I've probably played 1000 hours of Civ games. This looks horrifyingly garish. I can't imagine being able to stare at this. I notice it's a top down view, and I don't see an option for an isometric view. Maybe the AI is smart? The AI in Civ 5 was absolute trash, which is a pretty common theme in Civ games.

Anyway, it's a pretty reasonable requirement for a game to not look horrific and off-putting, regardless of whether it is free.

Will you be making making the game pretty or simply demanding others do that? I see a fantastic effort here to replicate the Civ V mechanics. If people want to improve the graphical assets they're free to do so.
Yes, someone could TRY to do that.

What would be the point though? If whoever is making this can't tell it looks terrible, they will probably be like you and take any suggestion that it isn't perfect as a threat.

I think that's an unfair assumption, it's possible there is an artist already donating their time or the devs are happily waiting for one to show up.
I'm not totally sure what you mean, but it looks better than it did a year ago.
