Who likes the alternate graphics in that screenshot? They definitely give the game a more "painting" look, and less "electronic".

I definitely like them. It'll be good to be able to switch around terrain types for a little bit of variety.

Well, it's based on a WarpStorm idea AFAIK. I liked the WarpStorm's early preview...
Just check my posts about it, if you want more info on this "painting look".

I prefer that tile set myself - it's the Watercolor tileset, in which the map is rendered in watercolor brushstrokes. The desert looks fantastic with that tileset.

I like it, too, but I'm just a little biased

warpstorm seriously the watercolor tile really makes feel of the game experience.... different. And this was the feeling I got just from looking at that pic!
The blurry watercolor style almost would make the game feel like playing an epic history, something from the past. I dunno I just got a feeling like that.

That's because it turns the game into a tapestry, an artwork look.
It's more imprecise in certain ways, but gives the game a softer, ancient look to it.
From a technical standpoint, the broad strokes makes the more pixellated units, buildings and cities stand out, so they no longer blend in with the background.
