Is this pollution?

[Akron]

I was looking through the screenshots when I came across one with a blackened up tile. Looks like pollution:

Pollution or Oil maybe?

[Gramphos]

Not oil, I attach oil.

It really look like some black clouds. It must be pollution.

[Col Bigspear]

Ok, I hadn't seen the oil graphic.

[d_dudy]

hey, i think you're right. that's gotta be pollution

[Mars]

its pollution or a glitch in the graphics (but i would put my money on it beging pollution

[JellyDonut]

Could very well be. That city is huge and it's the industrial era.

[Sabre2th]

My vote would go for pollution as well.

Actually, it's a modern age screenshot, which is something we've seen little of. The date on it was 2000 AD.

Yah, that definetley looks like pollution! Great find

Really, that's a modern screenshot, where'd you get it? And do you think you could show us the rest of it?

If you look very closely, the mountain square on the bottom left of that screen shot snippet also appears to have pollution.

[Akron]

Yeah, I thought that square had pollution too, but I wasn't sure since it could be the shadow of the unit or something else.

It's the 2nd row, 3rd column on this screen:

THEY'RE GIANT BLACK SNAKES!! AND THEY'RE HEADING FOR THE CITY! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

[Sarxis]

These snakes will probably be animated, no?

It will be lovely to watch plumes of black smog floating around my city tiles

Actually I think there is an altogether more feasible explanation for this, and a rather dull one. I remember when these screenshots were scanned out of a magazine. I think it is nothing but a crease in the paper
