New Map: Painted River
10x10 'painted desert' styled map.
1v1, river between bases with a passable ford.
Metal is in the form of seams which you build metal extractor next to. Last map people seemed to dislike the reasonable quantity of metal so this time each seam (2-3 metal extractors) will get you about +2 total, with five each side of the river.

It was supposed to be the blue of a runnig river but the colours came through too strongly. Any ideas here because i thought it was almost too muddy.
The metal was a bit of an experiment... Doesn't have to happen again i just wanted to try something different.
Don't build on the black bits - they're trenches. Everywhere else SEEMED to work. Thought the roughness might add realism but if it affects gameplay too much i'll leave it out next time.
Features.... I hope you didn't mean trees. If anyone knows of any other addable spring features and a mapconv to support them please let me know, because yes, this does need rocks and stuff.
BTW thanks heaps for useful feedback everyone!
As for the texture I just got a basic grey rock texture, tinted/etc it to make a red, yellow and brown/grey version, and used this useful little program:

Which is similar to TerTexGen but lets you have as many layers as you please. Of course there was a bit of blurring and overlaying of a detail texture ond doing the metal etc..

OK NOiSE and other experts I need advice on river colour. I thought the original looked sufficiently stagnant and dense, but here are some other possibilities...
Clear and sandy-bottomed (just for reference):

Sewage brown:

Thick and tar-soaked (I quite liked this one):

Blood red :

Oh yeah, and i was playing around with this colour scheme but thought it was a bit much, and the black trenches a little too strong:

Ideas anyone?
