    So now we know that the Knights Templar and the Statue of Zeus wonders are not scenario specific and will be in the main game, as well as the stealth attack and enslavement abilities !

    Q: Are features from the Conquest scenarios available in the main game?
    A: Since the Conquests are self-contained, many technologies, units, civilizations, and other features can be found only in a specific Conquest. For instance, the Sengoku Conquest features many Japanese structures, technologies, and other cultural icons specific to that time and place. That said, many features created for the Conquests were brought over to the Epic Game. Examples include abilities such as enslavement and stealth attacks, wonders such as the Knights Templar and the Statue of Zeus, and the unique units for each of the new civilizations.

      yes!!!

      it would be a waste of programming some of these great features just for one scenario.

      i'm sure all the mod-makers around will bring up some more good ideas with this

      - Atheism is a nonprophet organization.

        and to add:
        i also hope the feudal-japan-scenario-functions are included in the main game too.

        this progress of single units (daimiyos iirc) opens up a whole new world

          The Pikeman we've seen in the previews is called a "Swiss Mercenary"and is probably the Dutch UU or otherwise a unit for one of the conquests.
          I am so I think!

            It is probably a unit for the medieval scenario (my guess).

              There is a normal tech tree in the background of the statue screenshot, and the unit name is very generic. I bet it is a new core game unit

                I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but I didn't see it until now, so here it comes:

                In the developers update from civ3.com, the "The Making of 'Sengoku - Sword of the Shogun'" article contains several screenshots, including one that shows several items from a build-queue.

                City improvements:

                - Temple
                - Archives (Library?)
                - Local magistrate (courthouse?)
                - Noh-Kyogen Theatre (Colloseum?)
                - Fief establishment (I have no idea what this is)

                Units:

                - Swordsman: 2-2-1 (30 shields)
                - Samurai spearman: 4-7-1 (50 shields)
                - Siege Crossbow: 0(5)-0-1 (50 shields)
                - Samurai Archer: 6(2)-3-1 (archer with bombard ability !!!) (40 shields)

                Once again, these are specific to the 'Sengoku - Sword of the Shogun' japanese scenario. (except for the temple, that is).

                It is interesting that the swordsman is 2-2-1. I wonder if this is only for this scenario??

                    • update initial post? I was confused when I read it after glancing through the screenshots at civ3.com, especially as far as available conquest scenarios are concerned. good work anyway

                          I hate to be nitpicky, and I know it is a little hard to read from the screenshot, but that should probably be Noh, not Non. Noh is a form of Japanese theatre.

                          • Yeah, sure, it's Noh. I knew about Noh, but I've never heard of Kyogen, so that probably confused me.

                            • Thanks guys for the update. I don't have much time these days, but I just updated the first post

                              Because of some heavy workload, I'll ask Ming to ban me from Apolyton for a short while. I don't know if I can still edit my posts while banned. ANyhow, if you want to include anything in the first post, please just write it here in a "first post" kind of way, and I'll copy/paste it in
