some of you may recall that the wastelands were not working. i finally got around to looking at that issue and it wasn't so much that they were broken as that they were extremely unlikely to appear, but i've fixed that. in the attached screen, the wastes are that greyish red color.

Looking good.
Abit busy and bright for my tastes but that is just my tastes. Besides, I can always drop the gamma or fuzz the image if I want to work one into a downloadable scenario map. Much easier to soften one than to get one thats too soft and try to brighten it.

the problem with how busy the map is, is not really a problem at all. you could construct a sprite that is really just a blob of sprites and use that. i will make a few for the plains and swamps and post a new screen. it won't be perfect, i have to do a little updating of the code that puts in the sprites before it will be, so you will probably see some stuff sticking out into the water, but it's an issue that's slated to be handled.

as far as the brightness goes, like i keep saying, you can change the colors an sprites to whatever you like
