God I hate the Civ III graphics

[Zizka]

I'll add my 2 ducats to that.. the railways look like drab spagetti...grey and hyper ugly! 10 billion loops going no where. Once you have several connecting raiload ties the who landscape looks like railway accident waiting to happen..

[Max Webster]

Yeah Civ2 was the same, railroads everywhere.

Stop trolling, CyberShy.

I agree things are too small. Only one level of zoom? I remember in Civ II being able to zoom in until you could see ta-tas on that hottie spy. And if you're attacking another unit at the 2-O'Clock direction you can't see their hitpoints. And there should be a search capability to find resources instead of having to manually scroll all over the map looking in other civs' territory trying to find that coal that is buried under a unit, railroad and mine.

BTW, how do you access an oil resource that's in the water... do you have to get to miniturization first and build a platform? Thanks.

Have you actually come across Oil in the water??? If so could you post a screenshot, as far as I know this shouldnt happen.

I think complaining about graphics in a Civilization game is the ultimate indication of being a complete Philistine.

I mean...come on.

Hey, I like the road and railway graphics. Sure the railway looks like a plain grey (or is it gray? ) ribbon, but you would guess it would from really high up in the sky. I like how there are so many graphics for them so they wind around the country side, and don't look rigid, but more natural.
Only problem I've had is I get some of the ancient units confused if I'm not paying attention, especially the archer and a settler or worker. Once I moved my settler into harms way because I thought it was my archer, needless to say it got killed
But besides that the graphics are great. Wait, I have one more graphical complaint, well, more of a game play complaint, but the map grid doesn't show your city radiis, so you can't see if the area they are working overlaps.

Some of you guys still don't get it do you? Graphics are truly subjective and customizable; if you don't like any of them...change them yourself (sn00py showed you how) or download sn00py's or anyone else's graphic updates. Instead of coming here complaining, get working or get downloading. Sheesh.

[Zanzin]

Only thing I don't like about the graphics are the railroads. Quite ugly.

Other than that, I think that they rock, especially with snoopys graphic mod

I am more and more not liking the no 800 x 600.

I have a 33'' Gateway Destination presentation monitor, and a 64MB 3D Prophet II video card.

The units ARE small, and the resources ARE hard to tell apart (silk and incense, iron and game..)

This would not be a problem if only I could zoom in more like in Civ II.

I think the folks complaining about the game's graphics are bad are in a minority here, a small minority at that.

Stop trolling, CyberShy

1. I putted content in my post that made sence ("you need to get used to the new graphics.
After playing a few (hundred) hours you'll tell them apart.")

and about me reacting on his 'God' thingy,
in fact I'm really bothered by people doing this.
Is it trolling if I react to that ?

What about your spam post ?

[Ulfang]

Well I ain't got the game yet as it's not our till Friday in the UK but from what I read here I figure most people are quite happy with the Graphics!!



Thanks the Gods

Yeah! I can't find oil ANYWHERE else on the whole map, except the water. And I don't know how to access it there (miniturization maybe?). If someone can help me out, please post. Thanks.
