The only problem with graphics mods is that they can't be used in MP unless you load them as a mod, this is to prevent cheating like a player creating a "graphics mod" that removes the fog of war etc. It is a nice effort though and very well done.

I got this mod just after it was released and i think it makes the game look so much better, the old graphics look bland and boring in comparison i fully recommend it. I don't notice any improvement in game speed, i read that the amount of pixels used for this are the same as the normal terrain. I don't have time for mp at the moment but didnt know you couldn't use it in multi, are you sure about this, as surely it just replaces the old art files and shouldnt be seen as a cheating mod so to say, also i used snoopy's graphics with different border graphics in c3c and had no problems in multiplay.

Ive also recently used this mod in mp (appears Firaxis has hired the wrong prgrammers as using this mod has allowed met to mp again), and Ive not seen any reason to say its a "cheating" mod as all it does is replace and optimize older files and improves graphics nothing beyond that, so I recommend to the 99.9% of the ladder who has errors with 1.09 to use this Mod.

CS Huh CS ? I have always played with the Snoopy mod in C3C - it doesn't constitute a cheat. It improves the game look and appearance. There is still fog of war. Why wouldn't the same apply to CIV4 ? Especially if it improves performance. Can we not evaluate a mod and ensure that it offers no unfair advantage and then sanction it as ok for MP play on the ladder ?

After the new patch (1.52) the only thing left of the mod it seems is the main menu graphics, so its a bit outdated now.

Because "Blue Marble" was the name of the nasa project from which those images were taken from as for the fall from heaven mod I have no idea ,but maybe it's named that way because it's a religion / magic mod .
