I dont fully understand the outrage about the graphics.
As stated before this is early gameplay screenshot
And I would like the mention the best aspect of any civ game is the Mod Community. I would assume in the 1st weeks of release there will be a graphic mod.
Could be embarked units, but they happen to be on top of fish.The small boats could be embarked units(more likely) or workboats.
I think this is the old guard reacting badly. Some players really liked the Civ5 realism aesthetic. This seems to be more of a return to the Civ4 whimsical aesthetic.
I've heard comments like
'it looks like a mobile game'
'just like those mobile war game commercials' etc.
As someone else has already done in this very thread, all they need is to add depth of field, some more atmospheric effects and pretty up the models and it will look appropriate.
I'm not too disturbed by the graphic style, it's acceptable to me. I assume we'll be going back to realistic in Civ 7.
I don't see much "outrage"... most people like me are just saying that they aren't liking what they see. Don't blow it out of proportion.

Dock in a city that isn't itself on the sea is a good catch, and a great addition! No more having to build on the coast just to unlock coastal buildings, if a city can build a dock district regardless.
The screenshots supplied show a style much closer to CivRev2 than to Civ4. That's why some people don't like it. It "looks" to them like a mobile game.
See spoiler to see what I mean.

I'm going to go the other way. I hope they have a decent low poly graphic capability with no animations. Like music, after you sit and watch a unit attach a couple of times, it's just a waste of time.
So I'd like to have a low quality version with no animations, but a much bigger map.
