Which Conquest you are most looking forward to?

[Panag]

hi ,

the middle ages look to be well build

aldo that new tech tree looks a bit empty , ....

have a nice day

[WarpStorm]

Panag, this scenario (like most of them) is shorter than the 540 turn epic game. You don't need as big of a tech tree if the game is shorter.

Minor art quibble

Granted, this isn't very important, but take a look at the icon for the technology 'Mining'. It looks like they've got the 'Military Tradition' icon there. That seems a little weird, since the author of the scenario came up with new icons for the other new techs. A new 'Mining' tech also occurs in the Mesopotamia scenario, and I wonder if there's something buggy with it. We could just be looking at place-holder art, though.

Besides, the Relic system (10,000 points when you bring a Relic at Jerusalem) is an excellent way to add more thrill to the conquest.

does the AI understand this as well? or is it just a human-player-only way of assuring victory?

[Saint Marcus]

anyhoo, I'll play all scenarios most likely. though I'm not that interested in playing the Japanese one since I don't much care for it's setting. Pre-modern Japan is one of the few areas in history I really don't care much about.

1. Age of Discovery
2. Middle Ages
3. Fall of Rome
4. Rise of Rome
5. Napoleon
6. Meso America
7. WW2
8. Mesopotamia
9. Japan

I. Napoléonic Europe
II. Rise of Rome
III. Fall of Rome

1. Napoleanic Wars (although I haven't heard much about it)

Definitely place-holder art. I remember back in October 2001, a mere month before Civ3 came out, screenshots showed that all improvements in the building city-list had the icon of the police station.
And Civ3 was already gone gold at that point.

WWII in the Pacific. I am very curious to see what a massive air and naval attack from the AI looks like.

[Slax]

I seem to recall a beta-tester hinting that one of the scenerios was very short, and more like a tutorial. I hope this doesn't mean many of us will be disappointed that one of our favorite eras is poorly re-created.

On the other hand, like everyone says (way too often), "There's always the editor".

Really Panag? I'm fascinated to know how you're so certain of this.

Slax- I don't think any of the eras were poorly re-created, and I'm a bit of a history junkie.

Firaxis said in a chat that the AI understands the rules and will operate with them in mind. That also means attacking your units as you attempt to bring a "relic" back.

How very interesting. ::shrug:: Okay.
