Status Icons For Units Uploaded

I’ve uploaded the status icons I am using for my new unit tiles on EDIBLE.  I wanted tiles that used the higher definition 128×128 capabilities that were easy to spot from a higher zoom level.  This replace two icons which I didn’t think were very intuitive – the brown triangles for “Dug In” and the…

Space and Structures Unit Tiles Uploaded

I’ve uploaded the 128×128 unit tiles for space units and bases/structures. This is the final set I plan to make for these unit tiles.  They use concepts already used in the Rural to Urban city set and the unit icon templates I made in previous posts.  The only addition to this, aside from the unique…

Naval Forces Unit Tiles Uploaded

I’ve uploaded the 128×128 unit tiles for naval units.  This contains the largest set of unique icons I have made to-date.  The main challenge is in finding a silhouette that was different enough to identify the ship when zoomed far away.

Basic Random Map Generator – Version 1.3 Update

I’ve updated the Random Map Generator to Version 1.3.  This update was mainly to fix the issues with names showing up with squares instead of letters with diacritics.  My choices were to inform the game developer and wait for a fix, apply a regex to modify broken letters, or just hard code a list without…

New Tile Layout – EDUT

After about two weeks of revisions, I settled on this layout for the unit tiles.  It’s called the Empire Deluxe Unit Template (EDUT). After searching through the EDCE manual, doing some in-game tests, and searching through the art assets I determined all of the possible status options I could identify without making any code changes. …
