I don't think your choice of lighting colors for your environment_light fits the skybox. It looks unnatural because of it.

Half-agreeing here, I like the skybox, however, I think that it doesn't really fit with the theme you're going for. The colors seem to suggest jungle or humitidty, not quite the conditions foumd of most of the world's mountains!

I do like the skybox though, it might be a nice alternative to the Borneo one for jungle maps.

Your map also looks pretty good, first screen may be flat, but it's hard to tell from the angle. I assume you actually wanted people to comment on the map, not the lighting, right? :)

The idea of blue-green hills in a skybox is sound; that's the color they get when they're far enough away to be affected by the blueness in the atmosphere but not so far away that they're totally blue. I think the issue is that they're still solid-colored, when in real life there would be plenty of definition to them at that distance.

The idea was making the trees green would make it feel like everything's "right over there"

I'll look at some photos that resemble what I'm going for, maybe I'll find a better color.

EDIT: Already found one!

Looks like I need to make the trees a bit darker color, and maybe not so strong of a green.

I am skeptical on the mountain color, I wanted to have it be like "purple mountain majesties" like in the american national anthem, but evidently, mountains are NOT purple!
