I like the elevated terrain in smac though it'd be nice to be able rotate the view to see the other side of mountains and such.Comment

Elevated. But maybe a mix of both.
I think the next game should take several things into account when defining a tile : elevation and climate. This way, you could have Siberian hills that don't produce any food, unlike Italian hills. It will give much variety to the tiles in the next game if there are 2 defining factors rather than one. And it'll look better

the thing I didn't like about smac was even though you would have mountains it would like like just a big rolling hill. A mix would be best, or at least more change in the appearance of the terrain.Comment

Yep Htower, that's right. I suppose the higher computer performance will help to have such steep mountains etc if the next Civ is in 3d"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Elevated terrain, as in SMAC, but with steeper mountains, as HTower said. When I saw that Civ3 terrain was flat (and there was no enviromental effects -- like animated water or sandstorms in deserts ) I was a bit disappointed.
I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

I like the elevated terrain as well, but the SMAC color scheme sucks. Pinkish fungus? Bleh. Dull green forests?
Keep the elevated terrain, just spice it up a little.
