On CFC I read the Great Wall is visible from space. Neat.

Since in theory anyone could change the engine now (unless I am wrong) - that reduces the value of an expansion pack quite a lot.

Just because it fits the existing engine doesn't make it less valuable. It's still a creative art and on anything creative the maker may claim copyright. And anything with copyright has a potential value.

Expansion packs are overpriced though, in almost every case.

That I agree with.

I'm reading about the reshuffling of the civ traits (including the new ones) on IGN. It's good they made new pairings instead of simply adding the new traits only to the new leaders. I also like civ specific buildings. Some of them are pretty strong. Russian research institute anyone?

I like the Mongolian Ger building a lot. +4 experience points for mounted units. Coupled with barracks and theocracy that gives your cavalries/knights/keshiks +10 experience points, a level 4 unit without even having to win a battle.

Wouldn't it make sense if barracks now only give a bonus to non mounted units?

Sure, it would, but I haven't read anything about that in any preview...

but then the building wouldnt be as much of a bonus because it'd mean you'd have to build a barracks and that if you wanted to produce varying unit types.

maybe if they made you build both the mongolian thing could be +6 for mounted units.
