I was able to get this to work before but after putting things back to default I can't get this to work again. Even when I manually install this from the 4shared link it does not work. Another mod does though.

I am already developing another texture to the desert as it seems to be the wrost part of the pack.
Also making my own grass.
Feel free to download the textures and modify it also. I will try to get some help at photoshop with a pro friend.
The swamp/marsh part also got improved a little bit, I´ve just balanced the colors between it and the shallow water part.
An update will be available soon.

You did an awesome job with the swamp/marsh/the part of the water that land units can walk over, its by far my favorite, I'd like to try making my own texture pack and if I do you will get all the credit for that

This is def more of a personal preference but I don't like the dry, cracked desert ground (in the third screen shot, lefthand side), it would be great in certain, smaller patches if you were designing a custom map but it appears too much for my liking

Thank you for your feedback. Andy yes, I also like sismicos textures, it looks really smooth. But the beach sand you mentioned I got from sismicos package also. The grass, I got from the ST package linked above, because I thought it was the most realistic Thanks for your sincerity. I tried to get the best of each texture packs and mix it, and also change some that I did not like. With the snow and ice the ideia was to make something more realistic and not too bright, so it does not tire the eyes.
I did all the modifications in two days, in my free time, so I also recognize It still need some more improvments, that´s also why I like to hear opinions.

Could you be more specifc? Which one you dislike the most? So maybe I can improve it. All the textures that I did, I got from real environment images and tried to sew the edges without leaving visible lines. At least they are not pixelated.

Now I'm no expert of course and I didn't actually expect you to reply caring what I said, but I did my best to explain why I didn't like the texture pack and how you might improve it if your really that dedicated which is nice to see, but like you said most of these textures arent your own, pretty much the ugly ones i down voted ages ago actually. I don't want to be more of a buzz kill but there are so many texture packs coming out that people are making at random the choices are hard on which one to run your game with, and unless you make mind blowingly good looking trees or better unit graphics/textures (if thats even possible and I really pray it is) I dont see why anyone would choose your text pack over others, just being totally honest. =/

I dunno what to tell you really I think its just personal preferance. =/ I just don't find any of the textures visually appealing at all, the snow, ice, roads and shallow water is nice but the grass texture is blurry and ugly it looks like smudged green chalk or something. The cracked dessert is dreadful, it just seems really out of place next to the other textures and dark and really obvious, the sand is rather unappealing as well and the beach sand is... well its not sand it looks like brown pebble mud.

Sismicos texture pack and Texture pack replacement update are still by far my favourite texture packs, all the textures match each other and appealingly blend. Sismico's HD green grass texture is esspecially impressive, its smooth and shows off the HD building textures nicely next to them.

Ugh those textures are way more ugly then the pixelated orginal ones I have to be honest, its a vote down for me
