Alternate original seven faction mod

[Dio]

How does this look? I needed to resize the dome so that it was a better fit for a size 1 base.

[Dio]

A slighlty altered version with an added tube.

[Geo]

Ah, with a black background I see the tube.
Second one is better. 

[Dio]

I just realized there is some kind of strange machine in front of the sensor array on the hive diplomacy landscape .

[Buster's Uncle]

Part of the sensor array, no doubt.  Or the air conditioning.  Or one of a million other things a buried city might need poking out ont the surface.

[Dio]

Actually, I have ruled out the sensor array because their shadows are seperate from one another.

[Dio]

Here is my most recent verison of the base.

[Buster's Uncle]

Snazzy.

[Dio]

Here is a image of it on the world map. Do you like it, think it needs improvement, or is it horrible and should be completely re-done?

[Buster's Uncle]

I think it's too bright.  Turn down the bright level 10-20%.  Possibly the color saturation.

[Dio]

Since starting this, I can now appreciate how difficult it must have been for the artists to create diplomacy landscapes that look good using such a limited palette of colors .

[Buster's Uncle]

Yeah; that palette can really be a girldog.

[Dio]

How is this? I have shaded them using colors that available in the pallete and so it will not look as good as just using colors in GIMP. Also, I think I toned it down as you suggested.

[Buster's Uncle]

That should be better.  Does it stick out less on the map?

[Dio]

Let me look and I will post a screen image.
