What do you think about graphics of the game? (poll)

I hope they can improve those blocky borders.

All other issues with the graphics aside, I think they would do well to make the borders more like those in Civ V.

About immersion, the more I think about it, the more I believe I'll be more immersed with VI graphics, because they are consistent in their abstraction. I can see the map as... well, as a map. I see a forest as a representation on a map of the forest in that area etc etc.
In V there is this inconsistency. You get this awesome realistic looking map, and then you plop ugly cities on it, you cover the land with improvements and it's awful to look at, you build roads and... I won't even go there. That realistic looking terrain and then there's civ scale of everything, continents, distances etc. etc. The more I look at side by side comparisons the more inconsistent and weird V style looks.

That, plus a lot better gameplay than V (and it really cannot be otherwise this time, as this is not a "IV > V" full on revolution, but rather "add and improve") will definitely immerse me more. Good example with graphics for myself is the fact that despite me never going back to IV after V, I was never as immersed in V as in IV.

Same here. Weird, right? As far as realistic graphics go... I'm getting my fill with Europa Universalis. Or at least realism in general. Thanks to the discussions on the Civfanatics Civ6 forum, I learned of the existence of EU4. Between that and Civ5, I'll have my strategy itch scratched pretty damn well while I wait for Civ6 to get properly patched and modded lol [emoji16] . No initial release for me thanks to EU4

I voted 9. The graphics are actually kind of nice to look at after you get used to it.
