There are no Mud Forest graphics in the game, so during Mud seasons all forests will remain green.

There are Mud Woods graphics and I have modded them.

Here are the three zoom levels to show the direction I am taking.

Any suggestions for changes welcome as I go back to work in the morning, so things will slow down after today.

Status: offline 		Great work on the old boardgame style terain graphics. Very interesting to see them progress and change. Adding the new hex outline graphics has definitely improved things. I'm not too keen on the the Forest graphics as the green is too fluorescent and too bright compared to the rest of the tiles. The original graphics may be better?

By the way it looks like Maikop is missing its "P" on the map?

Cheers Ian.

I'll look at maybe toning down the Forest a bit - I do agree. However, I want to stay as true as possible to the Board Game paradigm and avoid using too many of the original graphics.

The map text isn't accessible to a modder, so I can't fix the missing 'P' or add any place names.

Mark

I will upload Version 1.3 of both the TAN and GREEN versions of the Mod shortly.

Yes I tried that with trees like Fire in the East - I guess that's what you are thinking about (see image). Swamps are easy - just straight lines, but making nice looking tree shapes on the PC was hard and I had too many other tasks.

We can adjust this once the big jobs are completed, but I actually like the DC trees.

I can make an optional tree mod that you can activate in JSGME...

Traditional board game forests. Which is better?

Personally, I like this look, but we have to lose the farms because they clash with the transparent forests.

I decided to make this my default set as it is closer to a board game look. Also, the simpler graphics seem to make the game load faster.

I do have things left to fix (and I found and fixed a big winter/mud graphics problem in the mountain hexes) so I am uploading Version 2.0 now in a more user friendly download and install format - just one file to download, numbered install file sequence.
