Highly recommed mod. I had a problem with visibility and clear picture. This fix this

Buzzerker, what mods do you use

This mod doesn't work but there are some that still do, I use about 5 of them all the time, every game I play. There is no normal level in this game, Vostok is the middle of the road level, actually it's one notch above that and all that difficulty levels do is make your AI opponents better than you. It gives them an edge in bonuses and I think it might give you penalties. It's not the greatest game but it's far from what Rayki is saying, this game has some really cool concepts, graphics aren't bad, tech tree isn't bad, combat is fun, units are cool, diplomacy is pretentious but it should be, it's about survival of the fittest on a hostile alien world after the fall of earth.

a quick comment on what Rayki's comment. This mod is trash, I don't know what the author even made it for because he indicates that if you want to use it for 'normal' multiplayer or singleplayer, then you have some hoops to jump through. Use RESHADE instead, it works and there are a handful of other mods that make this an excellent game. Rising Tide is awesome, Rayki didn't know what he was talking about, I play this game all the time, it's the best damn Sci Fi Civ game ever made, better than that ancient old mess that needs a serious new version the god-like legendary Alpha Centauri. I can't bring myself to play that game it's so damn old. The UI is like trying to figure out Egyptian hieroglyphics.

@Everyone Most mods for this game have been abandoned since 2014, they don't work properly because Firaxis essentially fucked the game up at a code level and it became a nightmare for modders. That was when Firaxis essentially abandoned the game, face with trying to fix the abortion that was Rising Tide they instead threw in the towel and left you all with a broken product.

This game will never run right on it's own, let alone with mods, I'd give up and get something else.

i got the dlc and the game, but each time i make a game or custom game i get error message saying it fail to install texture so i'm frusrtated the mod not works for me... for any visual mod it not works, fail to load textures ...

if it does not work, then push the flag and report it as so

Why would you create and then release a mod that doesn't work?

"To everyone who wants to play this mod in normal singleplayer and multiplayer - There is a way to make this possible by forcing C:BE to load loose asset files instead of FPK files. Unfortunately, i haven't figured out how to make that work yet. If you can help, leave a comment :)"

If you can't make it work in single player what was the point? Can't recommend this collection. Didn't work for me at all.

Yeah, in BE one type of terrain can have many models, it is realy confusing (moreever if you play always with random map).
But thanks God we always have small window with information about current tile, which exists all time.
You will be missed in Civ 6

This mod is too old to work with Rising Tide, but another one called Biomes Redux may work

I'm wondering, do your Visually Distinctive Terrains mods work with the linux version of Civ BE?

This mod may make me play this game again

can you update this for Rising Tide?

I love this mod but I'm getting some terrain textures just disappearing into black bars.

Ya.. i've noticed they are better. Although the fridgid one seems to be very hard to tell the land apart imo. The volcanic one is a bit better.

@crazysmuk I'm still playing my first match in Rising Tide on the cold template, and i think i can make some improvement, although the new biomes are better than the original ones. New mods i make would be "higher contrast" rather than distinct :P

Do you have plans to make these for Rising Tide? I do hate having to look at the tooltip all the time to find out what i'm building on.

Civilization is goood game...

If you actually take a closer look, TYRONE, he changed the colors of the trees and some terrain to make each biome look different.

wtf all you did was ZOOM IN :(

Is there a version with the original tree textures?

My one complaint from looking at the pictures is that this might be a bit too distinct, It's a problem with the concept of an arid tile set in that you can't have three different moisture levels of terrain but still have them all look arid and look different. Perhaps if the plains had a cracked earth look to it and the grassland was patchy, like it's just hanging on to life.

Added download link

i got his mod like 2 weeks ago and its awsome but a few days ago the terrains have gone back to the orginal design :( the mod dont work anymore

"When o' when Michaelangelo; when will you make a finish?" ...and add the lush biome?

When will you add the Lush biome?

I look forward to seeing the third map type finished!

Cousken, you rock! I can now start a game without going into the advanced options and making sure that only "lush" maps are used... I had big problems telling terrains appart on desert and fungal maps and had given up playing them. Thanx much!!!

This is too flourescent green imo.

Please please please add a direct download link for your wonderful mods, for some of us the workshop downloads simply wont start sometimes.

Love it i count and wait for your last biome thx for your work

@gunnergoz

Originaly by teinedraig, 10 hours ago:
@gunnergoz that is actually a known Civ big at this time and if you actually untick and retick the mod it will also fix the unit issue and leave the mod in :)

I find that this mod must conflict with others because whenever I load a save that originally incorporated this mod, I cannot see the unit window in the lower left screen - or it is corrupted. If I go back to the mod list, remove the mod and then reload the save, the unit window looks and acts normal and I can play the save.

Next mod is out! Why not check out the whole collection?

you da real mvp

cool, the change those alien cactus plantslooks awesome

пропо

Yeap

yeap

very interesting !

Now I can finally tell the difference between plains and desert!

not sure about this

parece legal

please make the rest of the bioms

nice pics

Can't really see the difference in screen shots, to be honest it looks like all you did was change the camera angle/height

wow that looks much better!
and all just because of some paint.
Good job!

kool

@Moshu: You have to start/load your game via the "mods" button in the main menu. Then go on from there. You can enable/disable any mod from there (AFTER you subscribed them of course)
