I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Make me your slaveeeeeee grrrrrrr!!!

BTW, there is no "they". Jeff is taking care of making the music. The rest is just to encode it to MP3 or OGG and put it in the music folder. I bet Jeff is making some music because this is kinda a hobby for him. Come on, making a CIV is not a work, is a hobby.

Has anyone else noticed that some of the screenshots show rivers flowing up the sides of hills and mountains? That kind of flaw really annoys me. All the time spent on this game and they can't find a way to fix stuff like that?

Yes I noticed rivers in the specific screenshot. It starts from a lake, goes up a mountain or two and then gets back to the plains and I presume the ocean...

I like reality !

A propos rivers, I noticed a nice little thing: borders are a bit different when they're located on a river: each side has a bank, but the river itself is between the two borders. The borders aren't straight lines, but follow the shores of the river precisely

Hatshepsut is a horrible leaderhead. Way too cartoonish, doesn't look like a pharaoh.

Hmmm...

However, that has been removed in the latest version of the game, as it was apparently too much of an advantage, although Smith said it could come back, depending on what further testing determines.

Well, the others don't look that cartoonish, but eyes about five times bigger than normal and the overal look of a kiss-me photo model is a bit too much . Now, Saladin .

I'm glad Firaxis is adding the atmosphere back into Civ. I missed the wonder movies in Civ3 (the SMAC ones were fabulous and I watched them every time). One of my biggest problems with Civ3, aside from the uber expansive AI, was the lack of soul I felt from the game.

I can't wait to hear the orchestral music. Any plans to have voice actors read quotes after you do some research, like you had with SMAC (how cool was it when Yang would say one of his quotes!)

I'm glad that Saladin is the leader of the arabs, I rather play against big leaders then political correct leaders. I hope that Stalin shall also be one of the Russian leaders, he was my favorite leader in civ1.

It is great that they are adding leader based music. If Stalin is in would I suggest to give Stalin a very aggresive verssion of the USSR national song, I loved that one in civ1

It is also important that the personality of leaders should really differ: Saladin should be very friendly towards nations with the same religion but very unforgiving towards other nations.

Stalin on the other hand should be extremely aggresive and expansionistic, especially agaisnt leaders with other economic policies.

The mongols should instandly declare war on quite every civilization they meet and try to burn all there cities to the ground(or at least the big cities and those with wonders) while building nothing else then military buildings and cavalry, so that they can really be the quite unstoppable disease that destroys every civilization in it's path like in real history. And Ghandi should hug everyone he meets while never being the one who attacks first

Yang and Zakharov . Those two guys alone were excellent, great quotes. SMAC was amazing for atmosphere. I don't think another strategy game can top that.

Morgan was the most convincing quote speaker, IMO.

I agree totally with Imran--in many respects (but not all), Civ3 is a superior strategy game when compared to SMAC.

But the reason I play SMAC much more than Civ3 is that there IS NO SOUL.

And the reason I am so excited and optimistic about Civ4 is that is sounds like they are bringing it back. Firaxis.

I can somewhat forgive Civ3, though, because they had massive turnover in the middle of the project. But this time, it looks as though they realize that it can't just be strategy (and even then it looks as though they've done some great things with borders... so annoying that was in Civ3 when they'd find the one spot in the middle of your Empire that wasn't covered and plop down an unsustainable city), but an experience.
