Uber, what was the point of that?
I think that an animated gif of a nuclear attack would look much better, especially if it used the Civ III graphics engine and was used against a city built with the Civ III graphics engine. |
Uber was replying to my past where I claimed that if you didn't want eye-candy, you might as well ask for Civ3 in ASCII. Nothing he posted was out of place or wrong, it was a sarcastic and humorous reply, to my own post.
Uber's joking people, and stop whining about him being childish, Civ3 is a game, game's mean fun, just because his sense of humor isn't as "refined" as some people doesn't mean he's not a decent poster who is very commited to Civ3, maybe too committed, but that's a problem a lot of us have.

I know what he was replying to, I've been following the thread. And it was funny. That's why I followed up by saying how graphics would be better...
A little too committed?
What we have is called obsession

It's a bit on the eyecandy, but it's somewhat like some statistic graph: useful to have a glance at your buildings and wonders.
I'm not sure if some animation will still be in, like seeing the buildings/wonders under construction, some road traffic, the falling of building bombarded by enemy troops, the horde of attacking troops invading your cities...
Maybe some background sound and noise will add to the visual part. Let's wait the final game, then let's start ranting for an expansion...

It is the Wall Street (small) wonder, confirmed.
BTW, very tall skyscrapers are more common in USA cities, Japan and, of course, Hong Kong, while we have quite few in many others main cities around the world.

I agree also. That looks quite stupid with all the empty space. I really hope that is a low-population city. I didn't like Civ2 city view either, maybe because big cities looked like small villages. Civ1 had a good city view, I liked that. I also liked the marching animation(s) when you captured a city. |
Same fellings here!!
The marching animation was very cool - it even changed from period to period (Pikemen in Acient; Musketeers in Middle Ages; Modern Soldiers in Modern Times)!!
Civ 1 view was very cool too, all those buildings close together, all tight, were very real, and you could people on the streets!!
Civ 2 view was very disappointing, no matter what much millions your city population had, the city never had scyscrapers, only a few flats - i agree it looked like a village, very pathetic!!
I really hope that image is from a low population too!! (but if it is, why the skyscrapers?)
Aldo it has no effect in gameplay whatsoever, I really enjoy all this artwork thing!!
I mean, can anyone say (for real) that doesn't enjoy looking for some good artwork in a game, aldo it doesn't have any effect in gameplay? Can you imagine the Civilization game only with plots in a black and white screen, with great gameplay? 
Come on, be honest with yourselfs!! The artwork is a party for the players eyes!!
The gameplay is obviasly the most important thing in a game, but a good artwork is a good add-on!!
