"Wooded hills" provide different resources from "verdant hills", for example, but use the same sprite and often exist in the same general area. If we release a beta without doing anything about this, I can promise it'll generate alot of negative buzz among veteran users. For starters, I will make ugly-but-usable tweaks to the current default tilesets, while trying to recruit the services of our artist community. > - We will branch S2_3 from S2_2 branch some time after editor is in. > 2.3 will contain remaining features earlier planned for S2_2 and some > minor new ones (We really should provide IPv6 version soon.
