New Coasts Features/Icons (Patreon)

Hi Folks,

Keith is well into his work on the icons, and I've been testing them because in this case we need to make sure many of the isometric world/kingdom ones work together.

As you can see, these really let you have much prettier isometric maps.  But because of how the mountain icons are done, you sort of need to make an extra step in many cases with the mountains: Use the "base" icon for the terrain (just a grey texture found on the terrain drawer) then place a mountain icon from the features drawer on top of it.  But you'll want to add your coasts before putting on the mountain icon.

The nice thing about this is it also lets you place mountains that straddle hexes--which also had a prettier effect.  On the other hand, if you want to use the multiple map levels feature, your mountains on a lower level will be more spread out and so will your coasts.  You'd almost be better off marking all the mountain feature icons and coasts as only for the map level you're on and then doing it again custom for the next level down. :(  There are always tradeoffs. 

Anyway, more previews to come.  Happy Mapping!
