Taking for a test spin

Every now and then, I like to throw the new tile designs into a tilesheet and pop them over into the map editor. It helps to continually do random checks while designing, as at times we can tend to get too close to our work and not see flaws. I think it's also fun just to throw some random tiles together from different sets just to see how they flow.

Here is from the latest set:


Can you spot the new token tiles versus the old ones? This time around, it's all about going a bit more exotic! Mixed in with the new tiles are tokens from almost every past set, even some of  trees from the world view (set 1). It is quite enjoyable seeing how elaborate a scene can be created. Even after a couple thousand tiles, it's always about simple on simple makes for complex...

Of course, once I saw the jungle trees in the first picture being way too flat as a background, so that HAD to change: 


Ahhhh...much more better... The additional random foliage works in nicely as well!
