How are the Graphics up here?

[Gary Childress]

Haven't tried Civ V yet. I'm sort of wondering how the graphics are for the fifth installment of my favorite game of all time?

Basically so far it's been a trade off:

On the one hand you have Civ 4 which uses cheesy low poly models to achieve the ability to zoom in close up to your units versus Civ 3 which can use better quality models but you can't zoom in or change perspectives or anything.

How does Civ 5's graphics compare?

Thanks.

I'd say the terrain looks better than 4, but the units are about the same. See picture in the opening post here to see a Civ4 unit side-by-side with a Civ5 unit in Civ5.
