I actually like the art a lot. I don’t have any interest in playing the new official Civ games. The fancy graphics don’t do anything at all for me. They consume system resources and just end up being a distraction and a source of slowdown.

I’d much rather have a strategy game with a really nice, clean, polished UI and simple, legible graphics!

I think it's amazing how, despite not using AI for their art, so-called AAA games like Civilisation end up with that pasty cartoony look of a thousand cheap pay to win mobile games. I think the leader and advisor avatars in Civ 6 are ghastly.

More I think about this:

This is just a variation on "Why TF did it take so long to get dark mode on phones?"

Which is -- why not swappable assets, like in a lot of simpler games?

I like a game that respects my battery and my TDP goals.
