i find it appauling that they wasted a screenshot on a dinosaur.
and that mountain / ruins pic does nothing but prove the ottomans are in, and shows what appears to be a regicide style king.
the scenario loader is decent i suppose. shoulda came with regular civ3 though..."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

Dinosaur, whatever.
Top right: That looks way nasty, and why are there destroyed cities (I think) in 4000 BC?
Bottom right: Cool, but let's watch the spelling.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

I'm doubting the Arabs are in at all now. The Ottomans seem to have the Arab influence. Hope I am mistaken. Even their leader head that we have previously seen could represent the ottomans.Comment

This screenshot also seems to indicate that that the leader of the Ottomans may be Osman. Firaxis did mention something about King units didn't they? If Osman is the leader of the Ottomans, what do you guys think? He is the founder of the Ottoman Empire, but I think that I might prefer Suleyman.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

Yeah, we still don't know what the civs are, but Ottomans are, IMO, a clue that no Arabs are included.Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

Nice shots. Has anyone an idea what the new icons mean (above the infobox that shows the sultan)? I know they were also on the first PTW screens, but has Firaxis revealed their function?BlahComment

I hope the dinosaur belong to another game that get posted here by mistake. I wonder if they'll include liches and butterflies (ADM 0-0-0, but wouldn't be cool?), maybe in a WWII scenario

Firaxis has said that they may include dinosaur units in PTW. I'm sure that they aren't in the standard game, just for mods. They probably recycled some artwork from Sid's abortive dinosaur game (all Firaxis games use the same artwork formats .pcx and .flc).Seemingly Benign

i just hope they get game-play-issues first. i don't like reading, that diplomacy settings for scenarios and events are (only) on the wishlist, but dinosaur sprites and 3D-meshes have been created already... somehow imnsho they havn't got priorities right
but then, otoh, you've got to give the artists some work too

The spelling on the scenario example is certainly disturbing, but so is the minimap. There are a lot of scenarios where knowledge of the map layout is a major spoiler.Comment

I'd imagine art and gameplay are being worked on by seperate groups.Comment
