I've got a run down of stuff from screenies in the 'preview' thread.

hi ,

wow , this is great news , the dutch are in

more info at the link in sig

have a nice day

**Chilean President™** · July 9, 2003, 21:07

Yes the dutch are in there.

But there are more great news; tropical birds, stone, llamas are new resources.

There are ritual sacrifices and slaves.

Commonwealth alliances

My run down in the 'preview' thread has a good list of everything from screens. Yet, I don't see where the Dutch figure in.

Jade is indeed a resource, same with exotic birds.

As for the Mesoamerican scenario, that has llamas and maize also as resources.

Hi Guys,

Just noticed two new Civ types-Agricultural and Seafaring!!!! Also, Scientific leaders will be in!! These were things raised quite often both here, and over at CfC!!! So, I guess we can say that, from this info alone, the Firaxis people are DEFINITELY listening to us!!
Oh, btw, I hope the ritual sacrifice and slavery thing, from the Mesoamerica scenario, can be utilized for the standard Game, through the editor!!!

Yours,
The_Aussie_Lurker

**History Guy** · July 9, 2003, 21:27

Agricultural and Seafaring? Is this only for scenarios?

**Chilean President™** · July 9, 2003, 21:32

I don't think so, probably for every civ.

**History Guy** · July 9, 2003, 21:36

Yes, I see it now. All the civs have been reconfigured. I suspect that the Vikings are now Seafaring/Militaristic, for example. The Incans may be Expansionist/Agricultural.

**Chilean President™** · July 9, 2003, 21:41

the Incas also could be Seafaring/Agricultural... well I like the Terrace Farming advance

**History Guy** · July 9, 2003, 21:48

Incas? Seafaring? I wouldn't count on it!

**The_Aussie_Lurker** · July 9, 2003, 22:08

Actually, I remember suggesting other great leaders, for those who don't want to be warmongers. My suggestion was for Great scientists, great diplomats, great Religious leaders, great Merchants and great industrialists!! Maybe the mention of Great Scientists might mean that some of the other great leaders I mentioned above will also be in the game!!!! Fingers Crossed!
Seafaring and Agricultural Civs were also mentioned here, and it seems like they DID pay attention

. Hopefully they also payed attention to our requests for changes to trade and embargoes (like CtP-style 'trade routes') commodity trading (food and production shields!!) and unit trading, and Diplomacy and the UN!!! Also, the existence of all these new ages for scenarios might indicate an ability to add/delete ages through the editor!! Of course, all of this is speculation, at best!! All of the beta-testers amongst us, of course, know whats in and whats not, and they are probably having quite a giggle at some of our wilder speculations!!! Don't worry though, guys, I'm sure we all FORGIVE you

.

Yours,
The_Aussie_Lurker.

Looking at Pang's post, I am going to be ready for this puppy.
Thanks for the pictures.

**Jon Shafer** · July 9, 2003, 23:06

Remember everyone, BreakAway is doing this game. Only 1 guy from Firaxis has anything to do with it.

P.S. Agricultural and Seafaring rock.
