New Unit Icons Badly Drawn?
Has it struck anyone else that the unit icons (the ones you click on to build in the city view) for all the new units in Warlords and BTS seem kind of...sucky?
At least compared to the original ones from Civ IV Vanilla. While the original unit icons seem so crisp and professional, the new unit icons seem as if the artist made liberal use of the blur tool in photoshop to hide poor quality detail—just look at the pre-modern spy, the attack submarine, the paratrooper and so on. Smudgefest galore! ![]() I'm guessing they couldn't hire the original artist to come back and do some new ones for Warlords and BTS. |

They look fine to me, and my monitor's a pretty decent size. Do you have like a 30" monitor or something? Regardless, I don't think it matters much. The icons are relatively small, and you shouldn't be playing the game for it's graphics anyway.
"New" is strange word to use, as BTS came out in 2007. |

It's also quite obvious for the leaderheads, which in Vanilla have a kind of hand-drawn quality while in BTS they seem to be rendered. Also the framing and size is totally different in the expansion packs. Hardly an issue, but the OP has a point...
