But they aren’t innumerable! In fact, you can count them all easily. Mine will be 3273, magic yeah? 
Also, don’t worry about it. If you’re good at math and like puzzles then this should come easily to you. Personally I’m pretty bad at all of this and would rather stick to my non-graphics related programming. Just keep studying and working at it and someday you’ll look back and realize how far you’ve come!
Sorry, meant 12

Today I decided on putting the band back together, and work on “Heroes of Loot 2”
Copy+pasting various bits and pieces from previous projects gives me a nice base to build on.
Level-generator comes from Space Grunts, controls from Heroes of Loot 1, and some new code and graphics to glue it all together!
Still calling it a prototype tho… !

THIS. EXACTLY THIS.
Everything goes so fine when I’m not doing anything related to graphics… but then I screw everything up as soon as I try 8)
Where are those maps from, if I may ask? And is it OK if I use them for my project (grand strategy)?
Edit: Short Version:
Java have Great Source Code - researching it save a lot of time and mental health =)
Found some them over the last 12 months or so from various random public domain sources. @theagentd got the water mask and normals map. Feel free to play with them as they’re not mine in the first place… (apart from the “terrain” one). I should probably try and find where they came from and put them in the credits.

I’ve been working on map creation. I just got roofs working 
How did you calculate those numbers from knowing there were approximately 1 million hexagons?
Because you start off with the same number of pentagons before tesselation.
I did a bit of googling and found Nasas maps: http://neo.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/view.php?datasetId=SEDAC_POP
To expand on Riven’s comment: to make a geodesic sphere, you start off with a 20-sided polyhedron (D20). That’s got 12 vertices, which for the sake of argument we say the ones at the top and bottom are the poles, and then you’ve got this zigzag pattern of 10 alternating around the “tropics” (there is no “equatorial” line). Each face of the D20 is a triangle, which you can divide into as many smaller triangles as you like; though if you’re looking to make hexagons, like I was, you need to pick numbers that can be tesselated into hexagons. Because there are 5 faces joining at each of the vertices, though, you end up with a pentagon on each one of those instead of a hexagon.

I can do basic graphics, I just don’t really know how to create all those amazing shaders 
Trying to get my (2ID) team’s codebase onto my computer has been a project… nearly a week now and we can’t figure out why my damn certificates aren’t being created correctly. But soon! Soon I will control all your payments, mwhaha. Watch out!
Also, bought a OnePlus Two which I like a lot actually. Had to literally stalk the UPS driver to get my package because he for some reason refused to deliver it to my door, but at least he didn’t throw my package onto the lawn and walk away like I’ve heard has happened so many times.
Edit: Transactions are running successfully on my local machine now! Only took a week

I made a basic trailer. After almost 4 years, this thing slowly comes to an end… ;D

@EgonOlsen, Impressive trailer
I added ForagingBehavior today, so healers are going into the wilds to collect their herbs. Tough luck for them that GoToBehavior (which takes them there) isn’t smart enough yet to give bears a wide berth.
EDIT: @princec, how come most of Holland isn’t hexable?
Ah, useless country is mostly underwater. (It is the year 2415 in the game after all :persecutioncomplex:)

You misunderestimate our flood defences…
Wrote a small application for my PC that plays Pandora without using the browser (my PC hates flash). It’s lightweight and doesn’t show any buttons, just plays the song and shows an album cover. All in all, I’m pretty happy
