**new Terrain Graphics** Put an end to popups!

Hi all !

Well, at the beginning i just wanted to redraw the mountains graphics , but finally , i 've changed much more things .

All is far from perfect , all textures don't reloop smoothly and some trees group are too bigs. I will update this post with the latest modifications. But i think it's playable. I hope you like it and i'am expecting all your critics.

You can download the set here ---

and some screenshots --- ( You could also see some previews of my future units in civfanatics forum )

I am amazed! Those are the nicest terrain graphics I have seen by far. Very well done mate! Wow. My only suggestion would be to rework the irrigation. Everything else looks good though.

Could I use them in a mod I am compiling?

those are great, gives a real earth feel to it

constructive cristism:

the edges of the snow needs to be reworked
the plains are too dark and too plain, they look dead, i think they need to look more 'alive' rather than desolate.
the mountains are great, almost perfect, might be too dark? I'm not sure..
leave the ocean as it is, or maybe add some depth or reflection to it somehow. i've been trying to do this, but its quite hard and maybe some coast waves?
I find the tree's a wee bit dark or too few. I notice there are about 3 or 4 tree's per tile, i'm not sure what you could do; but then again, they are really good, just maybe there is something you could do to make it better.

love the mountains, love the desert, love the grassland and the ice floating around the snow terrain, (didn't think of that!), love the hills.

very good, very earthy, but just might be too earthy. The thing about creating terrain for Civ, is that it's easy to make a mess of it, it's not clear, neither is earth, but it can get difficult to play. Somehow you need to blend in clarity and the natural look of earth into one.

Also the palette is quite different from that of the units, cities, resources, etc. You might want to brighten up the terrain a bit (not because it looks bad per se, but because it clashes with the rest of the game).

Got spare money?

Wow. Cool. Are some of the grfx from the Heroes of Might & Magic series? It has a real similar look and I'm a sucker for those grfx. I don't have IV yet, but III was great.

Add this to Snoopy's revamped cities, wow! I wonder how the combo will look. As soon as I get my game back, I'm going to test it out!

No slight to Snoopy, his terrain grfx are awesome too, but the things that push me more in this direction are the sparser trees, deciduous trees and the great mountains.

a couple of things tho:
-the plains are a bit too dark and desolate
-the water looks too "flat", could be just the darkness doing that
-generally dark, not a very cheery atmosphere
-something weird with some of the tile edges
-some jungle tiles "clumpy"
-i think you have some irrigition grfx that are bright neon green (near Antium), these are probably too bright, they clash with the rest of the tiles, otherwise the irrigation grfx are great!

great work! keep it up!

Is it possible to combine your graphics with them of snoopy? (e.g. only take your mountains, or your grassland)

thanks very much for all your critics ! It's very interesting , apparently , the major problem is the darkness , ok i'll modify this.
And i'll make more differents types of irrigation for desert and tundra.
I'll add also some vegetations to plains.
Well , the flat water was a choice to have a " satellite view " looking for the game.But if you prefer textured water , no problem.
All the graphics in this mod are 100 % mine , ( with the Firaxis base for sure , the coast drawing is very nice , and i didn't change it , maybe later , i'll add some coastal cliffs )

Bye !

I think the satellite view is a really good idea, it seems to make it look right.

LOVE the mountains, icebergs, and jungles. I will try mixing your graphics with snoopys and see how it looks mixed. You guys should work together since you both obviously have a LOT of talent.

I was using Snoopys latest Graphics mod in full. I replaced the mountains, Snow-capped mountains with Womocks. I also replaced 2 of snoops Grassland irrigation with Womocks. I kept snoopys forest mountains and jungle mountains, resulting in four mountain colors!! (tan, white, grey, red). I am absolutely no good at graphics, so this a cut and paste job (I did increase the brightness of womock mountains to get the grass colors closer) I could not get the trees or icebergs to work, so I am sticking with snoopys. Here is what it looks like:

Keep in mind you need to add all of Snoopys modpack first. Then just overwrite Mountains, Snowcapped mountains, and irrigation with the attached files. The mountain files are Womocks with the brightness increased 20%. The color is still a little off but it is close. The irrigation is Snoopys, with 2 variations cut from Womocks.

I still would like to green-up the small forests/jungles in Womocks pack (They are 2 black for this mix) and replace them over Snoopys, keeping Snoopys large forests/Jungles. Snoopys make really good thick vegetation, but some areas have sparse trees like in Womocks, so a mix would be good. I would love to also add the Icebergs in Womocks, but the colors in the 2 mods are just too different for to mess with.

Gelvan, I don't have photoshop either, I just used the crappy Microsoft Photo Editor that came with windows to lighten the pics and cut/paste. All original graphics I have unfortunately attempted to do look like those of a drunk, blind five year old not using his dominant hand.

These graphics were originally designed by Womock and Snoopy
