Yay! I guess we'll have to show them how

Yeah, it's a great conspiracy: Sid is a great artist that pay some others to work on Civ IV graphics only to compete (and often win) with its own beautiful screenshot and terrain mod.

Not enough: it started a parallel project, deceiving it under the "Humanitas" name just to whip his employee to do a better job...

I bet not.

Great!

Tell me more, oh farseer: will irrigations be adapted to terrain? I mean, in civ3 irrigations were different in desert, plain or grasslands. Will terrain have placeholders in order to add more variety?

I was dissapointed when I saw the throne room in Civ2, I liked the palace in Civ1 much better...

Of course it might have something to do with the fact that back then I was playing Civ1 on the Amiga, and I had to insert another disk whenever I was adding something to the palace, so I didn't use it that much

Either that, or he is quoting from the song 'The Future's so Bright, I gotta wear Shades', which probably indicates that he plans to nuke all his opponents into oblivion !

On a more serious note, the more I see and hear about this game, the more I believe that I am gonna get soooo caned by the AI in my first dozen or so games!!!!

Yeah, with religious improvements becoming a sort of diplomatic tool, it is going to take time to figure out how to balance your civilizations religious power and military power.

Not to mention balancing out your military with upgrades and making the right choices as far as that goes.

I think Firaxishas got the message now, we've been complating on this for ages now. But it's no problem, it's just a number in a XML file, I guess they have more imortant things to do these days.

Yeah, all based on screenshots...

I really don't understand the purpose of all the whining about the unts in all honesty.
Those screenshots are meant for PR reasons, not for ease of play. Who knows that once we're actually playing the game, we all want them bigger because it's easier to handle them!?

Besides, if the large units is (y)our biggest gripe with it, I say Civ4 is in brilliant shape.

Quite frankly, I see nothing wrong with the large unit icons. It helps you see what unit it is quickly and allows for easy selection of units by mouse.
