I adjusted the check-board pillar tile slightly, and the core brightness is now in-between the previous two options.

if floor is smoothed, then why it would look like stone brick road? i don't dig it.
"dig it" - get it? hehe.

anyway. i voted for "Old '+' design" or something of equivalent. but not the bricks.

also posted above screen with rives - looks more realistic as light blue on the sides, gives impression of river shores.

Would a flat smoothed floor that becomes bricks when engraved be better? (That would also mean all + characters would become flat squares. TRUETYPE, SAVE US!)

Too. Many. Options.

I think maybe if there were a tileset made for the express purpose of maps, the thin stream tiles could be made a touch thicker, and the exact colors messed with slightly, to produce a better effect, not that there should be actual "transitions".

I might try messing with this, myself, using the nifty round curves.  But it'll probably end up looking bad comming from me.

Biggest issue is the doors.  They are, of course, doors, and they work well for doors.  But as lakes they kind of fail... hard...

[Phoebus]

Doors are used for river crosses. + (No way I sacrifice doors for a minor world map improvement.)

These new walls look very good in-game, particularly a great improvement for bridges. The sharp/crenelated version are more dwarf-like thou.

Edit: Please don't call PETA on me.

Similar to the old + smoothed floor without the +. Then when you engrave the bricks would show.

I like the idea of going from rough stone floors (basically dirt floor look) -> brick look (like it is now) -> to smooth "tiled" floor look ( '+' look or the old diamond look ).

I liked how in the old set the engraved floors looked very different from the smoothed floors. Helps it stand out and I think that the tiled look reminds me of marble flooring.
