Ekmek Tile

[primemover]

another thing I've noticed with this tile set: the mini map no longer is color coded for terrain type.

over all i REALLY like the terrain tiles. I think the terrain improvements are a bit hard to tell apart and need to look more like what they are supposed to be. I'm having a hard time recognizing what each one is. They are all so organic looking that sometimes I have a hard time even telling there is an improvement there at all (maybe you wanted it that way...)

The farms are nice looking... but they are a bit large for the scale of the terrain and IMO look out of place as a result (especially when they are right next to a city... huge farm, small city buildings). maybe you could make tiny farms next to the large fields (I would also make the fields look like they have crops in them if I had done this wonderful graphics enhancement).

But of course the details can wait... it must take a lot of time to do something like this. Thanks for your effort.

much of this looks really nice. esp the trees and jungle. I'm not sure I like some of the improvement tiles though... like a boat instead of a fish net and something that looks like a mine instead of a port. is this on purpose?.

the trees are a great improvoemnt

another comment... have we overcome the limit of the til file yet? having two sized mountains as being debated earlier may come in handy if we ever improve the map making feature.

also... this is nitpicky (and also a limit of the til file, ,maybe something for the final version) but it would be fun to see some deciduous forests as well (other than jungle). all the forested areas are coniferous (albeit fabulous looking compared to the old forests... they look very realistic compared to the old).

cheers... Matthew

Oh, I thought this included the cities.

[Ekmek]

I think you already have this version EPW...cities will come later

I shall try it out and report back. The city and mountains look very good in the screenshot.

Thanks Protra3211

I added a higher peak to the polar mountains and they still have several smaller peaks here:

I think this is the final cut...

Very Nice

The map seems to have a more life like apperance. More like Sim City.Liked the g file more -tall mountains work the best. The farm houses are a nice touch . Thank you so for your hard work . Hope this becomes part of the new patch thats being worked on.

[EPW]

I liked how the tall mountains were...tall. But they lacked any variation. So I guess making the shorter ones taller would help.

[Ekmek]

I tried with the variation rule but no luck. I opted for the shorter ones because they are more jagged and random loking than the single peak very tall one. Which do you prefer? I think I can make the "shorter" mountains taller

[EPW]

I noticed that you changed the polar mountains. Is their any way to make a mixture of the taller mountains and the shorter mountains?

[Ekmek]

Minor tweaks...
