  1. isometric view needs better graphics by goodmanj · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I love freeciv, but I'm disappointed with the isometric view. The graphics are muddy and indistinct compared with the old Trident tileset. All the land types look the same, and the units blend in with their backgrounds.

    I recommend people try starting the client with --tiles=trident, to get the old view. It would be nice someone should draw some new, improved isometric graphics.
