Requests for new tiles

[Alricthemad]

What do you want to do with them?

Make them available to the incredibly talented individuals here, such as yourself, to make up new tiles

[Novelty]

Well, I think we should perhaps have a central resource for them.  Since gantry is hosting files, perhaps it might be a good idea to have them there instead?  I know I get enough messages asking me for tiles and such.

[Gantry]

Sure thing, I think it's a great idea.  That's what this site is for - it's your community.

BTW now is as good a time as any to mention I'll be away camping from Friday to Monday nite, so if anyone needs anything, you can either ask Canada Steve, Tobias, or wait until I return.

Just playing around with rivers and forests...





The print ready version of the files are in a zip file.  Download them there.

I like these, Novelty. We could do with some tiles that expand the forest though

[djwurm]

what does the forest do for the main game? is there an expansion that uses forest that I dont have? (I.E. P&D, Tower, etc)

[Scott]

Yay for more forest tiles!

I agree with Joff that we need some more, especially tiles occupied by a larger percentage of forest. There could even be a tile which is 100% forest, or forest on all sides with a clearing in the middle containing a cloister. I like the tile where the forest touches the river, separating the farm on either side. A few more ideas: road disappearing into the forest; road through the forest which has no farm space between road and forest?

Maybe I can draw out all my ideas on paper...

@djwurm: Once upon a time I asked Novelty to make forest tiles. The purpose is to add more variety to the landscape and reduce the formation of mega-farms. In the future it could be made possible to allow meeple deployment to forests and/or earn lumber trade goods for the completion of forests.

My eyes hurt now.

I drew every forest tile I could think of. Guaranteed some of them you already did.

I think a cult place in a forest clearing would be an especially good tile, since the followers of Woden were pretty big on worshipping in the forest.

I didn't bother duplicating tiles to show pennants or trade goods on cities. Anywhere you see a city, a variation of that tile could be done with a trade good or pennant as desired. I also didn't bother with tower foundations, but they could be placed anywhere with significant farm space. Same goes for dragon icons, volcanos, princess, etc.

Last but not least, any tile with significant farm space could potentially have a lumber trade good if it's desirable.

I have been trying for the last 10 minutes to get that download.  No go   All slots assigned are currently in use.

I agree we do need more.  I'm doing this systematically... top, then bottom, the sides, then centre to get the 100% forest tile.

[Scott]

Hmm... it seems to be working for me. Let me know if you still can't get it and I'll upload to Rapidshare instead.

[Gantry]

I'll get these up asap.... just got home and unpacking atm

[Novelty]

OK, got the file.  Will start working on some of these when I get the time and the inspiration...

[Gantry]

now on the downloads page, will add them as you post them... clicky

also, if i've forgotten any that have been posted here somewhere, please let me know!

nice job guys!

[Novelty]

Gantry, there's also the tiles in the Fake Tiles Download thread.

thx again & again Novelty, the board is a GREAT thing plus i just made the print out pf my favorites of your "own" tiles and they looks great too. The "4 way River tile" is a heavier green than the others but makes the river really cute!!

thx!
