I made some good progress on the painting so I thought it might be nice to share some pictures. Feedback very welcome. Firstly I painted the Savannah, on the fly I changed the color composition a little to be somewhat warmer: I did some experiments on the riverbed (to make a nice transition between savannah and desert). This is the point where I would like to have detailed feedback on. I also made bridges for the road: Lastly I made a small oasis to justify the presence of food: I also made a github repo so you all can follow my progress. It's currently made in the Alpha 18 map format. https://github.com/0ADMods/map_Silk_Road
