      The units still have attack, defense and move values but the concept of firepower is gone now. Units have hit points, 3 at the basic level, 4 as veterans and 5 as elites.
      Looking at the review it doesnt have much more new cool info exept for screens and the above.

        I gather 1.3.1 is adm. And one of the first 3's is hitpoints. Whats that other mess?
        Regular is veterancy level? (Regular/Veteran/Elite/Gr.Leader
        3/3 is health
        1.3.1/1 (Attack.Defense.MovePoints/MovePointsRemaining)

        Sound close?

          My stream-of-consciousness thoughts on various screens:

          "Armies at the gates" http://pcmedia.ign.com/media/preview...e/aciv3025.jpg
          Nice, another army shot. Hey, anyone else notice that it is 1940 AD and the army consists of Legions!? Huh? Most of the shots contain Cavalry as the strongest unit... is this some ssssslllllooooowwww tech research or what?

          "Simple menus" http://pcmedia.ign.com/media/preview...e/aciv3010.jpg
          To answer someone's question, that "3/3" after "Wake Regular" is most likely Hit Points Remaining/Total Hit Points. Just guessing.

          VERY cool - finish what you're doing and then build whatever is needed for growth. Yummy!

          Notice one of the captured units is a barbarian? Cool! And unit upgrades can be performed right from the advisor screen. More coolness! As long as we have a larger world map in this pic, those continents look outstanding.

          THE PANZER!!!

          Alright - I'm ready for the 31st. BRING IT ON!

            That must be to balance the taking out of firepower stats in Civ2. Also, possible attack and defense strengths were similarly scaled in SMAC between early and late-game units

              I wonder what the most powerful ground unit will be? Panzer?

                I think that there is a pretty good amount of new info, however it's dealing more with game specifics that we were unsure of, rather then broader game info we already knew.

                  Take a look at what the science advisor is saying:

                  "The steam engine and other machines are changing our society dramatically. Our scientists and entrepreneurs want industrialization to increase our production"


                  Nice!

                    • For those of you saying that the F-15 will never be obsolete, well heres the proof.

                      Its says that the F-15 replaces the basic Jet Fighter. Which meanst that stealth bomberes/fighters will replace the F-15

                            DOn't think so. The Modern Armor replaces the Panzer.

                              No problem...any new info for Civ3 junkies everywhere is a good thing

                              Nice catch on the barbarians. Does this mean that barbarian encampments will grow and build terrain improvements? Exciting possibility.



                              PS-I'm watching JPL live and the Mars Odyssey is in orbit and okay. to NASA.

                                Sounds good to me. What do you mean by "Regular is veterancy level"? afaik regular=3hp, veteren=4hp, elite=5hp for all units.
