Unless the smaller settlements appear when you zoom in.Anyway, I'm cautiously awaiting it's release. I admit I've been spoiled by Rome: Total War, which I've been playing and replaying ever since I've got it. The main difference: the battle detail is such that you can get those "against all odds" moments and win a brilliant victory. If Civ4 is like its predecessors and "simplifies" combat, I think I will miss controlling my cohorts and archers in battle. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But of course, playing Civ is like playing about 10 games in one: ancient battles, roman empires, medieval campaigns, napoleonic wars, WWII, and then MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> So I don't expect a lot of nitty-gritty on the battlefield.On a side note, I've rediscovered Space Empires IV, a 4x space game in the same general genre. Horrible graphics, but incredibly addictive. A standard to measure all 4x games.One more turn, one more turn, ... 5 am! ARGH!Andargor</blockquote>
