[St Leo]

I also dont like the word Panzer Tank. But well I already said I would like to see some Tigers, Panthers, Leopards, Abrams,...

All tanks look the same.

Ok, now if we go making loads of different tanks, we'll have millions of different units because we'd have every model of everything! Let's stay general!

[Dom Pedro II]

I am impressed with this graphics, but there is a dark storm that looms in the back of my mind. These pics look great, but they also look some what permanent. I fear customization may be in jeopardy. If I can't make my own units easily, I will be very upset.

Umm, sorry to bit*h off on you like this, but is your english really that bad, or are you just trying to mess with our heads?

And who gives a damn what tanks Firaxis puts in the game and what they choose to call them? If you don't like what you get in the box, just customize the hell out of them and life will be rosy. That is, if we get any customization options...

[Imran Siddiqui]

Damn... seems like I've walked into the fatalist convention here...

Why don't we give the benefit of the doubt to Sid and assume there will be customization PLUS in the game?

[MacUser]

Woo Hoo! Cool pics!

Hmm, your probably right. Firaxis is yet to turn out a bad game.

The above is by Sid Meier.

-Yes, I know that Sid is the gaming god, but I do not quite trust this; they are making a new interface- Civ II's was fine. and new graphics- I have already voiced my opinions about this.

The new interface, It would be nice of Sid to give us a alpha copy screenshot of it for us to comment on.

I dont know about that!! Look at how many people are getting all worked up about about 3 unit concept drawings!! Imagine how many people will end up overreacting if they see an alpha concept drawing of the interface.

LOL!

[supremus]

Very promising at a first glance! Go ahead Firaxis!

[Depp]

SMACX was pretty bad, the playbalancing was really poor. But it wasn´t a game really, so they are still safe

[My Wife Hates CIV]

yeah well fancy graphics do not a great game make.

how many titles are collecting dust at my house because the game was destroyed due to fancy graphics. to hell with game play as long as that unit looks good.

CTP and TOT are very poor games (the graphics killed both of them IMHO).

we'll see...

[Chaos Warrior]

the rifleman looks gay. he's dressed like an aristocrat, soldiers are dirty and dusty

the tank looks like a humanitarian aid convoy

the phalanx' shield is covered with a silly face, I hate it

the units themselves look OK, but the details, the details

and then, won't we get a unit model as in SMAC? I HATE static unit models, me want SMAC model

[Deathwalker]

I like the units, but the rifleman looks like a musketeer?
