Roma Surrectum II: New Battlemap Environment (2)

**tone** · September 27, 2009, 01:43 AM

We've shown you some of the changes we're making to the battlemap environment in RS2 already, but we continue to work on things to make improvements. There are still some new tree models that I'm working on and the new grasses that I've been working need to be rolled out to all the different climates.

Big changes still to be made are: creation of more bushes, some adjustments to the tree layout files (adjust distribution of trees - more clumping needed for some environments like the mediterranean).

Here are things as they are now.

Mediterranean:

Deep temperate forest:

Open temperate forest:

Semi-arid

Infertile grassland:

and finally - a teaser for the Roman faction:

Oh yeah, and nice battlemaps as well.

Haha, nice roman... horny thing player (actually that sounds really wrong, but hey...)

Anyway, one of my fav. parts of RS2 I'm looking forward to is all this stuff with real looking trees and grass and stuff. It makes all these battle shots look so much more realistic!
