	Hidden screen shot? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

I found this screenshot on civ3.com that wasn't in the gallery and I don't think it's anywhere else on the website either, though it's possible I've missed it. If not, it looks like Firaxis is still trying to keep some secrets from us, those naughty fellas

Anyways, here it is: it appears to show a build queue! As an avid CtP fan, I'm very, very happy indeed to see this. Now let's just hope we can save it to disk as well...

Good job Locutus on finding that screenshot, where did you find it at in the website?

I'm sorry Mark.

Why is that the citizens are blue but in another screenshot the people are green?

It wasn't really a secret, just that the old Civ II pop heads are there instead of the new ones. I knew one of you'd find it anyway

There are plenty of little things to find on the site, though... for instance, how many of you have looked (and listened) all the way through the "Civ Legacy" section?

Markos,
No, I'm afraid there won't be. But in this case I'm prepared to say 'well, Civ3 ain't CtP, better get used to it', it's a loss but I can live without it.

TechWins,
Quite simple really: there was a screenshot called 'citymgt2.jpg' but no part 1. So I just played around witht the name (citymgt1, citymgt_1, etc) until I found it: citymgt.jpg...

Dan,
Sure, that's what I would say too

Of course I - and no doubt many others - read through it all the way, how could you expect any less from us? I noticed the community remark but these days it seems as if every development team uses such comments. Of course, now I notice it came straigt from the mouth of Sid himself (or at least is supposed to be, if you're as paranoid as Yin ), it means a bit more but it's still no heaven on earth...

good hint... it was really nice to hear the Civ I theme again, it rocks. On the Sid-on-Civ-3 page, there's still after 15 min something to download, I guess it's the Civ 3 theme. Darn, I wanna hear it! Is it like 20 Mb or what?

yes, it appears to be some sort of civ3 theme see below:

Yeah the music is fantastic. Who is your composer this time around?

Did Jeff give it another go after making such great scores in RRTycoon, Colonization, Civ I, SMAC, and Pirates?

there are also 2 cultural advisor screenshots where only 1 is shown in the gallery..maybe the other one is shown somewhere else... there's http://www.civ3.com/images/screenshots/cultural2.jpg and http://www.civ3.com/images/screenshots/cultural1.jpg i thought i saw a trade 1 and 2 but i guess not since it's not there anymore

My question is what is the format of the music in Civ3 the game itself? Is the music in *.swf format? or is that solely for the webpage? What kind of file is *.swf? Shockwave file?

macromedia flash.

No one would use flash for the music... itll be on the cd, I'm sure...

As stated it is a macromedia flash file, it will only be used for the website. Much of the site uses flash - i.e. the main page's civ of the week animation.

The game will probably use mp3 technology.

	Another screen shot Increase the size of your Attachments

I think I found another hidden screen shot on the Civ3.com site. It is another screen showing the cultural advisor at an earlier stage than the one on the site. There isn't much new information from this shot, but the more the better.

i think influence mean how much.... influence the city has to nearby cities to revolt and join you

Influence = Size of city borders (I think...)

i guess that makes sense... city range or whatever... but why does a size 6 have an influence of 1?

Maybe its a city with real low culture?

This is how I see it.

Culture leads to influence, influence leads to enlarged borders.
