I could have sworn that I saw an Icon that represented "patrol". Was I the only one to see this? It looked like an arrow twisted into a circle...

"Patrol" mean going to one tile and coming back to the starting tile, automatically and infinitely. Good to look at your borders.
Viking and Spanish
But no tercios, that's too bad.
Maybe the fireworks unit is the new Chinese UU, as Mongols aren't considered chinese anymore (I suppose they'll get rid of Gengis Khan and Khublai Lhan in the list of Chinese great leaders)
I suppose that the Keshik replace the swordsmen, but require horses. Or they are knights with a special ability. I don't hope so, because the world would be crowded with unique knights, but fairly homogenous units in other eras (well, maybe it's not a bad thing, because medieval era rocks bigtime)
Overall, we can feel the AOK influence.
Very nice snow covered graphic tile. Maybe they'll give support for seasons in the scenario editor
But else, it can mean your map represents a snow covered region of the world (say, you're making a scenario about Siberia)

The Koreans are in!
If you go to the link that Panag supplies above and download the screenshots.zip file from the E3 site, you'll see the mystery picture- the rocket firing wheel barrow is called a hwacha.
One quick Internet search later and hwacha = "fire cartwheel", Korean artillery from the 1400's.

Oh, Panag, your link above is interesting : we learn that Brennus will be a leader... He was the CELT chief who pillaged Rome. OK, now we know that the Mongols, the Spanish, the Carthaginians, the Vikings (Bergen / Trondheim are definitely Viking city-names, not Celt, except if Firaxis wanted to make a specific "Norwegian" civ just to piss off the Finns ), the Celts, and the Koreans. Who are the three left ?
Ah : "complete scenario support". At least, now we're sure.
Again, the link is :

Wow...GOOD WORK Hawaii-Five-O, the Koreans are in, break out the wine!
Here's the list of leaders they say "Genghis Khan Temujin, King Hannibal, Queen Isabella and King Brennus "
Well that settles the Isabella vs. Ferdinand debatehttp://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

If the Celts are in, the the Spainish have to be mediterranean, if Firaxis has even the remotest care of maintaining a semblance of Culutural balance
1. Celts led by King Brennus (Euros)
2. Vikings (Euros) UU Bezerker
3. Spain (mediterranean) UU Conquistador
4. Carthage (mediterranean) led by Hannibal (yay! no Dido!)
5. Mongols (Asia) led by Genghis Kahn UU Keshik
6. Koreans (asia) UU Asian ArtilleryLast edited by monkspider; May 20, 2002, 19:01.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

Another thing, the fact sheet tells "each Civilization features new units" Maybe they'll implement several specific units for the new Civs, like the expansion of AOK did : boat + chariots for the Koreans, specific priests + conquistadors for the Spanish, specific priests + jaguar warrios for the Aztecs.
Elimination and King of the Mountain : any idea of what it could be ?
Maybe elimination is a "cityless" Civ3 where you start with units only and must annihilate the units of your opponent(s)
Possibility to create scenarios in any era, including fantasy / future era (referred as "any time period, including those outside earth's history")
Sounds promising. I hope they learned from the original release of Civ3 though"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Maybe Firaxis will consider Brennus as the Viking leader, but that would be absolutely unhistorical, and will ruin the reputation of the game among the educators (but who cares about the educators
?)
Surprising that the cover box is centred on Korea, for such a Eurocentric exp."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Hmm, great link panag. Lets you see the screenshots much more clearly, and shows the leader animations for Isabella and Genghis Khan, though sadly they still look half doped up. Also the screenshot of the Vikings is larger, so its easier to zoom in and look at the new Berserk unit. Kinda odd though, wonder if they're going to rename it to Berserker."Every good communist should know political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." - Mao tse-TungComment

Yes, Panag, thanks for the link!
More digging on that site. The screenshots in the zip package are much clearer.
The Vikings UU is definitely called "Berserk".Comment
