Anybody found 'hidden' features?

Tenochtitlán Revealed was on the CivII soundtrack.

You can even see it, before you get the tech for centering the world map.

I've never seen that

I'm learning to say and speak koine Greek. What version of Greek is used in C4?

[Kassiopeia]

Wow, I've seen that dark spot once too, I kept thinking it was FOW but even when I had units move there it would not go away. I just wrote it off as a glitch, and didn't figure out that it'd be the centre of the map's surface. Cool!

GOD I hate that one! I hope they're .wav files because the first thing I'll do tonight is replace it with the Harry met Sally diner sound ( you know what I'm talking about) or something else, it's awful. I'd rather listen to a carrot top 1-800-COLLECT commercial.

By the way, do you think they got ripped off by Spock on this one? The monotone way he delivers these supposedly "wonderous" and "momentus" breakthroughs is pretty lame. Was he sick that day, distracted, or just rushed? I think it's great that they got Nemoy, but but his voice acting performance is pretty bad, they all sound like he's reading off graduation names or something.

he's Vulcan. He speaks in the same vulcan logical way he did on Star Trek.

Not only that but he uses the same quote by Aristotle ('the whole is greater than the sum of its parts') for TWO different technologies: replaceable parts and composites.

If you click on the screen between the 2K logos and the Firaxis logos, all the different logos act like they were a button that you clicked

check these colors out.

I'm not exactly sure how I got them. I tried to move one of my workers (because it looked like he was ready to move), but the upkeep phase still hadn't finished- I had a wonder that finished the same turn, it just hadn't loaded the movie yet.

Hey, what are those building icons along the right-hand side of the screen?

yeah, I would like to know if "playing Sid as Barbarian Civ" ain't justa spoof either

"If you open the Civ4CiviliationInfos.xml file and edit the "bAIPlayable" and "bPlayable" settings to 1 instead of zero the Barbarians become playable as a civilization.

When you choose the barbarians as a civ in the menu, you will be able to choose two skill levels. Minors or barbarians." -- mabusciv


There you have it, no spoof no photoshop just a well hidden and well found feature.

Looks like the SDI, something I don't instantly recognize, and a granary.
But if you want to know what they are doing there, those pop up when construction is finished. Click 'em and you jump to that city.

Is that a MOD you have or is that ingame?

I'd kinda like that.

It's ingame. But if you have under options the popups selected you jump first to finished productions at the start of a turn so have barely a chance to see those icons.

Those are the improvements/units/projects completed this turn. For some reason, after the patch, the popups for what to build in each city that just completed something come up at the end of the turn now, instead of the beginning. I don't like this, but I'm used to it. So at the beginnning of the turn, all I get is those icons telling me what's completed.
