[Freeciv-Dev] somewhat new isometric tileset

[Daniel L Speyer <dspeyer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many of us have expressed dislike for the hires tileset, and most of us
have been waiting for someone with artistic talent to create a new
one.  Since this hasn't worked, I've begun editing the hires tileset to
illiminate its most annoying aspects.  I've copied extensively from both
other tilesets and the better partts of hires.

I have taken as a base philosophy "get the point across without being
hideously ugly."  I have, for example, replaced the incomprehensible
phalanx and legion images with single soldiers in recognizably bronze or
iron armor.  (The soldier image is itself a modified barbarian leader --
this is how I get around my lack of talent).  Since the idea of the
tileset is communication, I have named it "Lexxy".  It can be found at
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming/lexxy.tgz

Since I'm making little attempt at artistic unity, please suggest things
that still need replacing (or need replacing again!).  Maybe together we
can get a decent tileset.
