It's Aliiiiiiive!!!!
I joined another LongTurn game, and so had ample opportunity to stare at my tiles and wonder how they could be improved.
Then I looked at the the Tech Tree and realized that there were some new units added WITHOUT ANY GRAPHICS!!!
For starters, the Caravel was given a "Flagship" variant (one per nation) the "Square Rigged Caravel". I'd previously created a unique graphic for the Longboat, so why not this one too?
Behold my glory!
Can you tell which one is the Caravel, and which one is the Square-Rigged Caravel?
(Trick question, because the default Trident graphic for caravels depicts a Sloop. That's also on my list, one of these days...)
I also fiddled around a bit with the Oil Rig graphic for the desert mines, improving its distinction and contrast against both Oil, Desert, and Oasis.
Not perfect in all situations, but improved.
I've attached the latest version of RoundSquare with these changes, and also the "Square Rigged Caravel" graphic, for those who would desire it.
