PzC North Africa Graphics

[Strela]

As usual, I have decided to open a can of worms.

I have been diligently working on the remaining three North Africa titles, updating them to Gold standard.

Unlike the European titles, completely new terrain and other graphics were required. This has added quite a bit to the update cycle.

With Panzer Battles North Africa recently released, I decided to use those graphics as the basis for the update. With that in mind here is an example of how the graphics look in El Alamein (all images can be right clicked to see full size);




The issue, I realised as I moved forward is that we have done the graphics in Panzer battles with an emphasis on a more 'natural' look, while all the Panzer Campaign Gold maps are based on a more 'cartographic' look, i.e a stylised map. Going that direction, we would have a map more like this;



I'd like to get people's opinion on which they feel is the better (or more appropriate) look? I do have the option on defaulting to one (probably the cartographic), but including both so players can choose dependent on feedback.


For a further view, I had posted elsewhere some in game shots using the Panzer Battles look, I'm only including these as I had done them previously. They are shots from the two brand new campaign scenarios included in El Alamein;












And as a special teaser, here is a snippet of the Tunisia map, which is different again as it was essentially arable (but arid) land;



Thanks,
