Naval Combat in cIV

[dearmad]

What kinda beta testing was that!?!?

Sounds suspiciously more like beta playing....

A good sign if ever I've seen one.

I'm assuming this is not an exhuastive list.

So then, blockades do remain the big unanswered question. There presence-and ease to perform-will not only play a vital role in the importance of navies, but could also form a vital part of diplomacy too (especially if the Civ3 embargo has made a return-Solver, MarkG-care to confirm or deny?) Guess I will have to wait until the game comes out to find this stuff out!

Just like the rest of us.

[The_Aussie_Lurker]

Yeah, but you guys will probably be getting the game before me (7 days until release over in the US-and EU?), wheras I still over 2 weeks before I get it. So could one of you guys PLEASE let me know about blockades as soon as you know?
Thanks in advance !

Don't be so sure about that. Release date for a continent doesn't mean it will be in all shops at that day in alot of cases.

Does this mean they now land a decent sized force and actually use it. If so

[The_Aussie_Lurker]

Well, judging from that screenie posted with Part 2 of the preview, the Mongols landed around 7-8 units at that city-a pretty good force in Civ4 terms-and a well mixed stack at that (siege units, pikemen, elephant and knights). So based on that alone it does seem like they land in force.

If so, that's good.
