Overall it looks good. The only comment I have is that I liked the high mountains in the previous edition. The last one was too white. The hvy forests looked better. I am looking forward to seeing this one released. If you decide to release the mod as is, you may want to allow us to use the previous high mountains as an option. Thanks for your hard work.

Beautiful work! I love this game and how it can be customized in many ways. It is a true wargame construction kit.

I read your comment on the bug thread. I am curious as to why you were getting that bug. In substituting sprikes I had no problems. It was trying to add additional sprikes that I was getting the bug. Are you adding new terrain sprites with your mod? I am working on a new scenario and the bug has ground me to a halt. Hopefully we will get the 1.02 beta tomorrow. Looking forward to your mod.

I am also blocked in my work....Yes, i hope this patch will Solve the problem....

Hope your mod will be posted soon and many thanks for it.

looks great. amazing job. i should check the forums first for graphical artists for next game.

for the towns i would make them stand out more color wise and if possible let them also influence the edges of neighbouring hexes so they are better visible if units are on top.

kind regards,
vic

I also planned to redo the entire user interface .... in the near future ...
For the city and town, i thought somewhat darker Sprite ...

well you can have two sprites for any landscape sprite. One which is drawn before any neighbouring hex influences are painted on the hex, and one which is drawn after. If you do a top down look i think it would be smart to have a fully transparent graphic as the second sprite for towns.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

but if you make sure the land always goes to the corners of the hex then the rivers will fit right?

Very nice job, but why do you want to make a masterfile ?? What we need is a zipped file with all the png to replace all those in graphics/default/plain, lightforest etc... dirs !
