From todays #0ad-dev:
(11:40:04 PM) elexis: Stan`: rP22383 forum thread?
(11:40:48 PM) Stan`: Mostly PM
(The origin of the cliff isn't at it's center, so might be a bit difficult to place.)
I missed those birch trees since a long time, these are very good ones!

./gaia/geology_stonemine_temperate_quarry.xml looks a bit out of place and chonky (correct me if it's an argumentum ad antiquitatem). I don't mind the actor looking that way, but I'm not sure if the actor should be used for that specific entity template and/or biome. It looks more like it was meant to be placed in proximit to hills. refs https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/25612-mines-stone-and-metal/&tab=comments#comment-372084

The grape actor was replaced for the existing grapes entity, again I don't disagree with the new model being available for placement, but I wonder whether it was a conscious decision to replace it on all maps, or whether the assumption that the new one works the same way in all existing placement holds.
The primary difference between the previous and new actor is that the previous one could be found in the wild, but the new one only at a place where humans planted them, so that changes the meaning of the environment.
So
(1) it wasn't checked whether the replacement for all maps was compatible and
(2) the old actor was deleted, but it was good, no reason to delete it, and some maps would be better off with that old actor.
One example where it does fit better is Greek Acropolis (4), I think the fences that were placed there may be removed or repositioned? Not so important as it looks acceptable.
But for Jebel Barkal I'm not sure whether wild berries didn't look better. If it was humans planting them there, the angles wouldn't be so random.

I don't believe the old grape actor was better nor more natural, as it also had posts just like the new one. Also it wasn't obvious for me that it was grapes and the texture was not pretty :/

I never noticed that there were posts, as a player they look like berries on the ground like the other berries to me.
As a map author I still would much prefer to have the choice between both of them...
I agree that the new one works much better for some maps.
It's mostly a placement question.
There is this one skrimish map where there are fields and berries on posts where the new one is perfect.
But for at least multiple maps its really out of place, African Plains and Jebel Barkal to me.
Perhaps I can go through the using maps when I get to map design again.
Then perhaps it wouldnt hurt to have both actors available, and perhaps the posts could even be removed.
I liked the purple blue as it gave different color to the map, but the manmade posts dont fit in the wild.

I guess I could reintroduce it as a berry bush variant but it doesn't look like grapes :) I'll do that when I'm back do you have a list of maps that should use the old one ?
Still I didn't find it really pretty :/
