They look excellent! One question, tho - Can I use this to mod my game without the resources with the letter next to them? I'd be content with just the resource as it appears in the default, the letter next to it is a bit distracting... Is there a file to exclude for this?

The resource icons aren't touched by this mod, only the terrain graphics. The resource icons in the example picture were because he's using another mod for that one, so you're safe.

I actually prefer your older terrain graphics. The mismatched Mountains are not good, the trees in the rivers and floodplain are distracting, and I miss the irrigation graphics (Did you ever do one for Tundra? I don't have it and have been using Zeb's which doesn't quite fit...).

You are still the terrain master, though - cuz nothing else out there even compares do your work!

I'll try finish them today, because I'd like to get them done and move on to some unit creating. It's quite time consuming doing the cities, but luckily the hard parts are out of the way, I only have to do 3 more industrial eras, add a bit more life to Euro and touch up the smaller cities (which doesn't take long at all).


Amesjustin, when I started making these graphics, I said to myself that I will not try to please everyone else but myself; this way if someone complains, I don't have to feel that I should do something about it. What I have given you now, is what it is and what it always will be, I'm not going back to fix anything or redo anything. Because I am happy with the way it is now. The reasons why I put tree's on rivers is so that the river doesn't float, the reason tree's overlap the coast is because if I made the tree's smaller, they wouldn't clump together like they do now and the reason the mountains aren't all grey is because not all mountains are grey in the real world, so it makes for some correct variety and kills the dullness.

I will be doing a completely new graphics mod soon, I think i'll call it "CleanMod" because thats kind of what it will be like. It'll be like some girls fairytale utopia where everything is perfect.

btw I did do the irrigation for all the terrains required, but I didn't include them in the graphics mod becoz I didn't much like the colours I used, I want to go back and redo them.

[Amesjustin]

Snoopy,

Didn't mean to upset you, just throwing in my 2 cents... You are the best at the terrain graphics. Sorry.

I decided to install your entire pack and it turns oot I do like it better. In your screenshot above, you use a really cool plains graphic - where can we get that?
