The issue is the new trees for the Mediterranean tile set and the way the edging for woods is done. Currently the tree models on edges encroach over halfway into open ground squares. While playing the game, I'm finding it hard to tell what is open ground now around woods. In fact, many times, by just looking at the map, I'm finding its misleading me now about terrain types.

Examples:



Note how the town is almost entirely obscured now and the "track" tiles leading to it are very hard to see. This is typical of edging from two sides and it looks like woods to me. You can also see the distance trees edging around woods protrude into neighbouring tiles on the right of this image at the map edge.



Edging again, single wood tiles causing edging into the next tile, but combined from various sides it would be very difficult to tell the terrain type.


And finally...



Good old Northern Europe woods, clearly the tree models are narrower and that also helps, but the edging is clear and makes it easy to tell terrain at a glance without mousing over, zooming in etc.
This isn't a game breaker, but I starting to avoid the Med Tile set, not because of aesthetic reasons but because the others are not as misleading.

Can something be done? Or is it not worth it?

For God's sake please make him to do more research before make unit models so he won't be making mistakes like large number of soldiers wearing the basinets from the 13th century even earlier soon(He also made some of the infantry carry pavises from the 1200s).

This is bordering on offensive. You have been told repeatedly that the issue is not lack of research, but lack of budget to make different models for different subperiods. The models with bascinets and pavises will all also be used in the later period, when they are historically accurate.

And also don't blame the artist anyway, he is only following instructions, based on my research.

And if you insult my research, you will really make me angry. As I say every time you repeat this calumny, the issue is not poor research but budgetary constraints.

I'm terribly sorry,I didn't mean to insult anyone and I don't know he is only following your instructions but not his own(And I really did not insult your research).

I will not mention the things about the models again,also feel free to delete my posts or ban me just like this cursed unpleasant thing didn't happen,please calm down good sir,my apologies again(Maybe I should disappear from here for a time).

Not at all, feel free to point out discrepancies, in case they are something we can easily correct. But don't assume that they are due to poor research, rather than difficult decisions forced on us by a finite budget.
