Your comments ave inspired me (watch out ;) ).

I have just posted a new tileset macroisotrident, which is a hires-sized
version of trident with trident-based mountains and hills.  It shows
things very clearly, though the relative sizes seem a bit strange at

http://speyer1-b.student.umd.edu/chooseset and is available by ftp.

Enjoy!
