<r>Ok, I'll desaturate some of the brighter colors in the terran sets (most notably the green, I've been playing too much AoW2 lately) and definitely the water in savannah1 for the next version.

Topografix Mod for ToS:WS is here!

<r>Well, I promised (threatened?) to do it months ago and it has finally begun.<br/>

I always wondered what the terrain in WS would look like with the height gradients reversed; that is, light high ground and dark low ground instead of vice versa. After some experimenting, I was so pleased ...

Wow, by the time you apply the average gaming review magazine curve, I'd say that 79% equates to about 90%. :D

PC Gamer has always been notorious for having one of the toughest-to-please bunch of reviewers in the biz. 79% is a great score to get from them.

Ahhh! I'm only on mission 3! I'll have it done by this weekend. Then I'll probably start another squad and do the campaigns all over again.

This is also my favorite campaign so far. I think Marga should make a sequel for it. ;)

Thanks for the list, Larkin. Yes, take a well-deserved break!

But I didn't see that you've fixed ANY of those game-breaking or CTD bugs! Oh, I forgot. There ARE no game-breaking or CTD bugs. :D

Looking forward to the patch... er... UPGRADE.

I only use cheats for games that I'm sick of, and usually only for the last couple of sessions before I stop playing the game forever.

I personally wouldn't have any use for such a thing with WS.

A good question. And what exactly is the amount of damage reduction for a titan with his shield up when he's caught in a dying titan's blast radius? I assume it's dependent on the shield quality, but what is the base calculation?
