What I've done:
- Tried again with the trees, they look much better now
- Fixed a minor grid mistake in all landscape textures
- Fixed a glaring grid mistake in ocean textures
- Re-introduced detail textures from BM and vanilla Civ 4
- Tweaked grassland so it's not overly dark with the detail texture
- Made alternate "World of Ruin" textures
For some reason FfH is using muddy gray detail textures for most things. Just copying over the ones from BM and/or Civ 4 improves visuals with no downside. After that I thought I'd see what would happen if I made the water less colorful, things got out of hand, and what I ended up with is somewhere between default FfH, Blue Marble Gold, and FF6 World of Ruin. Please at least try it in-game. If the purple color is too weird, maybe someone will find it useful for new terrain types or a different mod.
There's a tiling issue in the FfH plains textures that I was hoping to fix, maybe some other time. I also found a really minor grid error involving cooastlines that I think must be from original Civ 4 because it's in BM terrain too, but the thicker grid lines from Civ 4 textures cover it up. First screenshot is trees + landscape, second is with the darker oceans and rivers. Extract them to ...\Mods\Fall from Heaven 2\Assets. If you want to try the darker water, extract landscape.7z first and then dark.7z.
