New Gamespot screens Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy...creenindex.html

A couple new screens, with some gunpowder units and zoomed-in shots on cities.

Also, what appears to be the Greeks (Athens, Corinth) and Arabs (Baghdad, Mecca, Medina, Damascus)

Of course, it's just an assumption based on city names.

The building on the water has to be a...houseboat!

What's the green face above the city name? It looks like a "Mr. Yuk" you would put on the fridge to warn children about poison.

It's a harbor, you schmoes.

Those pictures of the cities are pretty snap, I must admit. I like how that is turning out at least; it is a nice stylistic change for the game. It will be very cool to see wonders on the map.

to me the houseboat looks more like something that needs to be fixed. There are several others things that seem to sit in the water aswell if only partially, seems like something that would be fixable though.

I'm pretty sure the buildings in the water is just a bug. The game has still got quite some time in development ahead.

Nice detail work on the terrain buildings. (Or is it "just" a higher detail setting?)

The city names look custom to me. I did not see any historical ones on the new screenies.

whats the make on the colored dots on the left side of the flags?

Settlers was red, units in the city white

maybe to do with activity?


EDIT
saw a different screenie where the flag had multiple dots

so maybe the difference will be experience

vet/elite...etc

I bet it's whether the unit has MP's remaining. Multiple dots if you have a stack of multiple units.

new article (I think maybe), not a great article but new(maybe), I'm somewhat disheartened in that missionaries can't travel more freely but I imagine it has to be that way to properly balance the religion play.

There were different city views for different civs in Civ3, European, middle eastern or far eastern. Also, city views changed as the game advanced to the next era. Does anyone know whether we're going to have different city views in civ4?
