I've set up a CVS module for placing game graphics, called 'graphics'. I've put Stephen's artwork in there (and reorganized it a bit), as well as a copy of this email, in case people would like to incorporate map graphics. I looked at one of the maps and *wow*, very evocative. :-) I also created a CVS module for conceptual art, called 'conceptual', including scanned in sketches, etc. Scanned images take up a huge amount of space, so I figured keeping them separate would help on bandwidth. There were some screen captures of Civ2 and Colonization in Stephen's files, but I wasn't certain of the copyright issues related to posting them so opted to leave them out of CVS.
