A bit of a gravedig for this post but I came to different configurations by looking at my tiles and I thought it could interest some people

I decided to exclude the middle green tiles for my search, in a collector point of view it makes sense but I would like to have nice maps with same shade, and everything from that possibility could be had having the lighty green version or the dark version.

The only black point to that is the GQ 11, I have to admit it is really neither light nor dark, but really medium, it would blend better with dark tiles I think but just my opinion

I noticed that the tiles from the BB4 with the 7 Miniz from german publisher are really darker than most of the tiles and they fit really good with all darker expansions

Does anyone know of any versions of a publisher having darker tiles ? At best I would like to have the maximum of tiles with the darker grass

Thanks for your help :)

I have stuff from Rio Grande, Zman, Giochi Uniti, Devir, Hobbyworld, HIG,and 999 Games.  The only dark tiles I have came from HIG, Spielbox, and the minis from BB4.  Everything else matches close enough.

Thanks DrMeeple, this is really useful for someone starting out with C1. It gives a really clear guide on what to look out for and what options there are.

BB4 has dark green tiles like castles or monasteries in Germany? I’m interested in some pictures of the tiles! :D

What would you consider the best expansion tiles? Specifically the tiles.
