Great, now Firaxis will have to add one more Civ to the game, just to make sure people wont believe in Locutus' 'inside info' in the future

Or one less... *ducks*

You have too much history, that's the problem. I mean, from the Harappa on to today is what? 5000 years?

Are you providing any scenarios for Warlords Locutus? You did do something for the vanilla game didn't you?

Let's see, you were beaten by Alexander, beaten by the Muslims, beaten by the British. Sorry a scenario where you're guarenteed to lose isn't very appealing?

Gah, I knew I messed that up but forgot to edit my post. I was confused, it's 6 new scenarios, not 6 new civs. (While I know largely know what features the XP will have, fine details such as what/how many civs it has have so far been kept from me as well, so no legal issues there )

If only they had probing interrogators like myself in the White House Press Room.


Unique buildings, eh? Interesting.

But... Gauls? Really? Are we sure that's not just a filler for a Rome scenario?


EDIT: And please, Loc & Solver & everyone else who has even informal ties to TPTB... gently persuade them to include the randomize map option? Pretty please?

And yet, we're still here, and you'd better watch out

Are you pushing for Indira Gandhi?

They said in an interview some time ago, that they had some ideas to make the throne room great, or something like that
They mentioned that they hope it could be in the XP, but they wasn't sure

Or at least that's if my memory is not filled with corrupt data, as it usually is...

[Alexander I]

I think I remember hearing abotu that too. I'd love to see the throne room again.

According to gamer.no, a Norwegian gaming site, C4:W will have 6 new civs. And 6 new scenarios. And 10 new leaders and units, 3 new wonders and new resources. Three of the new civs are the Vikings(yay! ), Carthage and Gaul. The new scenarios is about the forming of China, Athens vs Sparta, Alexander the great's conquests, the Viking raids in Europe, Rome at its height, and the conquests of Genghis Khan. All civs will get a new unique building in addition to the UU. Sounds great.

Does sound great. I wonder what the unique buildings will be? And I hope the Gauls is for the Roman scen. If they were going to include a "barbarian" European civ from that time period, I'd much rather have the Goths.

No WW2? Then why the WW2 leaders? Especially since England and Russia already have two?

Other than that, sounds good

Not sure I could tell you if I was, but no, not this time -- at least not as designer. I *am* working on a new scenario though, but on my own. That's every bit as ambitious as any Firaxis scenario is ever going to be (I actually pitched it to Firaxis, but for the vanilla game it was too complex, and for Warlords there were other issues I can't go into -- so I figured I could either wait for expansion pack 2 or 3 or do it myself, and I'm not patient enough to wait that long )

And yes, I did Desert War for the vanilla game (with Dale and Isak) and helped Rhye with the scripting of Greek World (as well as a fair bit of playtesting for another scenario that in the end wasn't released (can't go into details as I don't know what the future plans for it are)).

[Alexander I]

Well, it's possible that the Gaulish civ in the Roman scenario could be the Celtic amalgam civ we've seen before, though I'd like to see Vercingetorix as the leader rather than Cunobelin or Brennus. He's much more famous, but maybe the name's too long. I just hope that they give it a good capital this time, maybe Alesia? Entremont was dumb, so was Cardiff.

I'd like to see some Goths too, with either Alaric the Visigoth or Theodoric the Ostrogoth.

If there's only six civs coming, and three are Gaul, Carthage, and Vikings, then I'd hope the other three are Babylon, Turkey, and Korea.

If there's only ten leaders, then the extra four we've already seen. 6 leaders for the new civs, plus Ramses?, Churchill, Stalin, Augustus.

If we've got Gaul, Carthage and Vikings, I'd think the leaders would be Vercingetorix, Hannibal, and Ragnar Lodbrok or Knut.

Oh, for more info!
