thanks guys!
for now there is nothing difficult
... the difficult aftermath.
I have to solve some problems with rendering and exporting, then everything will will spin as machine gun bullets.

What is really needed:

other? (But really missing tile, not too extreme things like the field with the chickens, pink peach trees, or grazing of sheep, ok )

Going back a while, requests for ruined bridges and/or historical bridges (Arnhem et al), villages. small and dispersed trees/forests (not as concentrated as they are now. A volcano? (I have Mt Vesuvius on the Salerno map) Ruins of Pompeii? (Same map) Nah, kidding - those last two are very specialised.

+1

Knowing that the production of graphical assets is a lot of work Iam not really sure if we should request to many specialised tiles which only worth for specific areas...its like wasting Massis time as they only get used one or twice
On the other hand if the tile set gets to big the scrolling in the editor to get to the desired tile gets very tedious...If somebody would ask me I would try to focus more on new tiles which cold be used in literally all scenarios and all areas

for people to realize its a coal mine I would try to make a mix between open pit mine with these huge machines and a coal mine building complex with loading station- It could be in the stations overlay but I would use it over a city hex for connect it to the rail net
I add some photos:

typical submarine bunkers in Brest

ahaha no ruins of Pompeii complex and too detailed.. I do not think it is useful

-Volcano is a good idea we can use it not difficult. I do it in 10 minutes (even though I will end up putting 10 hours, ... ihihi).
-Historic bridges .. Good. they can do 2 or 3 (if you have better photos) integrate them into stationlayer ...
-scattered trees: no problem

chris10 thanks for the photos, I will do my best to recreate these places.

volcano...
too bad? or it can go?

Molto bello Massi

...cool...I wonder..how many volcanos there are in Europe ?
There is 3 in Italy and 4 in Greece

I found some nice pics of oilfields around 1920-1945

The first is a Baku Oil Field during WWII

only 1 of the volcano is more than enough even to do battle for the ring
I think I'll end up having a heart attack

Massi...there is no need to do any of these tiles...only if you feel like it...this is all or the fun
in any way there is no hurry with anything

I love the strokes
no problem chris
I enjoy it

hexagons in production

-volcano 100%
-city ruins 100%
-9 new city hex added and modified and slightly improved 100%
-russian house: (in process) 50%
-small and dispersed trees/forests 90%
-historical bridges (in process)
-Oil Fields" tile with shaft towers (in process)
-Coal Mine Complex (in process)
-Submarine Port" with all these bunkers (in process)

It seems your fabbrica is manufacturing tiles at full speed.
It must be a good business, the demanding is big.

yeah haha

A variety of small Russian churches, some different factories (large, medium, small), oil fields proportionate to scale (not like DMP) and with old style wooden derrick structure, blown bridges, maybe some good trenches or Anti-Tank ditches (which were very deep and wide) and fortification works. Please be sure to make Russian/Ukraine houses and buildings with both wooded and plastered variety with thatched roofs also. Smaller villages had entirely thatched roof houses, barns, etc. Only the churches were different, sometimes wooden.

yea yea
ok a shopping bag is full and heavy.
small and dispersed trees/forests are good?

Great work, Massi.

Yes, I have been through it before and I will glady do it again with joy because the last time I did it with my maps, they became something totally different and I was truly truly thrilled with the result. This time, I know it will even be more so. This is the kind of stuff "dreams are made of" to coin a phrase and my head goes wild with imagination with these kinds of tiles.

This is almost as exciting as a new woman can be. I'm already running a little on adrenalin.

Massi Destruction: I have learned that ANYTHING you produce is not only good, it is exceptionally excellent. Splendido!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks Flank
were also learning to speak Italian hehe

Looking good! What do a few hexes of these look like? If we make a whole forest of them they may not look quite right. From what I can see they are what I envisaged.

You did a volcano! LOL, I was joking but you have come through. Mt Vesuvius, Etna or Mount Doom - covered.

El Conduro, he had a number of different dense forest and other forest tiles of several seasons in the last mod. Check your tiles from it and I think combined with these you will be able to do some outstanding forests.
