Not sure about placing some on land. In this instance we might need to create a new feature type that is specifically "trees in water" or something, which was a previous suggestion for how this would be done. Definitely agree that the current trees look strange on water, though. >> > I think Swamp could have further improvements by changing the tree >> > tile to be a large mangrove tile instead. > > While swamp trees in water look better in water, they indeed do look ugly. > Let's use completely different tiles for them instead.

I guess it really depends on what sort of tiles we get! Speaking of tiles: my non-crawl friend who drew a few monster tiles earlier expressed an interest when I mentioned our needing a new tree tiles; they're likewise very interested in botany and consider trees something of a specialty. So, they might be able to do one for us! -Jude ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Crawl-ref-discuss mailing list Crawl-ref-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/crawl-ref-discuss
