Hi Guys,
For the Broken Crescent mod we've extensively used the Tropical Climate types to simulate the "India" part of our map. Now the Indian settlements that exist there are a basically clones of middle_eastern settlements.
So when we besiege these settlements during the summer turn the battle loads up and we get to see a gorgeous eastern settlement with tropical fauna in all its beauty, excellent stuff - this is what we wanted.
Now end turn and move to the winter turn... and we do the same thing. Besiege the settlement again and loads up the battle and we check out the settlement. Only this time its not very nice. While the actual battle map itself is normal tropical the settlement that is chosen is actually the winter version! That is the roofs, roads, and buildings are all "snowy" white.
Now I tried this and instead put a north_european settlement in tropical climate and the same thing occurs. During the winter turn the game seems to like picking the winter version of the settlement so you have a snowy little town in the middle of a clearly tropical and green battlefied!
SUMMARY:
Settlements in tropical climates are using winter/snowy settlement textures during winter turns. This only happens during winter turns, during summer turns the settlements are perfect.
Will post some pictures soon.
Any help will be credited to Broken Crescent.
Thanks
