An Early Look At Civilization V 286

c0mpliant writes "IGN and Gamespot have each released a preview of the recently announced and eagerly awaited Civilization V. Apart from the obvious new hexagon shape of tiles and improved graphics, the articles go on to outline some of the major changes in the game, such as updated AI, new 'flavors' to world leaders, and a potentially game-changing, one-unit-per-tile system. No more will the stack of doom come to your city's doorsteps. Some features which will not be returning are religion and espionage. The removal of these two have sparked a frenzy of discussion on fan-related forums."

You're right, but as long as they continue to publish their source code as "for educational purpose only" (mostly like LAME did as you said), they shouldn't have any problems...

But starting a video codec without implementing any tech developped by the MPEG consortium is a hell of a job!!! And a minefield too...

Until OGG Tarkin comes out (if it does), i think that XVID is the best solution for now: in a legal and in a video quality point of view...
