Cascade TE (Tournament Edition)

I am aiming at a more Protoss Probe friendly tone (a wee bit darker) and less contrast, but a more run down feeling.

+ dark
+ green
+ destruction

- contrast

might change the light a bit, but i do not want to lose the bright day feeling of the map.

looking forward to your feedback. i have save files of each version displayed in images here.

current state is like cascade SE as in motm#9:

step 1: haven grassy rocks on tiles instead of xil cracked earth

step 2: replaced the light sand texture with a darker dirt texture. still works well with tarsonis rocks (see third in front of main - maybe even more 3d-ish feeling there now.)

step 3: two grass overlays and some reworking back of tiles

step 4: some extra brown downtoning (in case i did not mix up the images )

step 5: different light setting, all standard. anyone can guess them?

I can hardly see the sdifference in the texturing, but thats good I supose, as long as it's more probe friendly. There is less contrast int the last lighting pic, and I like the first best I think, unless the contrasts make the textures probe unfriendly again?

to clarify:

textures are the same in the last two steps. only lighting differs. There are two lighter and warmer and two darker and colder light setups. Personally I prefer the warm Monlyth lighting for a day situation and the first blueish light in the last post.

i prefer the last lightning. its alittle bit greyish and easy on the eye. no day though :/

yeah but it has less contrast. Can hardly see the shadows = can hardly see the edges
