yes, new skies would definitely add much more atmosphere to the game. although, you would have to come up with new ones for the MTW2 engine and can't use any from RTW mods. but since this isn't a top priority, the skies might have to wait, maybe they would be an update once EB II comes out. by the way, the skies in the pictures look very nice, although maybe a little too dramatic? is that from RTR?
