I could be wrong, but...I believe that the screen shot you have selected to display was an example of a "terrain tile" that was built for the "old" "SoW" engine...as some of you might remember, "SOW" was originally built on the old "IL 1946" game engine, and then Oleg and team realized that if they really wanted a 21st century game (for the future) they need to go back to the beginning and built a game engine "from scratch"...

Even though the "old" engine was limited in possibility's (for expansion)...Olegs team had a lot of experience with the old engine and the graphics (and colors) had been highly tuned, over the years.

The new game is not finished, and all the screen shots are a "WiP"...

yeah i think you are correct regarding the old tile proton, but the colouring is pretty much bang on, The close up terrain we have seen with the ground objects is superb, its the 'middle distance' of the terrain that looks odd to me, and the terrain from high altitude it looks 'washed out'. I have said previously that it may not be the finished terrain but it is slightly worrying when oleg says that the game is just going through a de bugging stage, this suggest that all other work is finished.

You mean from a few miles away and say 10,000 - 20,000 feet high Tree? If that's what you mean I agree. Something is turned down though like distance view or something like that.

Thats exactly what i mean Richie.
