they're probley trying to reduce server lag only thing i can think of
or maybe they didn't want to get sued by Microsoft....that would be a pretty good motivation to change the graphics.
Town View
I don't care for the new look on the stone walls. Nothing else looks different to me (unless I'm missing something). They are just too bland, even though "bland" is probably in keeping with medieval wall aesthetics.
City View
I like the terrain in the city view. It's smoother and more defined, and looks more multi-dimensional and less...cartoony.
Map View
I really dislike map view. Prior to the change, cities were easy to see and didn't blend into the background. You could roughly gauge a valley's level by looking at the size (hills and lakes being larger, for example), but the new graphics don't show hardly any difference between L1 and L6, so you actually have to mouse-over things now. It's cartoony and amateur, and is a definite downgrade from the previous imagery.
my level 5 walls look my garden wall :O
my newest village looks like 1 farm!
what can i say? i dont like them.
but i do like the fact that it has hopefully helped with the lag :)
EDIT: cant get onto server right now, maybe it didnt help lol
It's an upgrade as for as game itself is concerned.
Nice update, everything looks really good!
Yup pretty much agree with Sarasca. Like the new terrain on City Screen, not fussed about change in Town Screen, new Map Screen is really tough to discern terrain levels (and even types in some cases).
Don't get me wrong, aesthetically there is much to be said for the Map Screen, it's pretty, but it's just not easily playable.
Yes, Beeb...I forgot to mention that now with the new graphics, you almost can't tell whether something is a forest or grassland when you're in MAP view.
Ratsrus -- No thanks, I have enough self-respect that I'd rather not dress up like a ghetto tramp on Prom Night and display my "wares" in exchange for a few game coins, another crapload of resources I don't need, and a Rose Medal. :p :p
