new grass question

[Linnon]

I found this grass in 1.31.18 (first beta offline) and thought it was the most realistic grass ever seen in the game so I took a shot of it and posted a while back.

Not realizing at the time that that was the only example of this grass I have seen ANYWHERE in the game since then. I've probably looked at dozens and dozens of other cities and locations and cannot find another example of it since.

I even reloaded 1.31.18 back up after downloading later versions thinking maybe it was just in there temporarily or as a test- but I still can't find this grass - even used supertroop running all around trying to find it lol

Any rats know where it is or why this is so uncommon?

Its by far the best looking grass... much better for infantry cover and much better looking than the other common tall grass around the towns.

OK..figured this out but its really an unexpected answer.

This is actually the radial clutter believe it or not. Just a strange effect of the 3rd person view you can do in offline.

The way to recreate:

1) go offline

2) Set your radial clutter to max settings

3) stand on a berm near some open flat ground

4) then hit cntrl+x to get the 3rd person view

5) then hit ctrl+f12 to make the camera stationary

6) then run about 30m or so from that point out onto the flat area and lay down in the radial clutter

7) then hit f10 a few times and it zooms in the view

The result is like what you seen in the screen shot. Hard to believe the little radial clutter plants appear to be such deep and thick tall grass from a distance!

If they could make all the tall grass look like that it would be perfect.

I highly recommended you stop posting things from old beta builds, your build is SIX builds old, so much changes.

Thats not really the point jizzy. And I have been using the latest version. Just reverted back for a few minutes to look for some thing good that I couldnt find later. No need to freak out its not like this is a bug report or something.
