A couple new screens, with some gunpowder units and zoomed-in shots on cities.

Also, what appears to be the Greeks (Athens, Corinth) and Arabs (Baghdad, Mecca, Medina, Damascus)

I may be blind but I see neither greeks or arabs...

[Solver]

One of the cities is building a Redcoat - English unique unit?

Of course, it's just an assumption based on city names.

The cities look very nice. But what's that building doing in the water?

[Zoid]

ixnay, are we looking at the same picture? I see one city named "TheCityGodForgot"...

the city god forgot?????

[Zoid]

I suppose he could mean Athens. But I don´t think so...

[Kuciwalker]

I have the feeling that's a custom city name... not sure why.

Someone on Firaxis is playin' jokes on Judaism, that's for sure.

[Kuciwalker]

btw, this game looks beautiful

The building on the water has to be a...houseboat!

What's the green face above the city name? It looks like a "Mr. Yuk" you would put on the fridge to warn children about poison.

[DerSchwarzfalke]

It's a harbor, you schmoes.

Those pictures of the cities are pretty snap, I must admit. I like how that is turning out at least; it is a nice stylistic change for the game. It will be very cool to see wonders on the map.

[Qwi]

to me the houseboat looks more like something that needs to be fixed. There are several others things that seem to sit in the water aswell if only partially, seems like something that would be fixable though.
