No Life Uber Counts Things!

[Inverse Icarus]

counted city numbers from here

FRENCH :19
German??? : 7
[COLOR=sky blue]Americans???[/COLOR] : 27 (i counted the cities on southern tip as american... i THINK they are...)
Babylonian??? Zulu??? : 32
[COLOR=orange-red]English/British/blah???[/COLOR] : 34
Romans?? : 1

thats 120 cities in 1665 AD, and there appeears to be a little room left for colonization.

could a firaxxian confirm the size of this map?

[Skanky Burns]

LOL Any reason for counting them??

[Inverse Icarus]

just wanted to see how many cities on a map... if you look at the "southern tip" there seems to be a small string of closely knit cities... wish i know hoe far apart they were on the map

Interesting, good work Uber.

This is off topic, but I just felt like posting it somewhere. Has anyone noticed how off Chips and Bits' release date is? It lists October 1st as the date...2 days away...If only..

[KrazyHorse]

Firaxis is claiming Oct. 30th as release date.

[monkspider]

Wouldn't it be funny if Firaxis throws us a curveball and releases it in two days?

[KrazyHorse]

I'd laugh my ass off. Right off. This reminds me; is Uber going to attack the Firaxis offices due to a delay of less than a fortnight?

Ah, no wonder they've been silent. Defensive preparations .

UberKrux, just in case you were interested, there are (at least) 3 different map shots of that particular game.

An early one , showing military units (look like swordsmen, knights, etc)
From the Replay screen, the game as it was in 1330 AD.
And of course, the industrial ages screenshot that you first posted.

Its easiest to see the cities (and their colours) in the replay screen, and *most* of the cities on the southern tip
seem to be Roman although two are American.

And thanks, now you've got me counting cities in screenshots

In the picture you provided
If you look on the mini-map for the box that contains the current screen, it looks like they are about the same distance apart as the French

I was assuming you were talking about the Greman cities, but are you talking about the area with the Light Blue ?

Dan mentioned the maps in recent screenshots were 140 x 140. See his posts in this thread:

This thread reminds me, i think we need a yellow text color so that we can talk about the civs in a game actually using their colors...

[Mannamagnus]

BTW, why are the screenshots in 800x600 when the game is supposed to be in 1024x768?

When did Firaxis or Infogrames make any official announcement?
