Wow Tide - you could be in big trouble.....!

As people have seen there are new map graphics that have been shown. These have already made it into the new Tiller Mobile App's, but with (only) slightly less detail due to the form factor.

Xaver's shot is from a PC version, so is a good indicator of the direction we are going with the map's. Personally, I am finding that the pseudo '3D' a great way to show the difference between the height levels. We did try the terrain in a single colour, but came back to the different colour per level. As an additional comment, you can still turn contours on if you want to accentuate the contour lines further. With the height levels clearer it is much easier to understand line of sight and other terrain dependant factors.

Finally, here is today's tease.

We have removed the 'counters' that were used to represent fortifications and other structures. These are now built 'into' the map. You can see an example I created to demonstrate this below. The different coloured hexes are there so you can see the coloured corners (and the type of fortification by the colour) when there is a stack of (square) counters in the hex.
