LM: Savannah

[Supa]

A Landmark terrain for the forest.

I always wanted some savannah in my African plains, so..




It's supposed to be placed on plains, so it doesn't look so good on grasslands.

Pediaicons included.

Edit: Typos. I should be ashamed.

Looks nice!
Finally I'm not the only one making LM terrain...

It looks very good, too bad there's only 1 LM Forest

 

[Supa]

Well, there is also the Marsh whose has almost the same configuration. A little cut and paste and you'd just have to sacrifice the marsh.

I'm wondering why there aren't LM Marsh or, at least, LM Jungle.

Finally I'm not the only one making LM terrain...

And it's probably not my last

 

[Madeira]

Very cool! I want to use this but im allready using a LM Forest, cant this be used as some other LM terrain?

 

[Supa]

You could perhaps convert it for the Pine Forest. But it would decrease the variety. The forest has 18 squares and Pine Forest only 12.

These are excellent!!!Bravo Supa and Thanks

 

[Madeira]

I replaced the Marsh, wasnt much used anyway

 

[Gogf]

Awesome!

Wait, DPII released his Zebra Warrior? I must have missed it.

looks very good on plains, but I'd like to see some more trees standing somewhere alone in the savana, like an african Baobab, and a rock here and there ...

 

[Supa]

The problem is that such inclusions (rocks, tree) come more often than wished in game. And generaly, in line so it doesn't seem natural. Perhaps I could add a rock or two on the borders. I dunno.

Gogf, it was in his Dark Continent Pack.

 

[Vadus]

yes, you're right, but one tree on one tile and one rock on one other tile (in the pcx) should work, because the unnatural appereance is more conspicuous on big savana areas. But it's a LM Terrain, and I don't think, that someone creates a hole continent only with savana...

Why not just use this as LM plains?
Great work btw

 

[kulade]

I'd like to see this in green as tall grass...

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

what does it look like with terrain improvements on them ??

Because plains is a base terrain, while forest is an overlay. The base LM terrains are almost unusable.

 

[WildWeazel]

Oh, I thought it would be easy to just draw this grass on top of the LM plains file.

 

[mrtn]

Basically, there isn't one LM plains file, there are 3. these show how the plains connect to coast, grassland and desert, but as it doesn't show how it connect to lm grassland or desert it's of no use...

Something like that.

Could you please make it LMPlains? I'm already using LMForests for mangroves. If you can't, please tell me with the LMPlains are called. (The data I mean) I know pgc is one, but I can't tell which others are.

Edit: Well, I used Cordy's plains to create an LM Plain. Its not very good, so you should cover the gaps with either grassland or mountains. I did not make the plains, they were made by Cordy, but I altered the name to make it a land mark. There are gaps with regular plains, but thats what grasslands and mountains are for. Consider it an alternative Savanah if you are already using the LMForests.
