New Terrain Borders
« on: December 27, 2010, 09:01:14 PM »
So I got sick of the native ones and made my own.

Give me some feedback on them:




How do they feel?

Actually the screens were taken on a smaller size map. I first referenced it against a bigger map, so I guess I really didnt have the smallers in mind.

So im adjusting the resolution now and will post results.

Maybe the terrain color should look more like the border color.

Same feeling, on the second picture it looks better.

Since it seems a bit too blurred it doesn't blend in so well..

maybe a better definition background image would suffice?

I'm not sure if that's the problem though. Either way I think it's somewhat a better imersion attempt than native's borders. Nice iniciative.

It is good as it is. The different color transmits a feeling of those mountains being really far away (like in really far away fog)
The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.

It is the 'background' you need to be looking at. It is the hills beyond the map itself,, on the horizon, hills which are simply 2D and unreachable for the player. They look more realistic than the native borders.

No it's not. Fog of war is the ambiguity of the outcome of the battle felt by its participants.
