Description
As you might know I published a space pack - changing the water, and also a planet pack - changing the land terrains to space ones.

This mod changes all cuttable trees to crystals, fitting the space theme, but they fit every other terrains as well.

The graphics are based on the games SW Galactic Battlegrounds and Age of Wonders 2.

It changes all forests and special trees into different colored crystals.

I'm assuming you got this and the other resource texture idea from Star wars Battlegrounds?
Cuz I've not played that specific game for a long time, and seeing them again, even from a picture, screws with me.

There are 3 new types of trees and 2 bushes in African Kingdoms afaik. The Baobab, Dragon, Acacia Tree and bush2 and 3 (not quite sure what they are called in-game). I can see how the colours could be a problem, you seem to have only used one shade of purple and blue, perhaps there's something there you could use.

The 'problem' is, that the non-terrain objects like trees are still bound to the AoE color palette that only contains 256 specific colors. And I'm already using yellow.

So brown is an option, but I need to create 4 (or 5?) new colored sets of crystals that I want to be distinguishable from the exiting ones color wise.

So maybe something like brown, yellow/orange - there are only very few orange tones available, so it might end too yellow/red/brown..., dark violet/blue/red - similar problem like with orange, dark green - might end up beeing turquoise, white, you see?

It's not that easy to find some additional color schms that really look good and are distinguishable. I already had that problem with the existing ones.

Perhaps yellow or brown?

I do - just now sure of what colors to use...

Do you plan on updating this for African Kingdoms?
