just wanted to see how many cities on a map... if you look at the "southern tip" there seems to be a small string of closely knit cities... wish i know hoe far apart they were on the map

This is off topic, but I just felt like posting it somewhere. Has anyone noticed how off Chips and Bits' release date is? It lists October 1st as the date...2 days away...If only..

Wouldn't it be funny if Firaxis throws us a curveball and releases it in two days?

I'd laugh my ass off. Right off. This reminds me; is Uber going to attack the Firaxis offices due to a delay of less than a fortnight?

UberKrux, just in case you were interested, there are (at least) 3 different map shots of that particular game.

An early one , showing military units (look like swordsmen, knights, etc)
From the Replay screen, the game as it was in 1330 AD.
And of course, the industrial ages screenshot that you first posted.

Its easiest to see the cities (and their colours) in the replay screen, and *most* of the cities on the southern tip
seem to be Roman although two are American.

And thanks, now you've got me counting cities in screenshots

In the picture you provided
If you look on the mini-map for the box that contains the current screen, it looks like they are about the same distance apart as the French

I was assuming you were talking about the Greman cities, but are you talking about the area with the Light Blue ?

Dan mentioned the maps in recent screenshots were 140 x 140. See his posts in this thread:

This thread reminds me, i think we need a yellow text color so that we can talk about the civs in a game actually using their colors...

Don't worry Uber, the maximum map size will be 256 times 256 tiles.

Never having played CTP or CTP II (other than for about 1/2 hr), what was it like to play with 32 civilisations?

Never really played CTP or CTP II either, only little in my friend's house.

Well, I assume it will be more interesting with 16 civs in normal games. Where 16 civs are really crucial, though, is scenarios. I was frustrated by being unable to create scenarios with more than seven civs in Civ 2.

In my games, at least, everyone built about 2 cities and then killed off each other. I didn't play CTP very much, though, and don't have many memories of how it was like. I'd imagine that civ3 will be much more enjoyable with 16 civs on a large map.

My notebook's max. resolution is only 800x600, so I hope you are right about the screenshots.

Well, Infogrames' site, Firaxis.com, and Civ3.com don't have a release date or news item posted. Combined with all the game dealers changing the release dates, I don't think there has been an official release date announced.

Uber, you really do have no life!

It's good that there are going to be games with lots of cities. The one thing I hated about Civ2 ,was that the AI stopped expanding after a while. It was too easy to colonize their continents and take them over.

They most likely just made the shots smaller for faster download.

Taking another look at these maps, they really have improved the continent shapes immensely. Pat on the back, Firaxis.

I don't remember ever hearing anything Bison, but, unlike Uber, I have a life () and classes to take, so I'm not always 100% up-to-date.

Maybe it wasn't the nicest statement ever, but it doesn't hurt to poke a little fun occasionally. Also - Uber is the one that said it in the first place.
