Desert Oasis

A simple theme conversion based off the tropical map theme.

Main points of note, are that it is a simple texture, so no real high res or noticable repeating pattern. Mostly just playing with the theme settings for color and scaling combined with a sandy pattern to create the feel of dry deserts.

The most notable effect is with the waters. I gave water a more greenish tint and changed how it interacts with land. Instead of creating a dry and sandy shore like normal, the shores get the appearance of green plant growth. This carries into cities where buildings get grass in their sandy lots instead of the reverse.

Try it out, let me know what you think. Be sure to try it with the map "Sandsea Mesa"
