The viking bloke looks like a Dwarf from LOTRSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

actually I thought of something similar on my own:
Regarding the from of his head he must have some dwarfen relatives. Well actually I'm a little bit confused about this strange guy on the right in the 4th row. What’s this? A ninja? He looks like an arabic terrorist regarding this strange hood he wear. Whatever he may be he isn't a ninja definitely.Dance to Trance

Why not? Maybe for a medieval japanese scenario ...Originally posted by Galvatron
Whatever he may be he isn't a ninja definitely.
But he may be an arab assassin, too.

Hey!! That map with Carthage and part of Sicily on it actually looks reasonably accurate (the shot right above the weird ninja dude). Guess I can hold out hope for creating a decent ancient Rome scenario...."Stuie has the right idea" - Japher

I thought Arab Assassin too. The only other time I have seen them in a Civ-related game was the Civ2 Expansion Pack (Crusades or Jihad scenario, forget which one).
Has anyone noticed that the watchtower/radartower/whatever it's called has a line of sight reaching 4 tiles for the mountain one and 2 tiles for the normal ground one? I assume that means that either planes have been scouting or you can get a really good view into what is going on with some strategic placement on mountains/hills.
And there's nothing I like more than to watch opposing Civs battle against each other in wars 'm not involved in!

Yeah, that does look like a good mediteranean map, I hadn't even noticed actually till you mentioned it Stuie. Perhaps Firaxis has made agood scenario themselves.
Also, what is the Internet monument supposed to be?You sunk my Scrableship!Comment

Looks like we have the default names, I guess for the new civ leaders. Interesting----

I concerned about the Radar Tower too - because of a major inconsistancy.
According to the Civlopedia entry: "To construct a Radio Tower (I believe this is a typo - should be Radar Tower), move a worker to any land tile within your territory and select "build Radar Tower." This is all well and good. However, take a look at the second to last screen shot.
I count 5 Radar Towers that are built outside of the player's borders! So Firaxis, how will these towers REALLY work?

And it consumes your worker too, that kinda blows, unless Im misunderstanding, but why would a worker be consumed into a radar tower?
I noticed another tower, look like a look-out tower for ancient times, whats that all about? only 2 tiles visible beyond yer culture border?Comment

Yes, it is my impression that the Radar Tower gives the host civilization a offensive/defensive unit bonus for units within 2 tile radius of the tower.
The Look-out/Watch Tower pushes back the fog of war by a 2 tile radius of the tower.
I wonder if we'll be able to increase the Watch Tower's radius in the editor...IMO, the Watch Tower should have a 3 or 4 tile radius.

I seem to remember reading that the watch tower was more effective on hills and even more effective on mountains.Seemingly Benign
