[Stuie]

They finally posted the preview from their last print issue. Nothing that hasn't been reported..........

I suppose this is of interest; we actually get a look at an editor screen:

This editor screen is yummy!!!

Wonder what kind of anarchy some of this mad, oh, I mean creative persons in this community will do with that!

Imagine: an anarchy where you get huge bonuses in, let's say science, high war weariness, and, and!

[Jason Beaudoin]

Cool editor! Wow! I'm really surprised how it looks. I would have thought they'd use the game art in the menu. Very nice!

[Nikolai]

In the editor I can see "Great person mood modifiers". The first I was thinking was that this had to be this great learder thing, but the text under is about scientists, artistas and tycoons, and not military leaders!

So my guess is that this is the changable citizens, with tycoons as the new taxcollectors! Am I right?

Any thoughts on this screen? The roads, especially:

You know what Dan would say: "That's an old screenshot." I've seen more recent shots in which the roads are actually drawn behind the mountains and railroads don't end in the middle of nowhere.

The road ARE behind the mountains in this shot...and if this is STILL an old screen being shown at PREVIEW time, well...

Markos: The cirularity of the railroads in particular seems odd.

Anway, the editor looks to be outstanding so far.

[Nikolai]

I like the roads!
And the forests are good too!

BTW: the animal near the middle; is that a cow? I would think it was a horse, but it looks like a cow...

cgonline.com is merely posting their print preview article from two months ago. The screens are NOT from the gold build; they are from the original article.

And the roads are behind the mountains - mea culpa.

[yin26]

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thanks. Still I repeat in case Dan is reading: Please release screenshots to these mags ONLY with time stamps on them.

[Nikolai]

Look, at last I'm a Prince!

Well, well, back to topic:

Look at this picture: the workers! Look how they are swinging the hoe(right word? )!



And: here we hav etwo kinds of forests!? I can't remember two of them? Am I remembering wrong?

[Gramphos]

I would say that this screen confirms coal as a strategic resource. Therefor I have to edit my list.

Those screenshots are really old. The forests no longer look like that and the harbor icons are completely different... among other things. Note the lack of the city name label bars underneath the cities. Railroads certainly do not end in the middle of nowhere (that was a bug at one time but it's been fixed...).

The editor screenshot is also old. It looks basically the same but a lot of the terminology has been changed and some items have been added/removed. The Great Persons Mood Modifiers are not referring to the citizens. This was a concept we were toying with that has since been removed.
