Trip,

There are at least four guys from Firaxis working on it - including the artist.

The programming, designing (including decisions on what and what not to add) and most "everyday work" is done by BreakAway.

That diplomacy screen with the Dutch in it is for the World War Two scenerio. The diplomacy image looks like Ceaser. If it is ceaser then that probably means the Dutch aren't really in, except in that scenerio.

The preview for the WWII scenario doesn't have the artwork it will have when it is realesed it was a mistake that that showed up

One of my great hopes is that, if the mechanics for a certain 'ability' exist within a scenario, then it will also, hopefully, turn up within the editor!! This is certainly what I hope for with both Slaves and Human Sacrifice!!!!
What would be better still is if unit trading is in, as well, 'cause then you can engage in a 'slave trade'!!! What I also hope for (in addition to what I mentioned above), are building dependant units, building dependant resources and resource dependant techs!!! Also, units and buildings whose effects can be countermanded by imporvements and wonders built with the discovery of new techs!!

hi ,

about what screenshot are we talking here , ........

have a nice day

They're referring to the Diplomacy screen from the WWII scenario, showing all of the Civ relationships. The reason why they felt it shouldn't have been shown is that all of the leaderheads are clearly just 'place-holder graphics'-like Liz for the Commonwealth!! I guess, though, that it was a good example of the 'locked alliance', so it should have been shown, in my opinion.

Hi Panag,

Yes, I've seen the screenshots (and they look INCREDIBLE!!!) What I was saying was that there was, in my opinion, nothing wrong with showing that particular screenshot in the preview-'cause it did convey useful information to the reader!!
Sorry if my poor use of English confused you but, hey, what do you expect-I am an AUSTRALIAN . After all, we massacre the English language ALMOST as much as the American's can .

Looks like the WWII scenario is Pacific. We'll have to mod our own Euro WWII (or even world WWII).

And Fascism is Back! Also mentioned is the "return" of the "feudal" government type. But I don't recall this ever being a Civ government type. CTP maybe?

Excellent news in the latest preview.

My excitement level for Conquests has just been upgraded from to

[sabrewolf]

i really like some ideas built in the scenarios (enslaving, units gaining abilities, etc.)

but i REALLY hope these options are also usable for custom units and scenarios! it would be a shame to have such great features, but lock it for the rest it for the rest of the game...
PLEASE FIRAXIS, don't do that

otherwise it looks a lot better than PTW. and because i'm just SP player, there's a lot more new stuff here than in PTW.
however. new units and resources, general scenarios, new civs, etc. isn't too special, because the community has come up with some good things too.

what makes it worth buying are the really new things (incl. the things first mentioned and volcanos, swamp (don't forget to make worker actions more customizable!), etc.

i'm really looking forward to this one!!!

[sabrewolf]

is there actually going to be another patch before conquests?
