Another day, another new preview from Gamespot.

This one focuses on late-game play and also covers spies, wonder building, and victory conditions.

Also there's a bunch of new screens.

they used Al Gore's picture for the World Project (wonder? ) picture for The Internet.

I wonder if this'll be kept for the final release.

I hope they keep it as a easter egg.

it's civ tradition to have these kind of fun elements. it should be kept in the final as is!

That made my night when I saw that. Somehow I doubt they'll keep it for final, but you never know

Here's for hoping.

Wasn't in Civ the final (worst) ranking that quote more or less "your're hopeless as Dan Quayle"?

[Nikolai]

I think it was. I remember the sentence at least. Who is that guy btw?

The Vice President under Bush Sr.

anyway, back on topic:
seeing so many reviews that go into the later eras is very promising! i remember my very first civ3 game crashed when i started bombing runs. that was really annoying because it was a fun game.

i am pretty positive about a higher quality this time around - despite "presponing" the release by a few weeks.

although... i'd love to hear confirmation of an acceptable quality by one of the many lucky bastards who were accepted as beta testers

They can't. They're busy reinstalling Windows after the game crashed horribly and took the OS with it.

Of course, just kidding.
