Really like it..but I still think for each elevation you should make the pale highlight abit darker than the previous one..at the moment as it's as pale as the previous land colour it makes it hard to deterimne the height level..I'd make that outline darker for each level.

Hope you understand what I mean.

Love the City\town, fields and forests..

Holy CRAP!!!!![X(]

Nick, those look amazing. Would you be so kind as to share some tips or maybe even you template. In using Photoshop, but everything I produce looks horrible in comparison.

Thank you for the great new maps ! I agree with Wodin, more delineation in the map contour elevations would be helpful for us old guys.

I can possibly post the photoshop file, but it is a very large file....
and I have to think about the posibility to make it public or not ....
Who knows .... if Matrix Games offered me to buy all my maps lol .... .....

Nick,

Superb job on the maps. I will definitely be downloading these. Hopefully the guys at Matrix will also look into them. The whole gaming experience with the new map in enhanced massively.

GREAT MOD!!! thanks a lot, with this i can have eyes on my retirement [:D]

Where i can sacrifice virgins in your honor Nick69??? [&o]

EDIT: talking about elevation... is possible a submod where we can see them with a hex border??? i remember see in the forum an image of this... your mod offer a artistic way to see elevations but sometimes is hard notice them... i think that you can use diferent borders to diference elevations for example but apart this great job.

+1 Impressive job...

[wodin]

Good god Nick thats a work of art my friend.

I thought the game would have used some sort of symbol set that was all linked to a Terrain effect mechanic..so you just had to alter the symbol set and all the maps would then use the new symbols..is this not the case?

[TigerTC]

Nice job.

[MikeGER]

THX ! for the elevations enhancement[:)]

there is only one minor thing that distract me (and maybe just me with my odd eyes)

the water bodys looks like they were sitting above the plain, as a 3d-object, not sunken/carved into... it looks like a trace of a paste, or thick oilpaint on top of a painting ...but i have realy no idea how this visual trick happens or how to change it... maybe its the shadow casting...

Does anboydy else see it?
