[GriffonSpade]

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?

I haven't tested this in context to see if it would make it easier to distinguish outpost from a fortress, but I wonder if we should make Fortress gfx different by having some stone instead of wooden structure there.

I always felt that the fortress /WAS/ stone, granite or something. Perhaps something more like a segmented polynesian city wall would be better to represent the outpost's woodenness?

Trident's 0% hitpoints sprite got lost in the 2.5 edit. Filled in the blank (already referenced) sprite with 0% sprite.

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.

I did 'unit.convert' in patch #6240.

So maybe we'll finally be done in 2.5.2? cazfi, is your missing gfx spreadsheet online somewhere in editable form?

Current status of activity icons is that amplio2 (=> cimpletoon) and trident have separate ones; hex2t, isotrident (=> isophex), and amplio modpack have old-style ones. I'm happy to leave it that way.

Two Trident submissions for update. One version with coast-colored shore-water, the other with lake-colored shore-water.
(I played with smaller increments in saturation, +10 on the coast water seems like a good improvement)
Both are meant to replace previous trident tiles.png (Note that I've not been able to check for updates since december...even now my time online is unfortunately limited. If it's been updated, I'll get around to fixing this.)
Please inform which is preferable (I'll use the same color scheme in Sextant as well.)
Names are arbitrary for testing. No spec included. Both variants are tiles.png in data/trident.

Both have:
Rubber sprite, completing civ3 strategic resources for trident, located at 15, 16
15, 16, "ts.rubber"
+10 saturation on coast tiles

tiles2 has:
+10 saturation on corner shore-water and river mouth tiles

tiles3 has:
corner shore-water river mouths lake-colored (-20ish hue)
river mouths sorta lake-colored(-10 hue)
