Any word on Palace/Throne Room screen?

Are you sure about that? Is that confirmed?

I don't know for sure, but it stands to reason if Wonders and land improvements will be appearing on the map itself. It's logical to presume that everything else will be as well.

Well, a throne room would be hard to spot on the main map... even when totally zoomed in.

I believe he was talking about the city view at the time.

I meant about there being no city view screen.

While I always disliked it, I defintly now think it should stay and be a part (Which can be opted-out later).

A huge part of the immersion in the game, is not only the tactical map, but also if you really feel and believe you are a great leader.

I remember the feeling in Civ I, when I saw scientists coming to my palace to present me new advances. It was spectacular! I liked it in Civ II as well! (even though it was turned off quikly).

Civ III had very little moments where it made ME feel grand.

Civ IV should strive to keep it!

Sirotnikov, your avatar is REALLY great!

I cut my teeth on CIV2 on Playstation

awesome game

one thing I really enjoyed was the antics between my leaders

I also enjoyed the throne room

Id like to see a return to Elvis and also to a better throne room than we had in CIVIII

I don't. It's just a useless distraction. If it actually meant something in the game I can see keeping it, but it's just eyecandy.

Eyecandy is pretty.

I'm not a fan of elvis, but I do consider myself a fan of classic civ stuff. So I say yes to the 'Throne' room.

I'd rather have it and be able to turn it off if I want, than not have it at all.

Cheers

It's also distracting. I'd rather be able to stay focused on the game itself, not some fluff that doesn't even do anything.

That's why you can turn these things off...
