I vaguely remember something in beta about being able to change the colors of the landscape and sky.. can you still do that? AH2 seems so bland in comparison

The sky color can be changed.

 Personally, I have suggested some alternative sky color values in the past.

Terrain never looks like a crayola box in real life.  Most times the greens are very muted, and you only get intense greens from direct sunlight on well manacured lawns.....when you start seeing taller grass and bushes with weeds...you get less green.

The grass is greener on the other side of the fence though...I know that for sure.

Naa, that's just a rumor. I've been to the other side of the fence and all that's there is a big red mailbox. I look into the mailbox and there are these rediculous letters asking for money! I must be insane to pay them, but I do.

So you could just say that it's more expensive on the other side of the fence. Now, better? I would'nt go that far.

I made the Mindinao textures from aerial photos taken of Mindinao.  It's very green there!  And yes, the terrain will be green again.

A winter map would be sweet as well.  Just none of that desert stuff as on the old pizza..  for some reason people were so hard to see.


BTW, awesome work Superfly
