It's not even a screen from the game, it's a shot of an internal art tool that we use to see how the units look and animate on a game-esque background.

Stupid title, made me enter here for nothing. This thread needs to be closed.

When did Dan set that Avatar, I've not noticed it before. It is a knight attacking, right?

It is indeed a Civ III knight, probably my favorite unit in the game. Looks and sounds like a real juggernaut

You know Dan, now youre obligated to release a little WAW of the knight sound and perhaps a little animation.

I think the knight is one of the units attacking in the screensaver. You can see some animation and hear some sound there, but the quality of the avatar is better then the unit in the screensaver.

Weird, I turned this thread into a thread discussing Dan's avatar.

A thing I notice on the picture: one of the ships seems like a viking longship for me. I thought the vikings were out?

Oh, where in the brain is that info logged.

I don't think you can take the units in that image as facts. For example there are four types of tanks in there but I don't think there are that many. Maybe 2, one regular and one for Panzers, the German special unit.

That's one is ancient history. That might be why some think it's new... The units looks nice though

Wille: I hope you're not refering to ifk malmö (0-5)
Congrats to you since you'll get Prahl

You're not the first one to say that, but we have seen the very same ship in other screenshots clearly under the control of other civilisations. Apparently it is some sort of trireme.
