I'm really happy the video I shows previewing these shore icons in use was very well received!  

We're going to have a huge number of Isometric World/Kingdom icons this month!  To do the new shores justice, Keith Curtis has made 4 versions for each of 5 different configurations of coast lines.  For example, in the above picture, we've got a configuration that is the coast for the top or bottom flat side of a hex (check the box to flip the icon vertically to make one designed for the bottom appear on the top), then another for the one angled side of a hex (again check the flip horizontal or vertical checkboxes in Worldographer to get it to appear on a different edge), then another for the top or bottom and an adjacent side, and so on.  And we do each of those 4 times over cutting into the hex to differing degrees.  Eventually it is up to you to put two or more together if you want a small island or peninsula with 4-5 sides of water.  

(Cue Crazy Eddie Voice) But wait--that's not all!  We do all of that for both the rocky & sandy shores.  And we add in several river mouths and deltas.  Finally, we do all of that for both hex orientations.  That ends up being over 100 icons already! (Note: the counts in the image above don't count the hex rows & hex columns orientations separately.)

But just in case you don't plan to use the coast icons, we're still making 15 more icons for coral reefs, domed cities, lighthouses, and other points of interest as shown in the sample.

Thank you for your support!  As usual, we'll have the actual icons posted by the end of the month.

So close to a shark tornado.... Also, underwater volcano is so topical.

Love that volcano. A black smoker (one of the columns from deep-sea trenches where the ocean is spreading that spews black smoke and has communities of worms living off the minerals) would be cool to get in the future too.
