That's a great idea. Unfortunately I don't think the two forest densities are split in the graphics at this stage. All I can do is replace the existing graphics files.

DasTactic,
They are separate.

Checkout folders
...\Graphics\shadowBig\Forests (actually heavy forests)
vs.
...\Graphics\shadowBig\Woods (actually forests)

Thanks Mark. :) I'll look into it.

Might be a dumb question, but where do I extract file to? Any help would be appreciated
Just extract the GraphicsAlt directory into the root directory of the game and the graphics will be used instead of the the in-game graphics.

Vic, this (or something like this mod) really needs to be put into the game and made toggleable.

Yes, I agree.

I think it would probably require an additional image layer in the game-engine specifically for terrain icons. Then the entire layer could be turned on or off with a single hot-key.

I really like what DasTactic has done here; it's very useful. But for me, I find all the icons a distracting clutter if they are there all the time. Here's to hoping Vic notices this thread.

I've updated the light forests now to include just the single icon. I think it looks good. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

I've also added graphics that adds a border around the unit tokens to make it easier to see them when they stack but this has to replace the in-game graphics of the 'graphics' directory.

I agree, it should go to the game as default with a toggle.

@Vic - +1 for a toggle! [:)]

Also @Dastactic, I've been playing since boxing day and have your streams on my second monitor. Absolutely addicted to this game like nothing else.

My surprise GOTY for sure.
I've been beta testing myself for decades.

Should definitely have a togglable icon overlay, with how important the environment is and how it can blend in so badly half the time.

Really helps with map readability. Find myself taking terrain into account far more often now the it is clearly visible on the map.

Dastactic is on ko-fi now. Apparently he never updated the opening post.
