Also, perhaps the icon means that one bonus could suffer. Say, a production improvement would have a negative effect on farming, because the soil would not be as good in that sector.]]>http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:10:35 -04002008-07-25T02:10:35BoogieBachttp://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973 When it comes to the bonus icons being colored, anything is possible at this stage of the game, but I fear that colored icons won't 'pop' the way the black-and-white ones do. Keep in mind you'll also be looking at the icons when improvements have been built on the tile, so too much color may cause the two to confilct.

Like I said, though, I'm always up for making things better, so we can play around with some colors and see what works ]]>http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:10:35 -04002008-07-25T02:10:35FuzzyMatrixhttp://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973]]>http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:10:35 -04002008-07-25T02:10:35Star Rangerhttp://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973 Looks good - Like the icons and highlighted areas!]]>http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:10:35 -04002008-07-25T02:10:35SEB9http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973]]>http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:10:35 -04002008-07-25T02:10:35Thor of the Ancientshttp://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973]]>http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973http://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:10:35 -04002008-07-25T02:10:35Psyringehttp://caretfarmer.joeuser.com/article/62973 )

The planet terrain tiles are starting to look real nice. I'm not sure if color is really needed for the small icons if the shapes are distinctive enough. I'd like to see the other tile highlights for the upgradable tiles first and than see if the colored icons would clash with the other colors in the tiles themselves and the colors of the highlights. Sometimes black and white objects are easier to see when everything else is colored.
