Tiles: how to avoid visual patterns?

[Darkholme]

Sorry for my bad English 

Im really new to textures, so any help is welcome. Is it possible to make tiles with two kinds of terrain and avoid being able to see a pattern when all the tiles are together? This was my first try (uploaded in x256):



(I used this original: http://www.bencloward.com/textures/snow02.jpg)

Right now the tiles blend perfectly, and I have aprtially avoided the "pattern". But it is still obvious. Should I just work on it until there is none, or is that impossible to achieve? If so, I guess the only solution would be making grass and snow (for this example) completely diferent tiles, right?  Something like this, from warcraft 3:

Depending on what your intent is when creating the tileset, you may want to have a snow/grass combination texture. Additionally Glest supports multiple textures for a single surface, and you can even set the frequency that a particular texture will be used. If you look at the forest tileset's XML file, you'll see that the texture with a stone in it is used very infrequently, only a small percentage of the "grass" texture will use that image.

If your goal is a melting winter, you'll need a grass-to-snow texture. I don't see anything wrong with that.
