Definitely big ones. It is kinda mind boggling that the official version of the game with big trees stuck around for more than 20 years, and it was pretty much impossible to have control of what your units were doing on the north side of a wood line that whole time. The grid can be nice (I assume that’s what you mean). I actually doesn’t use it personally, as I think it messes with the immersion a little bit (I still like to balance the feel of being a medieval lord a little bit against the optimal conditions for securing the win), but for range calculations, boar de-agro by palisade etc I can see how it’s very useful.
@@Dawnrim Since I got this mod, i really don't remember ever having a gap in my wall (with buildings-wall or wood/stone wall), all because of grid/tile visual mod. But before this, I had some moments when one mistake made me lose a winning game. And small trees are useful also when you wall into the forest and your villager wants to make a way in for enemy, lol. All other visual mods are ok to me, but I don't really need much. Maybe the castle range is fine to keep safe my mangonels/villagers repairing rams, but anyway, I got a really good speed at counting tiles
Playing without small trees would be a struggle for me now, but I see what you mean. You certainly do give up some of the esthetics. I haven't moved to auto-farm placement myself yet. Not really for any better reason than being lazy in my case though.
Very good list! I personally could not live without the civ icons in the scoreboard
Commenting for the algorithm.
for me was small trees and square tiles

@@AEGISAOE ah, yeah makes sense for spotting gaps
Why did you beep the one mod?
ngl, ive never played with small trees and dont use the auto-farm placement, makes the game feel too weird for me
