the art of Civilization
Hi fellow civ addicts! This is my first post. While I'm quite interested in gameplay and tips and the like (thanks to your posts I've already figured out how to do some things in Civ III which had baffled me) I'm also interested in other aspects of the game.
I wanted to ask about your reactions to the design, graphics and at times sheer artistry of the games. Each has its own style - are their any particular games which you overall think beautiful, and why? Likewise, are there any individual aspects of any of the games which you think are especially visually appealling?
I can think of a couple of examples: One, in the first game, the very simple graphic of waves lapping on the shore. Two, in Civ III the opening sequence where the geese fly over the river (I'm guessing that's done by a different company) and in the game proper the wooden ships, the frigates in particular.
