Do not make game cartoonish

[Civrules]

Pirates! was cartoonish yet it grew on me.

The greens on the flora could be a little more vibrant. It looks nice though.

I just don't want to repeat the debate that went on in other games, with Diablo 3 being a very good example. People complained too much that the outdoor areas were too bright and cartoony. They wanted it to resemble their parents' dimly lit basement, which is what they view as "realistic".

That was actually one of the high-quality C:BE announcement screenshots with saturation reduced by 50, brightened, and a sharpness filter applied.

If the end game doesn't have the right colours, there's a shader mod for DirectX games called SweetFX that I think you can use to adjust them.

They cant make it to realistic ever heard of the uncanny valley? The game has a similar artstyle as civ v and that game is not cartonish.
