    Well,it all looks fairly familiar.Some new stuff and some changes to existing stuff.Early government looks interesting.
    I see Warrior Code,Burial,Mysticism and Polytheism as the pre reqs for Monarchy and Alpha,Writing and Laws as the pre reqs for Republic.
    Feudalism is needed for Invention and Physics is now needed for Gravity

    Industrial age looks very similiar but I don't know what Nationalism does.Amphibious Warfare looks like it will be as useful(not much) as it is in Civ2.Maybe even less.

    Is Wheel before Horseback Riding?

    Will you have to do every tech in each period before you can "move" on?

    I got a feeling this ain't final.

Does this mean that we can now research two things at once?
      its a research queue. they are both green because one is being researched after the other.

        Under Motored Transportation there appears to be a tank then under a more advanced tech (Computers) there appears to be another tank. This means that there are two tanks in the game, one old and one new.
        However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

            Has anybody noticed that, while all units seem to be on white background and buildings and most wonders on green, on the most modern technologies of Space Flight, Synthetic Fibers, Superconductor, Satellites and The Laser there are in all ten similar-looking objects on blue background... I am wondering whether these could be space improvements and spaceship parts or something of the sort? The look of the tiny graphics would suggest that as well.

              Actually I did read your post Uber, I guess I just missed the first line of something. Sorry.

              I was referring to the comment Eli made about satellites. Were you to lazy to read that post?

                  If Ribannah's math is correct (I trust it - I don't have that many fingers) there are 6 less techs than in Civ2. Aren't there supposed to be more in III than II?

                  Unless, of course, this is an incomplete listing of the tech tree.

                    i think we're all missing a key factor here...

                    HOW DID SNAPCASE RECIEVE THE PICTURES?

                    the answer?

                    oh ho ho.

                      Seems the whole game is leaning towards the "quality instead of quantity" concept.

                          Quality over quality is good...

                          Yeah, but I remember that it was mentioned that there is going to be a bigger tech tree in Civ3... or did I dream that?

                          Oh and it looks like there are only 5 gov'ts, Fundy gone... unless Nationalism is a Gov't, but I though it had been decided that it is just a tech.

                          Yikes, I am sounding like a whiner!

                            It looks suspiciously complete. As I understand it, no links are shown between different eras because you need full knowledge of one era to begin with the next one.

                              Nationalism is a government taking the place of Fundamentalism.
                              And I know these shots are not necessarily from an actual game, Republic has not yet been discovered from the Ancient tech tree, but the Middle Age tech tree has already begun being researched.
