random shadows and highlights. That was to make them look dirty and worn
rather than pristine and artificial. Similarly, a lot of the photos have
been retouched, e.g. shifting the colors to make them look more like
alien landscapes.

Consider doing as Paul advises, and offering a second deb file with "optional detained graphics" ? Warzone2100 has three levels of graphic detail for just it's video intro.

One of the beauties of warzone is that users can create their own mods and terrains, since it's all source code and standard graphics from the start. And that attracts users. Just my two cents, Ric
