EUROPA, ANNO

Interesting layout but I have a couple of recommendations such as replacing the vanilla maxis trees with a custom tree controller and making the grass filler lots more consistent.

I really enjoyed pictures 3 and 12. Building on what Takingyouthere says, a good tree controller is the Arden Tree Controller. Also hiding the jagged diagonal textures with diagonal fillers would really improve the appearance of the areas. A good place to start would be SFBT's diagonal fillers.

The layout looks good but it just needs some cosmetic tweaks and some polishing of rough edges. Keep it up and keep going!

Thank you, Vanilla Maxis trees where mostly put in due to some time constrains and other fator like the summerheat ! Tree controler perhaps; europe has quit some Leaf trees so not quit very disturbing. Diagonal filler lots would indeed make a difference; No Grass mod has a disadvantage as it works less well in rural or forest enviroment if there´s any concrete structure Noticed those palace filler lots; not as disturbing left it in maybe put in some scrubes or correct it later !

Thank you, Arden tree controler looks nice, yet not convinced spruces of pines will look nice in such enviroment. Terraforming of the staircase in picture 3 was made quit earlier yet combating in game behaviour was quit a effort, Gellért-hegy Citadella hill needed to be high yet still be accesible but not blocking of the river road and glr. Abscense of any real small fortres like lots resorted to those retaining walls with some viewing points, giving it some castle like look. Staircase from glr level to the top conscired to using a funiculair railway; terraforming and time restrictions halted this, still there´s a bus service.Diagonal filler improve the looks but also make roads a lot wider wich isn´t allway´s wanted. No Grass mod spoiles  the looks as well  ! All cities aren´t fully worked out so in a later stage there will be some kind of a Revisit CJ to come out !

Sincerely yours,

This week I found the Central European Treecontroler by 11241036. Nice piece of work, probably try this in a seperate instalation to see the effect. Maxis has a tree controler ? Till now, haven´t ventured beyond custom terrain and water textures, CPT Olympic Terrain mod installed, yet a seperate CPT Olympic tree controler at LEX. Europa ANNO next may feature this change, probably terrain texture and tree controler may not match or there other complications.
