I'm working on hex2t right now. I'll submit that when I'm done.

Edit: I just had a realization, should I put Gold on the far left instead of Production? That way the ones that appear in default rulesets are closer together in the middle.

From clean 2.5 files. Submitted for review. (Quick mockup of how the upkeep looks together, showing 1 of each, 2 of each, and 3 of each) hex2t

Isotrident and isophex updates in patch #5962 and patch #5972

Hex2t update in patch #5980

The only open art questions for 2.5 in my list are those related to activity icons on the secondary tilesets. The icons in question are 'unit.convert' and base / road type specific building icons. Latter ones are something we may simply decide that those tilesets use same road building icon regardless of road type like they currently do.

And while we're checking trident, maybe we could finally resolve bug #16675? Note that "Wont Fix" and "Invalid" (request) are valid resolutions we can end up to.

A bit late of a reply, but I actually did flatten it to two layers, I just added an Ice Shelf layer afterward. And now I went and mixed things up again.

Result:
Arctic tiles now have tundra under their glaciers, including blending with tundra tiles, eliminating grassy land between arctic/tundra blending.

Changes:
1) Retouched the first ice shelf sprite
2) Revamped Ocean and Arctic tiles
3) Added dummy sprite references as necessary for blending

Ocean changes:
Corner land-blending combined into base ocean tiles
Shorelines moved to a separate layer

Arctic changes:
Base layer sprite and matching changed to tundra
glacier moved to a separate layer

Was working on a big, double-scale version of trident when I hit upon this epiphany. (been working on it off and on for a few months, which I cleverly have named 'sextant'...because I can't rightly call a square tileset 'hexadent' ) Though there's a blank area where some of the old water tiles were, which might eventually warrant removing, but redoing the entire image and spec is migraine-inducing.

Submitted for review.
Contains edited trident.tilespec, tiles.png, and tiles.spec. And I forgot to check if there were any updates to these files since 2.5.1.
Edit: Confirmed that there haven't been any.

I've discovered translucent pixels in the second hill sprite at 151,0-158,0.

Contains the previous post's changes plus the fixes to said pixels.

Latest trident updates handled in patch #6347

I was looking at amplio's outpost spritesand was inspirted to make this. Do you think this is better or worse than the 'low wall' version of the outpost?
