A little graphic design. Cities, landscape, mine, castles, forests, city menu, advisor screens. And a little bit of everything. Improved resources. Now you can see what bonus each resource provides. And you can see it right on the map.
The landscape of the middle-zone forest is made from photos of a real forest. But not the whole forest is made like this. Forests have become more visible and no longer look like a jungle. And you can see that too right on the map.

A little background.
At first, I didn't like the way the forest was drawn. I searched the site for a long time, but I still haven't found anything suitable. Either the size is wrong, or everything is crooked. And I decided to do it myself. Then I didn't like the way the cities were drawn. Edited it a bit. A little later, I decided to change the images of the city and the council members. They hurt and looked ugly. It wasn't easy to find a photo for the advisors background, but I did it. And gradually, doing one action after another, I edited everything else. Reduced the size of the forest. And moved them down. The most difficult thing was to add textures depicting the desert to the landscape. The first photo shows a desert landscape in the upper right corner. The desert landscape is also shown in the penultimate photo. I've seen these textures on other landscapes, but I didn't like the rest of the textures. Now these textures have been added to the new landscape.

In this photo, you can clearly see where the jungle is and where the ordinary forest is.

Pretty!
I like the advisor screens a lot, those are a pain.
 
I like them :)
But for the cities, imo the walled version is:
-a bit too round
-could use some strategically placed regions of transparency to be rid of the specific continuous yellow terrain

If transparency is used, objects will sink into the sea. The walls will be in the water. I chose the optimal solution.

Love the forests and cities, but the forests are just beautiful. What about jungles?
The jungle looks good enough as it is. I don't want to spoil it. Otherwise, everything will get mixed up and it will be impossible to distinguish where the forest is where the jungle is.
