If you know me you'll know i love rocks. Past holidays have always been on mountains or better yet, canyons. My first map was Arid, with a canyon in it. My map Chain is a mountain map (3d skybox). Downfall is probably the biggest, highest canyon Empires will ever see. This year i made Fury, with volcanic terrain.

I'm a Tank and other military vehicles guy, that love doing model kits and learning about military technology. Empires is actually quite empty on this thing, meaning it is open to debate and even improve the way of those units. I KNOW that people don't care or even hate lore/background things in games, but i prefer those more, than just looking at actual tank flood and multiple bugs, crashes. Lets be more creative and hobbyist...

I am redoing the tutorial, as you know, and I am looking for a bit more environmental pizaz to make Empires look a bit better.

BASICALLY what I need: Some new grass models that are waist high that you would find along the edge of a stream, preferably with a live and "dead" version (So green and then yellowish brownish).

Some more trees (Oak trees mainly, something with a thick truck that can be used for cover).

Some bushes, any type really!
