    True, real strategy gamers don't care about graphics. Heck, I get nostalgic for the old Civ1 'tile style' unit graphics. But that doesn't mean progress should stop. The technology is there now to have incredible graphics and deep game play. The only thing stopping it is money, time, and vision. Now, if you make incredible graphics, that will bring the mouth breathers to the game, which takes care of the the money part. Then all you have to do is wait for someone with the vision to come along.

      I have 20/20 vision

      Oh, not that kind of vision.

        I see 20/20 with glasses.
        Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers; arise ye prisoners of want
        The reason for revolt now thunders; and at last ends the age of "can't"
        Away with all your superstitions -servile masses, arise, arise!
        We'll change forthwith the old conditions And spurn the dust to win the prize

          No smart a$$ comments unless you are working on the next generation TBSs

              *Plots graph of quality of CivI, CivII, CivIII*
              *Extrapolates to CivIV*
              Oh dear.

              *Plots graph of quality of CivI, CivII, CivIII, SMAC, SMAX*
              *Extrapolates to CivIV*
              Better.

              We shall wait and see.

                #    #    #     #    #    ?
                #    #    #     #    #    ?
                Civ Civ2 SMAC SMAX Civ3 Civ4
                On a 1 to 10 scale. If you follow just the trend, Civ4 will be an absolute abysmal failure. Luckily for us all, there isn't enough data to make this anywhere near scientific. BTW: I think I am being generous giving Civ3 a 5.
