics mods will be released...

                  At first glance, the gfx don't look great to me, particularly the mountains, but that's not too big a deal to me, since mods will appear, and gameplay is more important...

                      It could be Grocer. A different name for marketplace probably.

                        I considered Grocer, but it kinda seemed weird to have a Grocer in the game. Now that I think about, it actually makes sense - since you need different food to support the health in your cities, it makes sense to have a dedicated food marketplace to boost health and such.

                          I hope they don't have pictures of Sid in this game...

                          Also, they seem to have a good contact at Time Magazine... IIRC Civ 3 was also mentioned in the same way in the same magazine... Better head-line probably is "Best gaming franchise of all time"?

                                There's also a bit of Civ4 information and a couple of screenshots on 2K Games' website.



                                I don't know if this has been mentioned before or not.
