It's probably just me, but I can't seem to find a lot of Art files that I saw in POG on the CS cd. Like the learning tree interior.
Also, I cant find the little stone bridge, or the rope bridges, OR the big ol' wooden bridge you help to build, anywhere in the CS art library.
I hope it's just me.

I noticed that many of the art folders on the CS disc were empty. I have to think that this is a mistake either Ambrosia or the disc printing place made. Otherwise there would be no reason to include so many folders with no content inside, and there are many folders with zero content.

Yoiks! This doesn't sound good... is there a moderator listening who can clue us in?
By the way-- Are you folks happy with the art collection? I'm almost ready to make my order, but I'm skittish...
How are interiors handled? Are their castle/library/house interior tiles that allow you to create your own style of interior home? Or are they single, static images (like some of the screen shots from POG I've seen)?

It is possible that not every single piece of artwork used in PoG is in the artwork library -- especially things like the Learning Tree, which are just one big static screen. I'd have to check with Dee to see, but I don't think a mistake has been made.

I have the same problem, missing images in the folders listed above
------------------
No, there is no image missing. But I understand the confusion, let me explain:
We have some sort of standard folder hierarchy here when we create a new art lib (like the Medieval lib). So when we start a new art project, we create all the folders and then, fill them if necessary. I didn't think about removing the empty folders when building the Coldstone CD, I just copied the whole project on the CD.
As for the art you saw in PoG not being on the CD, it was on purpose. The artwork specific to some gameplay twist in PoG wasn't included (not much) so that PoG always remain a original game with graphical surprises even if there is other games that comes out which use the medieval artwork lib.

shouda figured it was something like this but thanks for clearing it up.
still there is quite a bit of artwork included with the CD even without the PoG art.
The only area i feel is lacking is Interior art but it gives me a chance to brush up on my Photoshop skills.
