Super IGN preview

I empathise with Weezer's point. Civ x-packs don't offer a great deal usually, though I have hopes they have bucked the trend with Warlords, which I will of course buy anyway.

2 units, not counting the 6 new unique units.

Triremes - an early military ship.
Trebuchets - post catapult siege weapon.

The full details of them are near the end of the preview linked in the opening post of this thread.

Even if you don't play scenarios the following new features are also included:

1) Vassal states
2) Unique buildings
3) New traits (many of the original leaders have new trait pairings)

Plus the standard new civs (6 of them) and leaders (10).

* At least one new building (stables)
* Great Generals

I'm probably forgetting something.

IMO the last thing that CIV needs is a bunch of new units to clutter up the basic game, that's what mods are for. I'd much rather have the type of variety content that they appear to be adding.

* 3 new wonders

I'd like a longer and broader tech tree myself, but you can't always get what you want.

No, that's what promotions are for. With promotions we get an extensive variety of units without the need for expensive, time-consuming artwork.

Not that I have anything against mods, you understand.
Dale's Combat Mod shows LOTS of promise.

Well it's not really one or the other.

I was just hoping few modern units to Warlords, like paratroopers, some modern artillery, aegis cruiser.... Civ3 Conquest has many cool units. Hopefully they add some more to Warlords. I wait and see release date and maybe I had to buy it.

So what happened to the new resources? When Warlords was first announced, they mentioned that there would be new resources in the game as well, but I've seen no mention of them at all.

Were they dropped Solver? I'm sure your NDA allows you to at least tell us whether we'll be seeing them or not, I'm not asking for specifics.

I've never heard that mentioned

There could be scenario-specific resources, but I haven't heard any mention of them adding (or supposedly saying there'd be) new resources. There's a pretty nice resource mod you can get tho that adds stuff like coffee.

Mmm. Coffee. Teacher, mother, secret lover...

Yay, hot coffee

Hmm... got a link? I really can't recall any mention of new resources ever.

Well it does mention something on the web site about them, though there's no specifics. I guess maybe they'll be just scenario related.

Probably a good thing, there's not much room for any more in the city screen anyway. In one game I played, I had so many luxuries that the icons were running into, and behind, the specialist ones. You might want to mention that to QA BTW. The specialist icons should be lowered slightly. I'm no longer in the loop since the patch was released.
