Hi All...if you havent come out and tried Beta 37..well its released!

Among some of the fixes/changes is how the terrain looks.

There were some complaints that the Beta 36 was way too dark. My opinion is that it was to a certain extent.

In my opinion, the terrain in Beta 37 is WAY TOO BRIGHT!

It looks unnatural in my opinion and perhaps a blend between the dark of Beta 36 and the light of Beta 37 would be a happy medium.

It really took some doing to see a blue plane against the surface of the ocean...hence the reason they were painted that way!

Anyhow...just my thoughts...curious about yours!

Regards,

The brightness is okay.

The contrast, is what is too weak.

It's better, but still too sickly a green. Gotta find something between olive and emerald. Take a look at Virginia grass and trees -- the most gorgeous green in the world.

(Somebody post some pretty aerial shots of Virginia to show everyone.)

I like this very much. Before I would almost want to go take a nap in the tower it seemed to gloomy.

I am worried though it will be too bright when Pizza come rolling in.

I really wish that they could reskin this map with a "greener" terrain.

A question I have about the AH2 terrain. With the terrain tiles being different from what I understand anyways....

Is it posible HiTech, if you could skin Pizza in a grass terrain?

I think Pizza map would look absolutly great with a different skin.

Color makes a huge difference. I also think it effects peoples moods. As this is a scientific fact that color does effect people and their moods per say.

A more "mellow" or softer color might help Pizza out in the popularity dept anyways.

Pizza just seems to smack you upside the head... For me anyways. Its just toooo bright.

Halo,

you hit the nail on the head "sickly green" comes to my mind as well!

It just appears to be washed out.....tried messing with the gamma setting but still looks "ugly" in my mind.

Between the "sickly green" as you suggest and the "contrast" as Kweassa suggests there has to be a better solution in my mind.

Again my opinion:)
