One big change in 'The Renaissance' is the 2d look.

It is always a bit dishonest to look through the telescope backwards, but, mercy, how did we ever allow or tolerate that original color palette?

Mostly we didn't, or the size of the units, which is why we didn't play it as much. Almost from the go I've modded the map. Whoever thought that terrain should be various shades of acid green...  :dunno:

I also have to be honest and say that I dislike the 3D units and terrain in this one even more than I do in all of the other titles, and that's saying something. I know that the guy that did those was widely admired, and is now deceased, but I just never could stand the look.


I actually don't really like games.

Yeah, that's what it was. The engine was set up for that, IIRC. Forgot how unpleasant that was...

You get four colors. One of them will be cyan. What's not to like?

I knew what Cyan was, but I had to look it up to see what it looked like.
