    Graphics are important if the game is to be a success. I remember the bad graphics in those Civ flops. What were they....."Call to Power" and two others, I can't even remember the names now. Some of the graphics were so bright they ruined my "night" vision. And the unit icons were not sized well or were "camouflaged" so that they could not be seen, especially after looking at the polar caps. Hmm, maybe that was a game design.

      They were trying to be soooo realistic that they even modeled in snowblindness.

        The graphics in SMAC was very bad too, but it was more a bad color choice than anything. If I could play SMAC with Civ1 graphics I would love the game
        This space is empty... or is it?

          One of these was on the Shah's flag. The Islamic Republic changed the flag.

              You completely missed the point of graphics. They aren't there for the player - they are there to sell the game.
              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                  I don't like the graphics either.

                    good to know

                    See Firaxis? Even the kiddies don't like it.

                      It's not that they're aiming it at kiddies, but it's that they're aiming it at fluffly casual gamers who can't pass Cheiftan.
