Well well well...

Untill now, the only NEW stuff i have discovered is on the interview:

And it states:

" A game in CTP1 lasts for 350 - 500 turns, but for CTP2 we coded that each game lasts for 800 - 1000 turns"

So, that's it: 1000 turns!!!

The reason:

" You will be able to plan better that way, focusing on the long term while you use your latest discovery. The idea is to give each key-discovery (for example, Cavalry) enough time to produce some earnings, before it is made obsolete by the next one."

It sounds to me that they have span the middle ages so that we can exploit the technologies and its advantages for a longer time. No tanks rush?

See ya later aligators

This sounds great to me.

I've had a look at the screenshots. They may be the latest ones yet, by the looks of the radar screen. It uses a string of icons, instead of the filter buttons on previous screenshots. A couple of the screenshots mixed in are old, though.

There are a number of new units shown, including some kind of hover bike.

An underwater city and improvements are shown in one pic.
