Castle floor

Made a variant. Haven't done much to make it tile good yet.

Might be a bit to "busy" this one too

This looks better, although I fear that as it's still a mayor grayscale that it will not change color at all when a player can or cannot move to it.

I think that looks better. Here is the last one I just finished. I want to post it so the effort isn't for naught, but frame's smaller "random" bricks are less distracting.

I really like more the last from frame. More subtle.

it still a big dense... but definitely much better, you're on the right track

maybe with larger tiles, so there are less of them...

It would be nice if the floor of the keep was different from the rest of the castle. Would that be possible?

I like frame's tile better... Perhaps if it was more brown?

Frame's tile is nice, though I think the tiles are just a tiny bit too small, creating the "busy" impression frame was talking about. Very slightly larger tiles would make it perhaps.

For castle tiles, I like frames better, although I think it might be improved if the tiles were smaller, not bigger. A random building, well, or somesuch might be interesting too...

Scott's tiles actually look quite good, and I think would work well for building interior scenarios where the scale is much smaller.

small buildings would be too weird.
You can imagine the castles as being either in scale with the units or in scale with the buildings. This is a good thing because the features that identify the scale of the castles are small (windows etc.) and often covered by the units.

How about castle floors like frame's, but with more colorful stones? That way you could see if the tile is greyed-out or not.

I took frame's tile and tinted it dark blue. It shows some improvement for showing moves. I also might try shrinking the tiled version down so it is more in line with frame's small stone look and see if looks good at all.

The brown tint looks $#!^ty (no pun). It clashes with the castle walls.

Your tint is almost exactly as the original color before I changed it to look more like the color of the castle wall

I wanted it to match the rest of the castle, forgot about that it would be hard to see moves.

It's too blue! It's distracting!

Maybe there is no solution. I agree the gray tiles look the best.
