MULTIPLAYER-SETUP (with CARTHAGINIANS)

So 4 of 8 fractions are already known now - nice.
I wonder if they really intended that

Interesting, thanks for the link.

If you look at the multiplayer page, you will see that Carthagenians are also a civ.

Viks' UU is the berserk(er?) What's more interesting to me in the 1st shot are the radar towers (those grey things I think) and the airstrips.

The Spanish UU is the Conquistador, 5/3/3,. but he's still researching feudalism? Hmm, what's up with that, I would expect it to replace knights (or come a little later), but if they don't have chivalry yet....

I've played w/ Snoopy's graphics for so long, I don't know if the graphics on page 2 are different, but they look strange to me.


Mongol's UU is the Keshik-4/2/2

I guess the other images are just civilopedia images? Not sure. If they are just of new units, then there is either a new artillery unit, or a UU artillery unit.

Oh, and it looks like MP will be limited to 8 players, not 16.

I'm sure there's other stuff in there that I'm missing.

The Mongol is researching Monotheism.

5.3.3! I guess the Spanish can do some conquering.

It seems to be a new tileset.

I just looked over at Civfan, and Jeff said that they cheated to put the units in, so the fact that the Span's have conquistadors before feudalism is probably due to cheating.

[Grrr]

Nice
\me takes a look.

As it stands now, Monotheism is a pre-req for Chivalry.

And 5.3.3 blows any other UU away.

It's a shame we don't get to see the Viking special unit yet. I'd like to see what it is. Still seeing those nice close-ups of the Conquistador and the Keshik is good.

[Grrr]

What's that thing on the hill in the first image?
Snow Hills/Mountains . And are they snowed under forests?
Conquistadors
What are the big images of the units for
Those buttons on the 5th image look interesting .
Multiplayer - What's the big tick next to Bearman

Civ Specific Abilities? .

[ChaotikVisions]

hmm

Can anyone tell what those icons are in the Spanish/Mongol screenshots? I see 3 on the right end I can't quite place. And this is looking good, Trondheim being a city has to mean Vikings, heh. Wonder what unit the Conquistador replaces though.

Edit-Grrr: I think the things on the hill in the first screenshot are radar towers, at leas thats what it reminds me of. That screenshot also shows the airbases, can't wait for the XP to come out.

[Grrr]

The first looks like a city selector.
The second seems to me like one of those stacked map things we had in Civ II .
The third seems to me to be a stack unit kind of thingy.

[Grrr]

Say is that a Kershak thingy on a mountain

[Grrr]

2110BC? It seems they've added more turns .

[Grrr]

In the MP setup page, WTF is 15995156? (Above the rules).

[ChaotikVisions]

hrmm

Hmm, I just noticed the icons on the far right, I meant the ones in the middle for the unit, what are those three on the end of the unit icons? And i've got no idea what that number is, the current version they're testing maybe?
