  • City Screen, hot or not?

    HOT.

    After searching through "THE LIST version 1/2" I couldnt find anything specific about what the general oppinion was about city screen.
    I definitly wants the city screen.
    A complete view over city, ex all unit (fortify , sleep, without orders etc.) production, food building. Surronding area.
    And the ability to change what there is to change in a city.

    Please dont make it like CtP with menus (which means endless clicking all the time).

    Im sorry if this has been discussed already, but I just want to make sure that it will stay like CivI.

    I like the city screen too, I hated the other way of doing it.

        Hot!
        AND with keyboard hot-keys. I played Civ I without a mouse. And (with exceptions) I had a much faster gameplay.
        (But I confess that changing entertainers with a keyboard was kind of dull) :P

        Oh yeah, I played Civ I on my old 8086 with no soundboard. But at least I had VGA graphics.

          Yes, one full screen with all the city stuff on it is much better than lots of separate menus in the corner of the main world map.
          To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

            I agree, stick with the same civ1/2 interface for the city screen.

              HOT!!! Nothing less than an updated version of the same interface they used in civ 1&2 which worked soooo well.
              I don't have much to say 'cause I won't be here long.

                Yep, 'HOT'. The city screen gets my vote of confidence. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
                A fact, spinning alone through infospace. Without help, it could be lost forever, because only THIS can turn it into a News.

                  City Screens ala Civ1, Civ2, SMAC definitely! But, add queues (like SMAC, CTP2, Space Empires IV, Moo2) and something like the national manager in CTP2 that allows you to insert/overwrite/append all queues at once is also a must have.

                        May be? surily there should be an option to turn it off, although I personally never turn off the unimportant-for-gameplay-but-nevertheless-nice features of the game like advisors, heralds and wonder movies. well... except in mp games.

                          It is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as we have all said before. I would like to see Firaxis make the city screen include everything to do with that city, units garriosinned, production, things produced, etc. etc. A city window that had everything to do with that city would be a much needed improvment over the City Mananger and City Build Manager in CtP2.
