What a coincidence.

This thread's number is the same as the article's article number

Berserk - that one has a scary axe! Nice radars & airfields, BTW.

Conquistador - damnit if it replaces Knights! We already have too much Knight replacements, and 5-3-3 is overpowered.

Second screenshot, besides revealing the snow and Conquistador, has two new order icons. One surely is Patrol, another could be Sentry... and also, a few icons above the status window... stack related?

Keshak... what the heck is it? Too early for a Knight, but too powerful to replace the Horseman.

Multiplayer... here it is... Capture the Flag, Elimination and Regicide games CAN be played in standard mode, that is, without that turnless thing!

Sadly nothing on the scenario editor yet.
I had expected to be able to choose your own scenario in the MP setup dialog.

Vikings in. YES!!!!!!

Seems to me that the graphics have been given a real work-over too. Cool.

Actually, that Oriental rocket launching thing might be a special unit from the Japanese unit set.
Either that or there are Koreans in the game and they get rocket artillery as a UU. I though that strange (an artillery UU) but the Americans do have the F-15, which is pretty much the same thing.

**Grrr** · May 20, 2002, 16:02

Indeed it may be from the Japanese unitset. That would explain it a little better.

Did anyone yet notice that the Carthaginians appear in the Multiplayer Setup?

**Solver** · May 20, 2002, 16:09

I did, and I think there could be a worthier Civ.

**JtheJackal** · May 20, 2002, 16:17

I wonder why the viking's don't have the longboat as a UU.

It is barely readable, but judging from what some Viking towns are building, the name of the special Viking unit might be "Bezerk".

Exactly my opinion. I also would have created a modified galley that can cross the oceans... an early oceancrosser would have given the Vikings an advantage in return for having to start in an unfriendly landscape.

Ah nice, a no goody huts option. I'm curious as to what the 'game mode' is meant for - I assume this is for capture the flag, etc? One thing I didn't see is a double production/moves option or something similar (a quick mode, but not a scenario like CTF or Regicide), I hope they include that... Nevertheless so far things look a lot more well polished than the first civ3. Although I'm not getting my hopes up until release, so far I'm impressed.

**GodKing** · May 20, 2002, 16:42

I'm getting excited......

**ACooper** · May 20, 2002, 16:44

I just hope we don't need to wait until christmas.

**ACooper** · May 20, 2002, 16:47

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question but, why does the conquistador have a dog with it?

**DrFell** · May 20, 2002, 16:51

I'd rather wait till Christmas to get a perfect game, although it would be nice if it was out earlier (as long as this in no way or virtually no way compromises the game).
