The problem is that some speckled stone is called marble, even if it may not really marble: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/speckled-marble-wall-threads.html

Please don't prove your naming convention with an art image
Yes, that's true. But widelands shouldn't force people to use wrong naming, imho. Yes, widelands is a fantasy game, but e.g. the trees, or the animals, used in the game are looking and named like in the real world.
As said, i don't see rocks, i see grout.
Anyway, i don't want to create an endless discussion. Just gave my two cents because you asked for comments. You are doing a great job and your work is really appreciated

Here's the original image used in the game, scaled to 25% (the original version was HUGE). Note that both the barbarians tower and my models use a faded version.

How about desaturating the floor texture, and perhaps tweaking the brightness a bit? Then it would look very much like the granite textures of other models. For comparison: Other than that, nice work

I'm not meaning to hurry, but the release candidate will be published on June 8. Do you think the construction images will be ready until then?

Sorry, I've been sidetracked by real life; I'll get the images done within the next 24 hours.

Thanks for your work! This is now in master but there are some little things to fix: The builder stands on this "bags"(?) and the dummy lies on the road of the building:
For version 1.1: How about moving them a bit to the left?

Try adjusting the hotspot to move the building left a bit; that should get him off the roof sod as well as line up the doorway with the road.

But yes, also in germany most people talk about 'marble' for every stone which is used in architecture. It's wrong nevertheless. Mainly because 'marble' and 'granite' have very different chemical (and physical) properties. E.g. one can clean granite with acid (e.g. vinegar) whereas using acid on marble it get destroyed.
