    The game wouldn't suffer from making the borders a little more subtle. Right now they're harsh and glaring.
    I think these things will be tweaked and polished in the coming months. The graphics won't look exactly like these in the released game. They will most likely will have the same basic look but look a little more refined.
    However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

      FIRAXIS,

      I am assuming that Mod-makers will be able to substitute their own Terrain Graphics if they desire relatively easily as we were with Civ2 & Civ2-ToT.

      Can You confirm or deny ?

        I second to that. One must intuitively see the difference between regular natural terrain-types, and artificial man-made terrain-improvements. An an dont with those irrigations - they look like mosquito-infested drenced marshes too me.

        Make the water-canals more straight and regular, and more thin. And add some grain-colours so that one can see that food is actually growing there.

          To me the graphics look fine. I like the style, I think it looks nice and crisp.
          I have just one but. I think it's very hard to tell the difference between a happy, a content and an unhappy citizen. It seems the only way they differ is by their facial expression.
          Please correct me if I'm wrong and please correct it if I'm right.

            These graphics rule! I especially love the overall appearance of the game.

                  Actually I have to step out of character and say that the mountains still look like pimples. Shouldn't the individual peaks blend together (like they did in Civ2) to form a range? I will eagerly await Tim Smith or whomever to create new graphics so I can replace them with something better, so no big deal.

                        The graphics are pretty good, but I hate those irrigation tiles. Can't you just put wheat or something to indicate that?

                        Also the rivers and seas will look better if recessed.

                          Graphiscs are getting better from what i have seen in the past, but i have a few points to make it better.

                          1. irrigation tiles should be clearer (i feel it is swamp like)
                          2. sea, it is too green, should be more blue.
                          3. mountains whan next to eas other should be connected in the same ways hills are, not to have a valley in between the mountains all the time. like in that screenshot where you have a vertical range of mountanis, it would be nice if they were connectd and looked like Andes on the real map.
                          4. Are the French still pink

                          But overall they are really in progress.

                            I like that the coastlines look a lot smoother than in civ2

                              Amazing look and feel of the game. Really, really nice graphics.

                              And I don't mind the irrigation tiles or mountains either... great looking game IMO.

                                Yes, I agree. The mountains all look like they were poked up individually. I love the graphics otherwise, but the mountains have been bugging me ever since I first saw them
