Conquering the world...One tile at a time.

Hey there,
I've recently discovered this website and have plans to construct my own tiles using many of the very nicely made expansions on this site. I've strongly been trying to think about what designs I can make of my own to add to the collection. So, I thought I would throw this one out there to see if it would possibly be worth making. I've thought of a very small expansion (maybe even only one or two tiles) that included a forest fire (under-siege or not?...I haven't decided). My early thought is to make this a rare tile that would actually zero out any forests that are being constructed. I would appreciate some feedback from anyone as to whether it's something they would enjoy using, and suggestions as to how it could be improved. Thanks.

That sounds like a good idea - one or 2 tiles would definitely fit the concept well. The artwork won't be too difficult as well. I like the concept behind the expansion.
Oh and welcome to your first post. Please feel free to contribute your ideas here on this forum!

Well, I've made my design for the tile...now how do I show it so that I can receive your thoughts on it? Upon trying to attach it to the post, it claims it is unable to do so due to the upload folder being full. Thanks for the welcome, I'm looking forward to contributing to the site!

I've had problems with that too, so I upload the images to an online image host (photobucket) and then put up a link to the image.

You can also use the link provided in the "Share this image" box on the left under IMG code to show it in the post like this:  And I have to say I like the brown bits and the smoke. The fire looks a bit fake (it could do with a bit of yellowing and some transparancy), but nevertheless it's a good effort! |

I think it looks good. Perhaps something more fully involved would stand out more, but it wouldn't be necessary.

Wow! Very nice. Much better. Some smoke might be nice, if only it didn't obscure your fantastic flames...

I like the version without the smoke better (it was cleaner). If you are using smudge for the smoke, spray (paint) in a bit of light grey or white so that when you smudge it, you'll see grey whisps which makes the smoke look better.

Really? IMHO the smoke looks better, but evidently others would disagree... |

I like the concept behind this. A really good idea. All that needs to be done is work out how this will be scored (or rather impact on scoring).
IMHO, the tile with smoke is the better one (wood smokes when ignited in this manner).

I like the smoke too. I've seen a lot of forest fires in my life and some greyish-black smoke is quite common and makes it look like wood is burning.
