Ah, well in that case, ROCK ON!

And congrats to Zebulon! Really nice work. I'm particularly impressed with how quickly and how well you were able to respond to criticisms and suggestions.

Quick question:
To be able to get all the latest modifications like that, you must get the site from cvs and build it? It won't get in the main download until a new version is out?

Plus: Great work Zebulon!

We AT LAST have good cave villages!

I dunno what these look like on a entire cave level but they do NOT look right on "A Choice Must Be Made" - I know that is not their intended environment but they look flat out bizarre.

And this makes them different from the old ones how? I had no idea the old ones were even supposed to be villages until I saw an enemy unit move into one and start healing.

One thing I noticed after playing with these are that units more or less totally cover the village gfx making it harder to spot than the old one, you basicly have to look for the flag.

How would I fix that?

hmm, not sure.... Making it taller would look kind of strange I think. It's not a huge problem, maybe someone will post a good idea on how to fix it

Small outhouses or wells adjacent to the building?

Well?

Just a bit fuzzy.

I don't really think wells would work.

What would outhouses look like?

Small version of the big one, door the same size as the big one, but without any light coming from it, maybe a wooden door on it, and no windows.

Just be sure they have a little crecent-moon shaped window on the door...

Instead of worrying about height, what about making something distinctive on one side or the other? To me, the brightly lit doorways or windows are what distinguish your buildings from the background. The flag could go on any sort of structure, couldn't it?

I think these look way, way better than the original cave villages
