9 tile Planets

[kobayashi]

Just what the title says (in this case Earth, VSD included just to show the relative size of planets to units). What do you think?

Jesus, that looks stunning.

Great work Kobay. It looks like a work of art. I could have something like that hanging on my wall

[Goingonit]

Sweet. Do all the planets look the same (or maybe 2 types, hills/mountains)?

[kobayashi]

I came up with the idea to allow sizeable planets (cities) without having supporting nearby planets which land units could hop to.

Too bad this means there are onyl three types of planets (hills, mountains and forests). Probably four when I piece together the right combo of rivers, river mouths and the left over single mt, hill and forest tiles.

Is that normal zoom? At any rate, it looks very impressive.

[BeBMan]

Yep, looks really good

Hm, there should be more different types possible, you can also use normal terrain squares in that way...

[kobayashi]

Don't know what you mean? Sacrifice 9 terrains to make another planet type?

I think four planet types as I mentioned above is roughly the max. Besides, I'll be needing various terains for things like moons, wormholes, galactic barriers etc for the project the planets are intended for.

for scale, think of the white cross as one tile.

Nice looking, but that's nothing new...

I did it in my recent Wing Commander scenario and I know I got the idea from somebody else.

I did it mostly for stars and large gaseous planets for scale.

Looks nice though.

He's doing his Stargate SG-1 scenario! Yay!

Just where might one get this Wing Commander - I would like to steal the wormhole looking river.
