Yes its a big improvement! Especially like seeing the continous borders and not cities dotted here and there across the landscape with wilderness in between. Sure that is still the case even today. But every land on earth basically is within someones borders.
I mean, it ain't perfect--far too much unimproved land there for my tastes, and the cities seem a bit on the small side given the era, but I'll give that it's more of a mock-up than an actual game, and they probably decided big open terrain was better aesthetics for a press release than a very busy landscape jam-packed with tile improvements (which is what I'd rather a late game empire looked like). At least, I hope those are the reasons for it.
