This game won't be a hit

This is extremely subjective, this is simply your opinion. And it is a fair opinion but it involved taste. It is not absolute

It is not subjective because I am speaking comparatively with previous games. Relatively, the previous games have more detail than AOE-4. In the previous games there are fauna of all kinds and the interface of each game is very detailed.

UI icons = Traffic Signs?

When the discussion with all those people criticizing the UI and asking for change was taking place under a thread titled “3 reasons UI is overwhelmingly good”, obviously it would go unnoticed that nobody in there liked the unpersonalized and generic looking UI icons. And now we heard the devs proudly saying that it was the community council that influenced those UI icons. Which makes one wonder whether the overall contribution of this council was eventually for good or worse… From what I have…

Don’t understand people complaining about ‘cartoon’ or ‘mobile’ graphics or any of these silly comparisons. Graphics and art style are fine. I appreciate they don’t have as much oversaturation and bloom as other age games. Easy on the eyes for long games, easy to see what’s going on. I would hope most RTS players are interested primarily in the game mechanics themselves - that’s what’s going to determine whether this is a long term success or not. I feel like people who won’t buy based solely on their perception of “graphics” are not really the target audience for RTS games anyway.

As I say. There must be a harmony between gameplay and art. (Not graphics, because in principle they are fine). Do not throw one away for the “good” of the other aspect.
