I was about to post a picture of WoP showing how nice it is without repeating tiles.
But then I noticed that they do repeat:

Repeating tiles (can you see it?):



But the screenshot maybe does show trees with trunks hidden by leaves, as described by philip.ed above (this is not a criticism, just an observation).

Probably we should make later the same screenshot for the comparison in every detail.

'scus triple post, but Oleg, here are some useful aerial shots of England. They are modern, but IMO give a good demonstration:

I am very impressed by the WoP scenery (and by the SoW WiPs too, of course).
I think you mean that you will do even better scenery than WoP. If so then I will be very happy with that!!! ..it is something I have been waiting a long time for.
...But I can imagine that the more complex game engine of SoW requires a lot more computing power than WoP, and that I would need a bigger computer to get similar results from SoW, especially if I wanted to feel air turbulence etc. at the same time.


I think I know the answer to the most asked question on this forum: 'what computer will I need for SoW'. The simple answer is: the biggest and best one you can possibly get!
