Civ4 Scaled Screenshot Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

There's a lot of debate over the graphics over at CivFanatics.com, thought I would shed some relief on what the XML modding capabilities can/might do.

So here is the screenshot:

that's not a bad look, and can certainly be improved upon by fan artists to look even better. I wonder about the lack of roads appearing in that shot though, is road rash gone?

oh btw, if the tiles can be shrunk (I mean the actual working tiles, not the graphic tiles), then that screen alone could contain approx 100 tiles.

Thus making the world map much much larger.

I disagree. IMHO the city spreads over just one tile, so this screen only contains about 9 tiles.

Is this a result of using a prog like photoshop? Or is this done using the modding facilities of cIV?

Do you wish to insinuate, that your work is something different from improving Civ graphics?

No way we can permit this, get back to your REAL work NOW!

Sn00py, that's a very good way to spend your time break instead of wasting it drinking coffee...

Really nice graphic, adding a few roads will make it perfect, still... I'd like to see around the town a couple of units, just to see how they can scale and compare, too.

Good Screeny! Now if only we'd see some normal sized units ( and yes, I know that the size ratio remained largely the same from previous games, but the previous games wheren't fully 3d.

I think you need to see the original screenshot to fully understand.

You see, I took a screenshot from the stockpile and simply edited it.
I just took the buildings off, filled in the terrain and then put the buildings back but made them 100 x smaller. By doing this, I have made the buildings seem closer to scale with the surrounding terrain, so your brain doesn't have to cry trying to understand what it is looking at; which is why I think a lot of people say it's not pleasing to the eye, it's cluttered, it's messy, it's confusing. (Mind you, I'm sure you can get used to the default look of Civ4 if you play it for a while, since the brain is good at adapting ).
