 I suppose it does look better. (originally I was going for the restrictions of this) The thing about illuminated drop-caps is that they're usually square, far more ornate than the text that follows, often in a different colour (or colours), and hang down from the ascender height rather than stand up from the baseline. This 'F' is none of those things.  And what's with the lowercase 'd' in diplomat? If it's part of the title, it should be capitalized. The original rendering was better as it was at least consistent (though the l/f collision needs to be fixed). |

 Due to my immeasurable hatred of interface design, I'm calling this done. NES restrictions. |

I suppose this is of an inappropriate level of pedantry but you're breaking restrictions a tiny bit in some of the places with adjacent rocks and trees.

Due to my immeasurable hatred of interface design, I'm calling this done. NES restrictions. Ha - Sweet looking mock-up. Some sort of RTS, I trust? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Some DF-like, translated into turn-based and mixed with Civ a little. I suppose this is of an inappropriate level of pedantry but you're breaking restrictions a tiny bit in some of the places with adjacent rocks and trees.
I welcome pedantry. The rocks and trees are sprites- only the non-outlined terrain pieces are tiles, and those are obeying the 16*16 color rules.So yeah; trees, rocks, people, tents, etc. are sprites, while beach/grass/dirt/water are tiles. @Ashkin: You're insane for not continuing this.
I'm probably going to remove the HUD and just add some extra land area around it. However, if you have any ideas for how to fill up the remaining buttons (the first two are for viewing military and economy), then I'm open to them. Also how to fill the space between the units and the map. |

Oh.
(In that case the top row of trees is too many sprites on one scanline)
