nice I cant help but think the trees dont quite match the surroundings though, they seem to stick out as being "different" from the terrain stylistically now...

edit: a few more tweeeeees (looking better than in the comparison)

Doesn't look much better, but it doesn't look bad the way it is atm anyway.

Ooooooohhh!

3D Trees!

Goodbye cardboard cut-out forests!

the current engine doesn't use the usual "slotted-together" pair of flat sprites, Ali...
imho the 'before' pics look far better, the alb ones at least. The hib SI shot does, i have to say, look better.

Mid trees always looked kinda ok compared to hib/alb trees xD
