The steampunk mod for Civ 2 was absolutely great.  Steampunk should always be a player option in these games, not base game, though.

That picture is not a Zeppelin, it is a fantasy boat on a balloon.

That said Zeppelins barely feature in V3 and I'd appreciate a zeppelin LDC.

Next teaser:



(German troops with a faux-Sherman looks just wrong; like a 1960s WW2 movie )

Maybe even a led zeppelin...

Final teaser:



All lines combined:

The dawn rises on the beginning of Human society...

...people bowed to the reign of kings and queens...

...with legends ushering in a new age of heroes...

...The Renaissance unlocked new ways of thinking...

...allowing many to rise above what was thought possible...

...to triumph over those who rallied against you...

...culminating in millennia of history.

New turn-based 4X stretching into the future. Looks very similar to Old World.

I'm pretty skeptical.

[Syt]

Carefully optimistic.

Ever since original Civ: Call to Power 1 stretched its 4X to to 3000 AD with a hypothetical "future history" I've been hoping someone would try that again (they tried a lot more to shake up the formula, some good , some bad, but few have tried to tweak it as much since then).

Also, I like that they let you customize your civ as you play, picking traits/modifiers as you move along. Kind of what I hoped Humankind would do as a way of civs being hard locked into certain play styles.

Curious about what their "deep economy" will look like.

I like this: "Variant and Crisis Ages feature unique alternatives, introducing everything from Cloud Estates in the Age of Aether to underwater cities in the Age of Utopia" - it seems you can eschew the "normal" steam age in favor of steampunk in certain conditions? Yes, please! (Unless it becomes a no-brainer choice.)

Fingers crossed this will a success like Age of Wonders 4 and not a dud like Empire of Sun.

Also, after dethroning Sim City they're going after The Sims and Civ now. Can't fault their ambition.

Life By You looks like butt

[Syt]

So far yes. Not really followed it much, but it seems their main selling point is making it a lot more moddable than The Sims?

Ie. P0rn?

That does seem like the first thing to come to mind, doesn't it...

I was amused by the fact that the "build zeppelins" mission timed out in the early 1870s, more than 20 years before they ever appeared IRL.  Even later, Zeppelins are never worth the research cost.
