    Yeah, I agree with someone who said it here, it certainly does have a 'civ 1' feel about it which can only be a good thing (me being a long-time civ player, anything civ 1-ish gives me a nostalgia trip ). But it does look good, very good. It seems to be quite clear as well what is going on within the game without fancy graphics detracting from the gameplay.

      The game looks good but you see less area on the playing screen which may be an unavoidable trade-off for the higher resolution graphics. It was all taking place on a featureless plain though like the other screenshots. I'd like to see activity in forest, jungle and other terrain.

            How about the barbarians, if it really says " Numibian" what conclusions can we draw from this? Are there different barbarian tribes ? Would love to hear what you have to say about this.

              I think there were different barbarian tribes in Civ2 too, it's just that they were less obviously visible. In this game there will be barbarian cities, so I'm not surprised they've made them more obvious.

                Are you sure it doesn't say Numidian (i havent got the video downloaded yet). Numidia was a 'barbarian' territory in North Africa that fell under the rule of Carthage, but eventually achieved independance after the Second Punic War. Later it warred with Rome and lost its independance. So it seems likely to me that it's the Numidians they're talking about.

                Which would mean each barbarian village has a name, at a guess.

                  Guess your right...by the way does anyone know how large the maps will be in civ3? Would be great to play on an extremely large map with 12 civs or something like that.

                    Hey, this makes me feel stupid, but I can't seem to get any video playback. All I'm getting is sound on Windows Media Player, which sucks. I can't download any other player because of company restrictions. Am I screwed?

                      We will have to wait and see Wille. I would like to see that as well. It would be great to play many civilisations if the map is a decent size

                      It looks very slick, I wonder exactly how much longer and what they have left to do to it. I would hate it to go on like Duke Nukem Forever and be lingering around for years and years. Although I have a feeling that they will deliver, and hopefully not too far in the distant future.

                        No, there is another link on the page where you download the video from which says 'codec'. You need to download the zip file, extract it to a temporary directly, right-click on the *.inf file and select install. Then it should play the video...

                          I did all that, and I'm still not getting any video. On properties it says that the video codec is unknown, does that have anything to do with it?

                            Windows media Played didn't want to play the .avi for me either, but after downloading the 'codec' for div x, it worked. You have to run divx.inf (or exe) after you unzip the download. It was explained earlier in the thread.

                                Make sure you're using the lastest (or least version 7) Windows Media Player. Some things just won't play on the 6.x version.
