    Speculate about that one until I can cut up the other screenshot into pieces displaying individual units in high res.

      Tanks


      Confirmed: Panzer Tank (German special unit)


      Confirmed: Abrams Tank


      My guess: er, a tank. You tank historians will have to help in identifying this one.


      My guess: again, a tank. You tank historians will have to help in identifying this one.

      That's all folks! No more units.

        The tank on the right hand side is some sort of early WW@ tank. My guess would be the French Hotchkiss H35. The other one on the left could be some sort of early WW2 british tank ( a 10 or mk2 ) Im not too sure about this one though

          Thanks very much Snapcase for all you have done to bring these screenshots and units to us. You sure went beyond the call of duty!

            My guess would be that this is Aztec special unit. In that case,



            Would be most probably Babylonian or Egyptian unit. (Guard or something.)

              My guess is that the tank in the lower left hand corner is the American "Bradley" light tank.

                The second frigate should be either a carrack or a caravel.

                I believe that the tank on the bottom left is a Soviet design, possibly a T-55 or a T-34 (I'm not that great with tanks)

                    Lets see,
                    (1) the viking longship really looks like the longship from CtP 1&2
                    (2)the galleon looks like the ship of the line from CtP 1&2
                    (3)the catapult looks just like the catapult from CtP2

                    Alright! I always wished I'd have a version of CtP2 that would work . . .

                      Oh yeah, I think you have the cruiser and aegis cruiser reversed.

                        May be I´m completely wrong, but doesn´t the "tank" at the bottom left look like a modern M2/M3 APC?

                        BTW, I like most of the units, but not the chariot. The civ2 chariot came completely without horses, ToT and the new Civ3 with one horse, a bit better, but most ancient chariots had two horse (or even more). It´s just a detail, but since the other units look right, why not the chariot?

                          I think that the tank on the bottom left is an APC (armored personnel carrier). If you look at the tanks gun, its thin, indicating that its a machine gun. Only APC's have turrets with only a machine gun on them. The tanks torso is also to tall to be a regular tank. Most tanks are built shorter as to offer a lower profile for the enemy to shoot at. Only APC's have such a tall body, nessary for carrying troops. If my guess is right, I wonder if this means this is some sort of land tarnsport. Will it opperate like a normal unit or will it be able to carry infintry?

                          P.S. Thanks, Snapcase!

                            Nice one, Snapcase!

                            I wouldn't have the slightest idea about most of the units, but I think many of them look quite fancy... that screenshot I have seen recently had some bad touch though...

                              The tank in the Bottom Left hand corner is a Sherman tank, I am pretty sure because it stood out to me because we learned about tanks in History class.
