Someone better mod that real soon after game release.
Agreed, Im hoping some of the graphics modders will be able to really clean up and improve alot of the standard graphics.

But maybe we need to be hit over the head with anything that makes us realize oil is an UGLY resource.
Yes, it has had great benefits, huge benefits ...but it is dirty, and pollutes, and it is running out sooner rather than later. We need to find alternative ways to keep our world's energy needs met this century...or possibly perish as a race.
Our oil addiction must stop...so hats off to the artists in this case for putting in an 'ugly' graphic.
Hey, I've been thinking about it for a few days...troytheface said:i thought it was a jumping purple horse without a head.
Umm, guys, they are still refineing the graphics, just look at some of the more recent graphics, a bunch of them are just place holders, wait till it gets a little more close to actual release time before trying to tell everyone that it is all junk (although, yes, they do have me a little worried ).joycem10 said:If you want to stare at bad/ugly graphics for the sake of your political beliefs feel free. I'll mod this and alot of the rest of the graphics ASAP. Just need someone like Snoopy or Warpstorm to come up with something as nice as their CivIII mods.
Oil is dirty is not a polictical belief. It is a fact...have you ever been around a refinery? Seen the area around a production site? Have you ever seen a brown cloud from internal combustion emmisions around a major city? Have you ever stood on a beach ravaged by an offshore oil spill? Seen oil clumplets floating in the ocean? It ain't pretty.joycem10 said:If you want to stare at bad/ugly graphics for the sake of your political beliefs feel free. I'll mod this and alot of the rest of the graphics ASAP.

Oil has been a tremendous boon to our way of life...but it has a really bad downside. Even the major oil companies themselves have recently released reports that peak oil is coming in the next 10 to 15 years. Political? No, realistic. We do have to find other sources of maintaining our way of life, or suffer the consequences. (The environment is not political. I will agree that how we deal with it is. )
As far as looking at ugly graphics, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...mod away...I know I will be for other things myself if I get Civ4.
It shouldn't be displayed, it's below the surfacetoft said:Whats so bad about the look of the oil? How would you display it better? I think its good looking and easy to see that it is oil...
