Another cool thing about the minimap creator:
I use Vertex Colors to select the sprite needed from the tilemap, allowing me to use just *1* material for them!
I still split them a little just for organization.
Also the vertex pain is done procedurally, so I have a total of zero work!

Wanna hear a secret?
Spent some time doing a tool that converts a map into a mini map for the map selection menu (basically a lightweight version of the map)
So I can literally select all my maps, click this, and *all* minimaps are generated automatically and assigned to their respective maps :D

I've made a map called JustIce! 🧊

At start of your turn, the ice will crack below your units. And if you are already standing on top of cracked ice...💦 bye unit!

Canyons are back in #AvanteAtlantis as an impassable tile (not even to Hover/Frosty!) for the sands biomes!
You will also be able to push enemies into the canyon with the Ram Unit!

You know, when I'm testing some new tiles, and I have no sprite, I use some of the funny ones I made for a post or something.
So we get things like this in development
For me my personal favorite is Avante! Atlantis Style Miku
