I play civ3 because my comp can't take civ4 I was just wondering how hard it be to make a civ4 mod that just used the simpler civ3 graphics as a fix for people with slow comps?
 
So much for "Most moddable civillization yet" lol oh well. Thanks guys.

well it is indeed the most moddable civ yet but like they said themselves, it isnt easy to mod.

the problem im pretty sure is that civ4 i in 3d so it would be no different than trying to turn civ3 into civ 4... you have to make a 3d game into a 2d game. not an easy task.

If you can make Civ 3 have Civ 4 graphics, or even do half the things you can do with Civ 4 I'd be very impressed.

As was mentioned above, it's probably possible. You could strip out all the 3D and replace it with 2D overlays, but it would be far too much effort, and wouldn't be fun.
 
This mod is a good start. It can help replace 3D units with 2D placards. The problem is that that will only cut some of the "fat". I've found dramatic increases when I've only grassland or water tiles on the entire map (no forests, hills, etc). While this is fine for Civcraft maps, it makes for very boring games of Civilization.
