You're just a few seconds too late. It looks like the Hittites are in.

[History Guy]

Big Furry, I'd agree, except for Byzantium. I doubt that they would do that because of Istanbul.

[E_T]

I'll add things as I think of them...

Other things: Earthquakes, with epicenters and magnitude (effecting a tile area)
Tsunami (resulting from an underwater earthquake).
(and I wouldn't be a Florida boy if I forget this) Hurricanes.
Global cooling - remember the little Ice age??

[History Guy]

So...

Sumerians

Uruk (?)
Enkidu Warrior

History Guy , what does the civlopedia say about the Iroquois?

Do you think the scout is a UU or flavor unit?

Not of this below counts
-----------

I think the Javelineer replaces Archer and is 3.1.1

The Endika Warrior replaces the warrior and is either 1.2.1 or 2.1.1 with 10 cost

EDIT: Woops, made a mistake in my lazyness

[The Templar]

Hey BigFurryMonster, isn't Bauxite only valuable because you can smelt aluminum from it? (And aluminum is already in the game)

[History Guy]

Louis-- I'm not sure how to post .pcx attachments, so I'll just describe how I found it. Right-clicking on Start, I pressed Explore, and opened Program Files. From there, I clicked on Infogrames, then on CivIII. Click on Art, then Civilopedia. From there, click on Icons. Then, click units. There should be an image marked '02ScoutIroquois', or something to that effect, producing an image of a fearsome looking scout character who seems to have been the prototype UU!

As for lists...

Nothing to say where Mayans or Hittites are concerned.

Inca
Inca Atahualpa
Incan Scout
Cuzco

Israelites
King David
Slinger (2/1/2, replaces Archer)
Jerusalem

Sumerians
King Gilgamesh
Enkidu Warrior
Uruk

Portuguese
King Don Juan
Nao (upgraded defensive Galleon?)
Lisbon

Dutch
Stadholder Willem van Oranje
Ship of the Line (faster Frigate?)
Amsterdam

Those should be definite. But Ethiopia, Polynesia, Khmers, and some others I'd have liked to see shouldn't be left out...

[Louis XXIV]

OK, looks cool.

I hope this isn't their UU though. It adds balance issues to what might be a cool civ

[Inverse Icarus]

useless stuff for $30 that will be required to buy to get bugfixes.

[Azeem]

The Mayan leader is probably going to be Pacal or Yaxcuctmo (not sure if that's the correct spelling).

I'm hoping for the Khmers and Nubia to be included.

Anyway:

Civilizations
1 Maya
Leader- Pacal; Capital-Tikal; UU-Javelin Thrower

2 Inca
Leader-Atahualpa; Capital-Cuzco; UU-Clubman

3 Sumeria
Leader-Gilgamesh; Capital-Ur; UU-Ekindu Warrior

4 Khmer
Leader-??; Capital-Angkor; UU-??

5 Nubia
Leader-Taharqa (or "Taharka"); Capital-Meroe; UU-Archer of the Eyes

6 Hittites
Leader-Mursilis; Capital-??; UU-??

7 Hebrews
Leader-King David; Capital-Jerusalem; UU-Merkava?

8 Polynesians
Leader-Kamehameha; Capital-Oahu; UU-??

Resources
1 Copper
2 Bauxite
3 Exotic Birds
4 Jade
5 Tobacco

Wonders
1 Eiffel Tower
2 Statue of Liberty
3 Taj Mahal

Governments
1 Fundamentalism
2 Sultanate

Disasters
Volcanoes
Floods
Plague
Storms

[statusperfect]

this expansion deifnitedly seems MUCH more inspired than PtW. as long as the light of heavenly inspiration shines on the devs I'm satisfied.

always the optimist uber?

cheers

[Demerzel]

just like I didn't get PtW, I'm 100% sure I won't get this new XP pack.

I agree with UberX, spending £15 or so on such a useless XP would be a total waste of my money
