The old-style map effect for parts of the world looks neat. I presume it's for parts you don't have line of sight to. I wonder how it looks for undiscovered parts. "Here be dragons"?
yeah actually, it adds like giant squids and compass roses and stuff like that
i actually really like the art style, especially the leaders. i'm a sucker for bright, soft cartoony stuff and that's kinda the direction they've pushed it
i hope we hear more about modding though. they say they built this new engine from the ground up with modding in mind; if this gives modders a lot of freedom then that is excellent news and i would greatly look forward to the insane stuff people make
