14 new SCREENSHOTS

No new Governments I guess

Everything looks great to me. Ragnar Lodbrok as Viking leader is a surprising choice, but a good one. He was, of course, the greatest of the sea-kings, a Norwegian who conquered Denmark, Sweden, Paris, and died a'raidin' in Northumbria.

I take it from the last screenshot that the Viking UU will be capable of anphibious assaults. Pretty big advantage to give to an early UU -- but maybe that's its only advantage.

Probably because of the attack/defence advantage that it gives you. Firaxis most likely wanted to try and limit their use.

The ninja guy might be for the Feudal Japan set mentioned.

The radar tower could be manned by your worker; sounds reasonable anyway. Also, the radar tower one looks like one of their mock up games from around E3.

Firaxis, I need a picture of Hannibal for my leaders thread! We have pictures of everyone but him now.

Anyways, JohnM2433, I believe that in the IGN preview it was said that the Berserker is a Longbowman with upgraded defense, attack, plus amphibious.

And why is the Internet represented by a giant black monolith? I know it's hard to represent something like that with a solid building in the city view, but still.

The pictures and other Firaxis info released call it a Berserk.

Civ 3 Official Site has updated their screenshots and preview page, Finally.

I said in another thread that amphib assault that early in the game, with no railroads and fewer defenders per city is a huge ass advantage. I know what civ I'm playing when I take home PTW.

It's quite "refreshing" to see all those dirty barbarian faces as new leaders, joining the already 16 more "civilized"

MM, Ghengis looks disproportionately barbarian.

Queen Isabella, however, aint looking too bad. I just wish we could see a little leg though...

[Dinner]

No new governments and no new techs.

If MP is stable and works correctly it still might be worth buying but I will have to get feed back from here at poly before I fork over any cash. Once burned is twice learned...

Yeah and I'm really "anxious" to see the design of his modern suit....as well as Brennus's modern "facelift".....

Yeah, both of those would have been very welcomed improvements (for me at least). Im sure as soon as PTW comes out though there will be plenty of gov and tech mods. I just wished they had been included....

Yup and I also like Jeanne d'Arc (of course before she gets to the modern area). I wish we could see more of both of them would give the game a whole new dimension: wohoo.
