Ditto. The cartoony feel doesn't really fit what I would expect from a CIV title, hopefully that will change.

The gameplay changes themselves seem very promising, though

Art usually doesn't change much from the screenshots. What you see is probably what you're going to get.

I feel like V is fairly cartoony. These screen shots just don't feel polished though.

99% of my time in Civ 5 is spent in strategic view. Keep that mode and fix that I can't tell if a tile has a coast line and you can base the graphics on the My Little Pony for all I care.
