Thanks a lot, great you like it.

This is totally MP compatible, but terrains are not shared, so you will be the only one seing them.

I have a general modding guid , but terrains are a fairly small point there for they are technically.

What I did on the artistic side was find cool tiled images and then work with them. So the very first base is not done by me. I then used masks from the original terrains and used Paint.NET and Photoshop to merge layers and layers of different terrains and previously worked on terrains and effect/structure images with varying settings, percentages, merge modes, color/constrast/lightning changes and more antil the results pleased me - some terrains literally consist of dozens of arranged layers that may themselves do too.

The biggest point I have to make - not every terrain has to be most breathtaking, a collection of great terrains doesn't make a great terrain set. They have to blend well and make the others shine. So a terrain not the best option on its own might be exactly what you want to complement all your others to round up your set and make it pop more.
I also descided on a set of maps (random maps and scenarios) that cover most possible constellations to ensure the final set works on all those occasions (and redid my terrains when I experienced new ones - like when I learned a lot of people used single farm terrain tiles to scatter in dirt ones to diverify the landscape and realised my terrains didn't cover this).

Three things

1 This is bloody awesome, mate!

2 Can I use this in Multiplayer?

3 Do you have a tutorial to do this stuff? I'd like to tinker with maybe making a Frostpunk theme

I'm already testing first private betas of the upcoming overhaul for the mod manager. I'm looking forward to it beeing finished this week, so I hope to be able to upgrade all my mods at the weekend. :)

ok I understand, but still these texture packs are f*cking awesome.

Yes, I know.

But that's REALLY time consuming (even when reusing images from SW GB).
So I'll only start to do so in case I'm sure to finish it. ;)

Quick suggestion, maybe you sould try to reskin the buildings too.

oh ok :( luckly i did that last night before i went to bed :D

Before verifying your game cache, delete the AoE\data\slp folder.
This has to be done for AoEs mod system uses files steam doesn't take care of, so you have to do so manually. :(

i downloaded it and the i removed it after a while and the berry bush and the gold and stone are still the smae textures plz help :/

Thanks a lot! :)

good to see that youve made so many improvments to the game and its community

and for that i give you the greatest of thanks

Cool
