| Description: |
This is a modification to the railroads.pcx file (under art/terrain/railroads.pcx) which will tidy up the extensive rail networks that are a feature of most modern empires. Although the graphics changes may seem subtle, the impact on the overall feel of the game as you play is quite significant, and there is much more sense of order in seeing an empire grow through the modern ages. Note that rail tiles which are not connected in ALL directions will not be affected, so the changes will not be evident in "undeveloped" rail networks, or in rail tiles at the edge of a network. The graphics for these seem fine to me, and do not need to be modified. "What's different?" you might ask. The changes may seem minor at first, but the new tesselation puts much more emphasis on horizontals and interleaving diagonals, so that when viewed from a wider perspective there is greater coherency and structure to city-railroad sprawls. Many of the tiles which were replaced had sections where east and west would not meet (see above), and had unnecessary meandering and curling which made the railroads seem more like spaghetti. This has been mostly reduced, and curves have been limited to simpler, less angulated geometric arcs. |
