Fantastic map tiles MCC! Gotta love it!
Fort McMadCow is ready to withstand any assault, or it would be if it wasn't in ruins due to the incident with the pizza delivery service not being able to find the door. Which is all to say here is the sampler image of all the pieces I did for fortifications, should match up nicely with the forest tiles. I think its now time to poke at the tree city again.

Here is my latest greatest attempt at the setup for a tree based city. Though the foreground and background blend a bit (the entry level ones will have ground on them rather than the foliage background on this one) I think that's OK as the paths are still highly visible and the over layer of foliage that would block line of sight seems well enough defined to me at least, though if you disagree I'd be interested to hear it.

After all of the debate concerning this tree city, I think it's turned out very nicely. Good job, Mad.
OK tree city sampler. Thanks for all the help and insight that made an initially weak attempt look far more passable. Only a few more sets of these planned, swamps, desserts, and some more countryside buildings.

OK next up on my chopping block is deserts (versus desserts which would be an awesome setting for an epic battle but doesn't seem in high demand). Anything wrong or off here? The plants are only so so, but my method allows for a lot of customization at the cost of some of some quality foliage wise but do let me know if they are so off as to be distracting.

The foliage looks a little dark, almost as if they were meant to be pits in the ground, but the textures themselves work really well together.
Did you do all this in merely 2 months? Thats realy impressive!
Thanks jkat718, guess my screen settings are a bit funky, I always have it turned down a ton which can lower the contrast on things a bit much.
Yes its a homage to the spare time I am currently blessed with and the higher speed one can do encounter maps at rather than regional maps.
What kind of monitor do you use, just curious. I'm loving the look of these desert tiles.
