New previews at Apolyton
|
|
I'm sure most have seen or hard of this already but Markos and Solver but have previews up for the game.
Nice stuff in there for those who haven't been testing this thing for the past 3 months or more, lol. 
There is also a large preview up on CivFanatics written by CivRules today too.
Hmm, lots of information going out as we get closer to release day. There may be a few more surprises as well when Civ4 finally gets released to the public. 
Well, I've been following the previews with some interest. There was mention made that fewer workers are required in Civ4, fewer (but more distinctive) military units, and fewer cities, and that the game in general has been streamlined to some degree (hopefully including diplomacy.) That sounds somewhat promising to me.
Still, I'm not certain whether I will buy the game immediately when it comes out, and if I do, I'm not certain whether I will start playing immediately. I am likely to get the game at some point... but before I do, I'm really hoping to see some feedback from some of the veterans here focussing on the micro issue. Is anyone planning to write a capsule review of some sort when the game comes out, possibly as part of a report for an initial game?
Hi,

Naturally, it will highlight the differences between Civ 3 and Civ 4, as I'm sure I will do a lot of  based on outdated Civ 3 habits, so it might be interesting for you to read.And somehow I'm sure there won't be a lack of similar reports from other veterans once the game is out... -Kylearan
