Would you like to buy a bridge?

I just got back from a week in SF over Easter, so this is a nice reminder of our trip. It's pretty accurate, and impressive. Just how usable is it, scenario wise?

[:) Smiley]

Well, these graphics are being made for a San Francisco based scenario.

I have one question at this point- does changeterrain preserve rivers?

Hmm, that's a good idea, I'll give it a try.

EDIT: Works!

Not only that, but the non-intersecting river tiles have now been freed up for use as other things... I'm thinking Tunnels.

Yeah, that was what I meant. Glad that it worked (and that there's people here who can clarify my ramblings, thanks Boco)

I'm waiting to see the new graphics

I'm guessing yes. But a changeterrain to ocean and then back would probably delete it.

Very very cool.

So ships will still be able to cross 'under' the lower horizontal 'bridge' just not the two upper angled 'bridges'?

The angled bridges aren't crossable, but if you look at the top left, the surrounding terrain has been adjusted to make a strait.

Current progress on Terrain1.gif

The Glacier terrain is now University, and you will be able to build these high-value terrain squares by researching technologies that trigger Changeterrain.

The straight line river tiles have been turned into Tunnels. Railroad tiles link the tunnel mouth to adjacent freeway tiles.

RIght now I'm using the default hill terrain tinted green. Does anyone have some hills that will look decent even when placed in a big mass?

[:) Smiley]

While the corner rivers are used to make Downtown.

This leaves the single river (the mini-lake) unused for the time being, though I've got an idea for it in conjunction with the two unused vertical railroad tiles.

I prefer these, mostly with the trees.

How about the 3rd terrain from the top in this one:

(I'd have nicely cut out the hills, like Arthedain did but I don't have any decent image editor on this computer )

It's looking bloody marvellous, by the way... But isn't there a corner of the coast tiles missing, judging from that last screenshot?

[typhoon]

Bloody marvellous? You can actually see the Coit tower

'Frickin Genius' is a more suitable description.

The top and bottom coast corners need to be blank, or they will show up alongside the horizontal bridges.

Actually Merc, all I used was Paint.

Btw did I mail you back saying thanks? I recall doing it but I just thought of it and got unsure. Anyways, thanks for your help.

[Mercator]

I tried using Paint, but it screwed up the palette...

Yes, you did mail me.
In fact, I only just checked my mail. I was about to reply, but I guess I won't have to do that anymore.

Good luck with it
