Celtic Coast – based in Boreal biome (nice foggy feeling)
This is to replace the original Celtic terrain theme first used for the Conwy, Wales map. It’s taken a long time to convert this one – sorry about that but I think waiting allowed me to learn more.
Images: You will see a variety of effects in the images. They are all with Daylight Classic with at least classic sunlight intensity selected. After that, I took images with various selections on Daylight Classic as well as using Cloud and Fog Toggler mod.
I tried to get the richest grass while still trying to prevent tiling. The ruined texture leans towards the rusty color of heath/moor, which is what Ore texture represents. Ore has a nice pattern to it.
To make farm fields, ore oil and fertile go nicely together.
Water: I checked with TPB, it seems difficult at the moment to remove the very strong reflection on top of the water. At least when you look horizontally at closer zoom, there is some nice color I was able to squeeze out of it. Still, the water in boreal is very difficult to make clear and make a deep color. We are stuck with a silvery opaqueness until someone figures out how to customize the water reflection.
