I'll agree, they don't have good smoothing (even AOE 2 has better), I'm not trying to get the same exact thing as them.
They definitely focused more on other aspects of the game, the ai is quite well and its all very well balanced.

Here is the same, only zoomed out further (clearly the terrain system needed to be fast - considering each player had upto 600 military units and unlimited peasant population, thats alot of stuff to draw.)

Most of the World Creator images I saw had little color or detail, and most had bits that were un-proportional.
EDIT:
Well ok, but seriously, I was referring to cubes, spheres and models etc.
