Swamps / Wasteland
Based on Sn00py's marshes. Originally I just wanted to make some sort of a 'neutral' marsh, that fits with different terrain sets, regardless of what colors were used for oceans and rivers. However, I ended up with swamps that looks rather different from Sn00py's original marshes: They have smaller 'puddles', remains of dead vegetation and a rather desolate and muddy overall look – making it even more desirable to have some workers clear it :D

Tested and fits with the original terrain, Sn00py's and Rhye's.

Requires C3C and goes to \Civilization III\Conquests\Art\Terrain (or, if playing a scenario using its own marsh.pcx, to the corresponding \Art\Terrain subdirectory).

:thanx:
They'll do extraordinarily well for even more purposes ("undrainable" swamps like the Pripyet as well as such as the ever-missing Qattara Depression).
Isn't the latter one a rather dry and desert-like area? :confused:

Yes, but modding is a VERY large % improvisation, and something more gray than green to represent the lowest dry land -- very dry land -- on earth will do in a pinch (IIRC Drift made me a special 3 tile set for the QD which I could never get to work right ...)

As it is, I tend to make mountains Impassable (nice to actually force units through the Khyber Pass and all) and I'll just use these for LM Mtns.

Cheers,

At least modding in Civ3 :rolleyes: But creating some gray, 'dry' terrain is at least possible, and if it's not meant to be cleared (like the swamps), an overridden LM Terrain might be the better choice here.

By the way, you reminded me of an idea I had some time ago, but never got to work (see this post). So if anyone has an idea on this...
 
Oh! Those are yucky, as in they're totally awesome! :)
I would not want to get caught in one of those. :p

Good job! :)
 
All the graphics you've posted look great! I hope you keep up this great work! :goodjob::)
 
Racc00n, you marsh-graphics are looking outstanding. :goodjob: This marsh is in the next upload of CCM. Thank you very much for doing these graphics.:)
