Color of the sea

[Kurgan]

Does anyone Knows why there is a difference of color in the sea (and the rest also looks different) in the in-map screenshots shown here: http://www.strategyplanet.com/civili.../screens.shtml

As I understand it, Frixas wanted the sea to be all the colours it actually is. It is a different clour in different parts of the world, and Frixas is trying to reflect this. I seem to remember them (or someone) making a statement to that affect.

Well, you must consider game is still "work in progress", so you can guess graphic artists are tuning colour for best result (both for artistic effects and about easy readability and right contrast).

Second point is screenshots come from different sources, some directly from screen capture, others from a longer path of screen capture, print on game magazine, scan acquisition.

Some are probably been retuched in contrast/lightness for enhance the details on small format...

My humble opinion is don't bother at this time of minor difference, until final screenshots start to appear on official site

They are probably there to symbolize the differnt depths of the waters;

the engine has changed once or twice during the screens.

if u look at that one of "the city of baltimore", there are civ 2 city icons to the left!

and the graphics have changed, look at irragation.
