Caesar 4 Maximum Zoom

[Need_Help]

In C4, will we be able to zoom until we see the walker's face(like the avatar)or we can also zoom in to see what's the person doing at the houses(like the CivCity:Rome)

Thanks:)

Yes, you can zoom down to street level if you want to. This is just like it was with "Children of the Nile."

So it just like we are one of the citizens walking in the street???Nice but can we zoom into a granary or a senate or something elso to look what is inside it like stronghold or CivCity:Rome??

Thanks:)

Probably not. You could zoom into and move into a building in CotN, but there were no detailed interiors if you managed to do so. You can probably attach the camera to a character walking along the streets just like in CotN too and it will follow him around the city at any zoom level. Or you can manaully move the camera about the streets as if you were there yourself.

So it just can see the external view of an building.If the person you are following moves into his/her house or shop or something else, how is it??Is it going into the building or just disappear and the camera shows his/her moving in the building and cant go in??

Thanks:)

The way it was in CotN is if the character went into a building you could follow them in and they'd just be standing there or disappear. There wasn't anythinng to see inside. Many of the buildings did have animated sprites of workers working at industrial sites like the CotN bakery. From the screenshots of Caesar IV we've seen similar animated workers making wine, etc.

in a nutshell, the structures were just hollow frames with designs on the outside and nothing on the inside.

So the people in C4 never get in a building??They just come out suddenly and disappear??If we can go in a buildiing then is it good that we know what is that building looks like and how many people inside it.One more thing is the colosseum.Will we be able to become one of the spectators to view the gladiator fight??

Thanks:)

[Keith]

When the people go into the building they disappear (usually), not when they come out.

You should be able to zoom down to street level and "take a seat" in the colosseum or the hippodrome to view and event. Whether those events are going to change each time you check in to those places or not we don't know. It could be just a fixed animation that repeats over and over.

The colosseum is only human vs human or together with human vs animal??If following the history, they have both so what could it be??Can we follow the gladiator to fight??If we can fight by human controlled then it is fun.Just like go to a mission and fight and maybe we can earn money from it.:D

You should post these ideas in on the suggestion board.

I don't think we are going to see any first person fighting mode in Caesar IV (it was suggested for the army though.) It might add a little spice to the game as long as they keep it realistic. The "hero mode" of Rise & Fall is a sheer fantasy because you can hack down dozens of enemy troops, elephants without sustaining too much damage, although you do take damage.

Thanks for your reply.I dont know whether this idea had been discussed or posted before on there.This idea comes from other game that is like matrix....Because I think we can zoom in to the colosseum to see the gladiator fighting because they had made the gladiator in the concept art.And if this idea post in the suggestion now, I also dont know whether they have enought time to add in this feature before the game release.

Thanks:)
