Xaver, mate, you have to pay attention who's material to read ;) Plus -it is fairly easy to add in some beveling textures - I did that on some of the Squad Battles material I had been playing around with. I can't say that I felt all that welcome here from the community, when I was working on that SB stuff -so I mean fair enough... I will just put together something on my own when I feel like it. I doubt it will look like the below ... haven't thought about it, but if anyone has followed my material in the past 12-18 months (like on FB with screenshots) - I think each scale needs its own distinct look and feel.
The maps, themselves, were done by Nick Bell -and he did a great job. The art... hrm, that's a tough one. I do have a mod put together, as there are some files that are only able to be used in Seven Years War. Since they can't be used in other titles, in order to come up with some sort of continuity, some files had to be changed. There are still some tweaks I want to make for the next title.

And if interested you can spot some spoilers for the REN update in the user manual file ... the majority of which I had ample time to take on while recovering from a serious injury that I got playing hockey.

I did the towns more in the style of the 70's SPI titles, as I thought that they fit the scale better.
