I can tell just from glancing at these screens that almost every one of them has changed rather significantly since these were taken. Workers are a perfect example, as you no longer get ancient-era workers running around in the industrial era -- they change to a more "modernized" worker.

I'm happy to here that the worker graphics will change with time

Thank goodness, I was getting scared that the Engineer was being cut. I wouldn't be too thrilled seeing all my schoolwork go to waste because its no longer needed

Thanks Dan, any word on when Civ3.com will release some new screenshots?

Take a look at the first Scientific Advisor screenshot.

It looks like Advanced Flight has not two, but three prerequisite techs: Flight, Motorized Transportation, and Radio.

weird boundaries

if you look at http://bonusweb.cz/obrazek.html?obra...ion3_scr15.jpg the boundary north-west of the island really looks weird, what could be the cause?

[isaac brock]

i think the boundaries only extend so far as you can see

From what I'm seeing, it looks like boundaries only extend into oceans that are at a certain depth depending on (I guess) the culture level of the nearby city. So the tiles that are not within the boundary are too deep, thus the boundary assumes an odd shape by wrapping around the shallow ocean tiles but not the deeper ones.

I reckon that harbours extend the boundary over sea squares, and docks extend the boundary over the ocean squares.

If you look at the most Northerly city, its boundary extends over exactly the same kind of square that is untouched lower down.

Maybe its the same old worker-unit in newer clothes? Only a graphical change? I hope not - I want to be forced to upgrade to the more powerful up-to-date engineer-unit.

I have some problems with understanding the histograph... How do I see who's the best, it can be both the Chinese and the French! And if the Russians get stronger than the current best, how will that be showed without getting confusing!

[Sandman]

Who are those soldiers you get with advanced flight?

Not rocket-pack troops surely?

[Pggar]

Sandman I was just going to state the same question, and how about those under replaceable parts?

Nikolai i think the best civ has the larger area, at least that is how histographs work in other games.

[Inverse Icarus]

yea, theyre old shot that we never saw before... odd...

WHAT I SAW:

Chinese 1948 A.D. - has a hospital being built, and "Iron works"

Egyptian 840 A.D. - egyptian war chariot still wandering around while railroads are visible

Leaders Shot: who is the fat woman on the top left?

(i bet dan doesn't answer that )

[Col Bigspear]

I think that the Fat Woman is Catherine the Grt of Russia, but i'm not sure. Pfffffh I don't want to play as Russia anymore

(Though I thought it was Queen Victoria at first)

I see Bismark is the new German leader.
If Mao is in why can't they make a downloadable Hitler. I know it may piss people off, but I sure would like to see that stare at the diplomacy table . Ok Adolf you win, here's all my gold.
Or a Czar Nicolas II
