Do you think we'll be able to use it with any scenario and randoms games? (Like the Nato symbol mod)

- desert
- tundra
- shallow water
as well as the other land types already used in the game.

Status: offline 		Looks Great! I agree that the forest could use some more work. Any way to better high-light the differences between hills vs mountains, the seem to merge into one which is realistic but might be harder to ID in the game?

Now if Vic made the hexes regular instead of elongated (or gave the option), in an upcoming patch ... the last obstacle to true graphical candy will have been resolved.

The woods look a little bit like swamp *g*, but i like them too.

The same thought occured to me about the forest looking a bit like swamp. Could they be made a slightly darker green.. maybe with the tree top canopy emphasized a bit more?

Overall it's looking brilliant though :)

Edit, actually I can see now they look like fir trees from a kind of top down/side angle, so forget what I said about that canopy. They actually look really good.. maybe just a bit darker green? Either way, they are really good! There's just a certain something that needs tweaking.. darker colour is all I can think of.

-again kudos to you.
you and GJK are indeed polishing up a diamond of a game.

before you select side and options, click edit....
