I'm learning the ropes on all of the little details I want in the terrain. I figured if I'm going to do this and put my name on it, I want it to be something I'd to play in regularly. Hence all the details. I couldn't say this before, but now that I know what's doable (and now that I'm actually having successful experiments), I can say for sure that it will be nothing like anyone has seen in this game before, visually. It will be quite a bit different. I'll try to start posting results of the experiments on this thread.
Also, now that I have the basics down, I'm going to tackle the easiest of the objects in this project: the two pontoon bridges. Right after that I'm going to do the two land tiles on opposite sides of the river.
