Doesn't look that great :(
I think it looks quite alright, yeah. Good job. So far, though, the storehouse and the vineyard would be my favorite.
I'm not sure we could add snow roads to KaM Remake, because the tileset is limited to 256 elements and they all are already taken. However in distant future we may allow more tileset elements, but thats much harder than code for adding snow houses.
I wouldn't say it'd be too big of a priority. The roads look fairly realistic like this, as they get used constantly with serfs walking around on them. If it'd be possible, I would only add a little snow on the edges.

VIDEO GAME LOGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or it's just really cold :D
Wait, some time ago in a very serious discussion we had agreed that KaM is realsitic. I mean, it's not realistic, but it tries to be realistic. This is valid in all field except the ones, where it is not realistic. I guess that this disagreeing result is binding then. You understand? ;)

Keep the good work coming!

For now i don't really want to go much in to detail. First roofs then everything else :)

I know this is small but how about adding some frost on the windows of the school?

No, seriously. Snow on the sun side melts on medium and dark surfaces. Let me show you a photo from today:

Totally unnecessary. Besides, KillingB's point about it being "really cold" is valid. Also, I think that it would look worse if this was taken into account.

It can't be that cold - the serfs are wearing T-shirts.

Man, I just can't stop ...

I've another concern regarding this whole idea (sorry) - what about damaged, i.e.burning buildings ? I guess you could ignore it but nevertheless it might look strange.

Maybe some melting snow? Or less snow when there's more fire?

I say ignore it (which is what other RTS games do).

Well when you add it as "new" objects later implementing it to kam, you could solve the problem, making more problems for burning i think. So first the snow is melting and than the fire pops up,or sth like that :D
