New railroad graphics (and the area around Moscow is a little different from vanilla). Yay or nay?

Don't like your fortifications. Other than that, looks good.

Ok, fortifications. Any suggestions? Examples from other games that you think got it right? Lemme know, and I will see what I can do.

Quite like the way they are in TOAW4. Here is an exemple:

Cyprus corrected. Famagusta was on the East side of the island.

I like your work very much. This mod is lovely.

I have two comments:
1. Would it be possible to add the motorized dots for the units on which this is applying?

In your mod, I can't see them.

In the vanilla version, you can see them.

2. Could you do the same thing to counterset number 2? I mean, I like your new counters. I am just missing the whiter part at the bottom of each counter like here:

And your new railroad graphics is just wonderful. When do you release it?

Last thing, only for cities with production equal or greater than 10, would it be possible to add an urban shape behind the circle indicating the production points? I like the circle in the center of the hex like what you did. It is just the urban shape a little darker like in the vanilla version that I find interesting to keep indicating a big urban area.

Why don't you reuse the minefield icon to add a bunker inside the blue circle? Perhaps not a blue circle anymore but a brown one. And perhaps a bigger circle can do the trick.

Quick example:

Also, what I don't like in the vanilla version is the port without cities and the railroad going nowhere. By default, could you add a small circle to indicate a city anyway?

I would propose something like this. A circle with a white color inside to distinguish it from the others and maybe a smaller circle than the one in Brest city for example.

What I have done is horrible but this is the kind of thing I was trying to explain. A city view from space even if at this scale, this is maybe not a good idea. Not something big like the vanilla of course.

Thank you

I had already made something like that :mrgreen:

My graphics are always in flux, I tinker with it all the time.
