Image comparing original game's graphics to Blue Marble's graphics
Blue Marble is a graphical mod for Civilization IV and its expansions. It was developed by Kai Fiebach (ColdFever of CivFanatics) with help from Firaxis Games.
Blue Marble uses images from NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope to improve the quality of terrain graphics. It also provides options for different themes (which change the font, menu colors, and mouse cursor) and either changes or gives the option to change a variety of other graphical assets, such as the loading screen, advisor and Civilopedia backgrounds, and some of the leaderheads (most notably Darius I, who is given a lighter skin tone and a mustache).
