Anatolia in Retold

[Tevious7621]

I’ve noticed that the Anatolia map underwent a bit of a makeover. It now more resembles Scandinavia from AoE2. It’s much more grassy, green, and snowy than it was previously.

I think the original map was trying to capture the landscape in Turkey with that orange-ish dirt, dry fields, and scattered snow in the higher elevations. Like this:

While there are grassy and green areas too, which probably depends on the season for many areas, I really liked the representation from the original game. So if devs are reading this, I’d like to request that the original terrain style be added back in. And if devs want to keep the green grass with snow look, then there could be a 50% random chance to get either of the terrain styles with a couple changes to the random map script.

Agreed I would like Anatolia to go back to the OH vibe but I ain’t gonna die on a hill for jt

I do prefer the original, it was a unique look. The orange sand, the white snow and the turquoise water made it stand out quite a bit.

I will say the snow on the cypress trees looks bad to me, looks less like snow had fallen onto them and more like they turned the green slider to white. especially when right next to unsnowy trees

I didn’t even realise that the map I played on was supposed to be Anatolia, I thought it was Norway or something.

It really needs more orange.
