"As far as actual graphics are concerned, in the two years Firaxis has been working on Civilization III, the art team has produced more than 12,000 tiles to give map screens a much smoother and more natural look"
This is from the preview. 12,000 different graphical tiles have been produced, and the screenshots we've seen are the best they can come up with? What the hell is going on over at Firaxis?

My same first reaction! 
Ok, many sources spoke about Firaxis started developing the game using old Civ II tiles over SMAC map engine.
This mix probably required to flatten all surface, hence the flat world we are looking in available "alpha" screenshoots.
Many info mentioned another new and fresh engine is in development, and it seems very strange to me it looks so flat and Civ II like as we have seen so far.
Deduction and hope: they are putting lot of effort into a separate engine that, so far, isn't merged to other part of game (do you noted "only haf work is done"?  ).
If this is true, we are probably waiting for a very big surprise on graphics and eye-candy: 12 thousand tiles can't be all wrong!
Please come on Firaxis Team, can someone at least confirm my guess about real engine still hidden so far? It's not as you will reveal a real secret...
