Mediterran tileset (released)

[Trappin]

Hah. manual work using an image editing tool.

But the map palate is easy-peasy to use now.

[ElimiNator]

I allwas make my secondary tile sand, for my tilesets.

[Trappin]

This is why I made Glest Map: Map Editor Palate.

Download the map and view the tileset. The map never changes but tileset elements, textures and models vary between each authors work.

[ElimiNator]

Well this looks very good, Tile set and Map Editor Palate.

[Trappin]

designed a map for this tileset here.

Both nile and oasis are fine.  I like 'oasis' because it is not specific to the nile river region.  It could be southern spain, as in cordoba, the middle east, or polynesia.

I don't think calling Cordoba an oasis very is realistic.
Namely, palm trees are certainly not native to the Iberian peninsula (Portugal + Spain)! They can and have been grown (read "imported") to good looking specimens, most preferably in the southern part of the peninsula, though.
Also, I would not think the earth (or sand) would look that much alike, even at a distance.
No, there are no "oasis" in the Iberian pensinsula because there are no deserts here! Some arid areas yes, deserts no! Hence no oasis either.

Mediterranean is also not a good title - what I said above is just about a rather small part of the "shores" of the Mediterranean...

And it's definitely NOT like the Amazonia! You'd have nothing but trees and trees and more trees in such a tileset! lol

Nile sound good to me. Could possibly be Mesopotamia as well?... Not sure...  But if so, it be used with your Persians faction too, titi.

Anyways, titi, it's looking very good, just for the pics I've seen on the topic - if it's improved since, all the better!

EDIT: Finished a sentece I hadn't finished before.

titi - Are you planning any changes or is this tileset finished?

The quote referring to Cordoba is from Lawrence of Arabia. King Faisal dreams of recapturing the long lost gardens of Cordoba while waxing romantic about the Arabic age of intellectualism in Damascus.

On 23 October, 1916 at Hamra in the Wadi Safra, the first encounter took place between Feisal and Captain T. E. Lawrence, a relatively junior British intelligence officer from Cairo. Lawrence already had a vision of an independent, post-war Arabian state and knew it was essential to find precisely the right man to lead the Arab forces to achieve this.

With the help of Lawrence, Faisal sided with the British army and organised the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire helping to end the Caliphate. After a long siege he conquered Medina, defeating the defense organized by Fakhri Pasha.

Some of Faisal's critics considered fighting alongside Christians as a betrayal to Islam. This motivated Iqbal to write against him. Though Faisal was a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, Arab nationalism and independence, not religion, was his main motivation.

Faisal also worked with the Allies during World War I in their conquest of Greater Syria and the capture of Damascus, where he became part of a new Arab government in 1918.

Currently I'm not planning to change something. Should i change something?
Maybe I lower the background sound volume a bit, but thats all. Or anyone wants me to add/change something?

[Trappin]

Everything seems fine to me. Just wanted to know if any changes are planned which may alter map objects and surfaces.

Forging ahead.
