I gotta say that I am really liking the graphics.

Cool! The trees look like "real" trees!

Also it's good to finally see that a unit has more than one person in it.

But lets face it that nothing really changed. The terrain is similar. The way the units seem to fall into combat also seems the same.

I hope the finished product will be more evolved.

I hope they make it so the mountains meld into mountain ranges if they're next to each other. Loads of single mountains doesn't look right...

It sounds worse and worse. Alright, I can hope that the moden graphics won't be a problem, but what's up with "faster paced gameplay"? Sounds like they're dumbing the game down and making it more mainstream, which basically was everyone's main complaint with Civ3. I'm trying to stay positive, but Civ4 sounds more and more like a EE2 style game intended for good multiplayer and relatively mainstream.

I don't like the sound of that either

Well, faster paced game play could easily be done in some instances in ways that increase fun.

Allowing 100% of excess beakers to count towards the next tech would speed up the game by eleminating the slider tweaking.
The elimination of wack-a-mole polution should speed up the industrial and modern eras.
Eliminating the AI constant exploration along rails would speed up the AI turns during the industrial and modern era.

I concur with joncunn, streamlined gameplay doesn't automatically mean dumber gameplay and limited tactical options. If the game is easy to play, the gameplay will also be fast.

The graphics do look far better than in the previous screenshots, but they're still not that good yet. At any rate, though, thanks for the screenshot, Sn00py.


joncnunn, I believe it has been noted that the turns will be decreased from 550 (?) to 400 in Civ4, so in that case the idea of faster gameplay doesn't seem to be beneficial for those looking for more strategy. Your examples of how faster gameplay is better are certainly valid, but I'm not sure if that's what Solver was implying.

To me, faster paced gameplay sounds like it might mean no more mid-game tedium, and that can only be a good thing

Oh, this image is copyrighted, so if better save it to your harddisk if you want to keep it, only a matter of time before it gets deleted... (No, I don't like it either but we don't want to get in trouble.)

TechWins, there will be also different game speeds, like Fast, Medium and Epic.

I'm not sure if I see enough there to make a judgement. I care more about gameplay issues versus graphics... It just looks like zoomed in Civ3 graphics.

Speaking of which, I hope we get more than 2 view settings in cIV

Anyway, thanks Sn00py.

Not sure if I like what the units look like. Are those single units pictured or stacks?

hehehe,
I was not whining,
Actually the question that I wanted to post was: "Does anybody know if the units are resizeable?"
Now, STOP whining.

It's still amazing how people are completely sure how the game will be according to some marketing lines and a screenshot.
