I don't believe in 1 meter wide roads, so I go for the curved illusion.

@Karlieb well, doesn't that look pretty  :)

What witchery is this?  The bend in the elbow ...  The curve in the bend ...  Witchery! It must be!!!

BTW - looks lovely!!  :)  That took either a great deal of patience, or a lot of time fine tuning those pieces of road around, well done!!  I am in awe ....  :D 
What's your #1 tip to achieving this?  What fantastical brew ??

Not so much time. I did some 32 bit tiles for a game once, so I treat the squares in the roads like giant pixels. It really helps to use the roads with the colors that blend into the terrain (mostly 'mossy stone'). I also made a template to help me remember (OCD?) but the 'screenshots' don't work so well as they're pixel for pixel. You'd probably have to actually save it to see it well enough:



I like it better than the sudden change from horizontal or vertical to diagonal (or right angles that bannies cut) and the bannies use these 'curves' without traipsing through the grass.

Thank you. But it really only works from a low angle like that and with roads similar in color to the terrain. Hmm, is it possible to make roads with 50-75% opacity? Is there a road-tile making guide?

If that doesn't work I can try to take screenshots. :P

@Karlieb do you use the MM Gridlines at all?  If so, would you be able to take a screenshot of your road, with the gridlines over it? 

I've been trying to get around the sharp edges, and I can't see where i'm just that bit 'off' :)

@QueryEverything There are going to be sharp edges regardless because it's still giant squares. ;)

Here are some screenshots; first from the low angle (where it looks its best), second from above, third from above with grid and last one is from above with grid and without obscuring grass.

Thank you :)  I will go & have a play now :D  Great shots, very clear & helpful :D
