I certainly wouldn't buy Civ4 for it's graphics.
And I will certainly not buy it because of it's graphics - they plainly suck, judging from the screenshots:

- comic-style leaders

- Troops are portrait realistically as possible (real-time 3D rendering, I suppose ..), there are even squads (to tell the army size?). As in every "good" RTS game, units are bigger than buildings and even mountains. I hate that. Either do realistic graphics, or do icons. I must admit the first will not work with a strategy game because of scale. (Yes, I hated Panzer General 3D as well)

- Woods don't look like woods, but like some lonely trees only

etc etc.

And even if the graphics where ok, there are lots other things that simply suck ...
