        @beelee And you are not adding the second folder... you are deleting the original PUs folder and replacing it with your new folder that HAS TO BE NAMED PUs (exact same as the original)

          @Hepps, @beelee
          I know that I am always in the 'Art' of confusion... but all '3' sets of Icons look the same to me.

          Am I missing something?

          Cheers...

            @wc_sumpton You need to see them in direct comparison on the map.

            The new set has a darker outline that will match the new unit Stack #'s more closely.

                    @Hepps Is it ok for me to use the land and sea patterns from your work on the Middle Earth - Battle For Arda. If so can I bother you to post samples here. To be clear not terrain patterns although they are nice. Just the main background patterns (texture and waves).

                                @hepps Really do like that water texture for some reason. Just kind of nice and subtle.

                                  @redrum Yah it took me a while to tweek, resize and play with the transparency to get the finished product in BFA. Glad you like it.

                                    @Hepps said in Map Maker Resources:

                                    @cernel Although if you want to make these the default terrain effects icons for Triple A I am also fine with that.

                                    The next release hopefully coming soon, I just proposed most of them for this purpose at this issue:
                                    https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/5104
                                    Besides, of course, better large images (tho it might be good keeping them monochrome and fairly basic), the only minor item I see is a better normal image for representing the non-sandy desert (that is the kind of desert where virtually all operations in the desert were actually made, during World War II, since the sand seas, as well as the salt marshes, were virtually completely impassable).

                                      @Cernel Um I personally think @Hepps naming of the terrain effect is quit accurate and some of your renaming is incorrect Cer. Example Steppes etc. Just my two cents. Also at some point a map maker might want jungle fighters to be different from soldiers trained to fight in the forests :).

                                        @prastle Jungles are forests. So, if you are trained to fight in jungles, that means that you are indeed trained to fight in a particular kind of forest.

                                        Plural or singular is just a matter of territory dimensions. A territory can be as small as to comprise only part of a steppe, or to comprise a series of steppes. Just like it can be as small as to comprise only a forest, or part of it, or several forests. Or it can be as small as comprising just a portion of a hill, or as large as comprising many hills. Since these are the TripleA assets, I considered more consistent to go with the plural in all cases. If "steppes" sound too uncommon, it can be called "grasslands" or "prairies" (slightly different concepts, arguably, of course).

                                          @Cernel I can safely say that fighting in jungles is nothing like fighting in the Canadian woods 🙂 I think he was just attempting to represent the geography of the world accurately but all good up to the map maker 🙂

                                            @Cernel Jungles and forests could be considered two very different environments and units or divisions trained in forests may not be equipped or prepared for the reality of jungle fighting (something the Americans found out the hard way in vietnam).

                                            In truth I don't understand why you are compelled to change things unnecessarily. If you built a map you could always just rename things to suit your tastes... but things like "frosty", "rivery", "woody" "tundras" are not terms I have ever heard uttered by another person.
