Put an end to popups!

When I started this work, one month ago, I was trying to solve two problems with sn00py irrigation:


  • Coast irrigation being invaded by the water

  • The small square fields makes tiles recognition difficult, you often need to activate the grid


First thing I did to prevent this was to fill each tile with one single field, trying to respect the shape from the original irrigations. Then I went with the idea of putting edges around each tile. After looking some photographs I decided to give stone walls for plains, bushes for grasslands and irrig. ditch for desert tiles.

After some checks, parts of the desert's edge were removed (bottom & inner sides), trying that they seem a net of channels. Then I had to create gaps through walls and bushes because roads and trains need to pass between tiles. That allow all-field access!

Finally the more enjoyable part started: adding details, modifying some from other graphics mods. Everything has been put so they don't overlap with other stuff like railroads, bonus icons or water. I tried to keep the tile as cleared as possible.

Now irrig. grassland has various types of trees at their borders, there are wells for deserts and plains, deserts has palms and some "jaimas" (canvas) and plains has stables with pigs, sheeps and of course, black bulls

(note: now there is just one tile with bulls, number reduced after the screenshots were taken)

Wonderful work Niessuh , I am thinking to add these irrigations to my own compilation.

Only a suggestion, I see them too regular, perhaps you can improve that aspect.

Para que me entiendas mejor, las formas cuadradas quizá son demasiado "cuadradas", quizá quedaría mejor introduciendo algo de irregularidad en las formas, como en las dos primeras fotos que has puesto.

The problem is that It has to follow the border because of the overlapping, if don't It becomes very messy

I was about to give up and design my own...then I found these.

I like how they are much easier to sopt than the native graphics, yet maintain the ability to not take over the map, which happens with so many of the other terrain mods.

It also is much more "civilized" in appearance - it shows that the people are working the land, taming nature, and using it grow food, rather than building some dykes and just flooding the area!

Excellent work!
