It's sad, that we scale all those buildings and workers down to such a small scale. Perhaps we should release Widelands HD sometimes, once Widelands is stable enough :). Top Quote

Such a small change, but somehow it gives the game so much more life. Same goes for the well, really, though of course it's a bit strange that the worker just disappears when idle One small annoyance with the mines though, after having actually played a while: I find it kind of hard to tell them apart. Perhaps there could be some additional distinguishing features, or just make the different colours of the iron vs. coal heaps more apparent. This is particularly important for the build icons - for actual playing, it would help a lot to make the difference between those mines more pronounced. Top Quote

Perhaps we should regress to brighter, more stylized (and identifiable) shades for the ore colors at the mine sites. That would be the easiest fix I think. Edit: The original materials can still be found in the "parts.blend" file in the media trunk and could be appended from there. Edited: 2011-02-21, 14:16 I see little people. Top Quote

So instead of a grass roof for all the mines, have a black roof for coal mine, brown roof for iron mine and yellow roof for gold mine. The roof colour wouldn't be exact same colour as the resource, it would be more natural looking - eg. the iron mine roof would be made out of brown wood, the coal mine out of blackwood (or slate?) and the gold mine's roof would be made of thatched reed (sort of a straw colour though)...?

Good concept, aubergine! That architectural change should certainly be noticeable. Perhaps more so than regressing the ore colors. Anyone wish to draft up some prototypes? I see little people.
