For someone who really doesn't like the EC, I am VERY impressed.

The terrain looks awesome!

Nice job art guys, this is very nice

Thank you for the comparison screenshots, very well done!

I still won't ever play it but I'm highly impressed

Actually you can thank the art gal. I can't remember what her moniker is on the forums, but she did a terrific job on it!

Is it possible you're talking about Saphireena?

Nope, not Saph. She works for a different company.

Got home, got patched up, and taking a quick run around, and yes, there IS quite a bit of difference.

The terrain is now silky smooth regardless of zoom level and while item plant, and mobile artwork still pixelates as you zoom in, the level of distortion, at least on my system is NOTICEABLY lessened.

Great work Grimm and team!

Did you guys "cut" the grass again? It seems a bit more flat than it used to though. I'll freely admit to missing KR's more wild/varied look to the grassland terrain, so I might just be remembering it a little differently... but again looking at EC screenshots from earlier and the client, looks like there WAS a bit of a tweak to it.

Thanks for the kudos, Dermott!!
