Description:

A fresher, lighter, more vibrant boreal theme.

I like boreal maps (those skies!), but they can look muddy/bleak at ground level. Northguard Boreal Theme aims for a clean, bright, verdant feel.

CUSTOM RESOURCE TEXTURES IN SCREENSHOTS

This them was initially made for a couple of my own map ideas. I wanted to use resources as landscape features, rather than just shading. And so:

  • Some textures here (especially ore!) are BOLD on flat ground, while fertile is quite muted.
  • Painting with them takes a bit of subtlety, unless you want very strong definition.
  • Try layering them with a small, light brush – around 3-7% strength.
  • Alternatively, start out bold then gently erase (1-3% strength) until you get the effect you want.
  • Placing a very light sand layer over strong ore/oil helps blend them nicely.

Screenshots taken with Relight Average LUT and Daylight Classic, but use whatever combo you like best in game.

Hope this theme works out nicely for someone!
