It looks like a tropical jungle with a boat under Russian flag. It seems rather unusual choice. Is there any story behind it?

I wanted something to give the feeling of exploring the unknow dark jungles of africa (in this case Congo), and perhaps also to tie in with Heart of Darkness by Conrad, so a river boat felt perfect. I also like our V2 screens to be alt history so i asked Darkrenown "which major power DIDNT colonize africa?" and he said Russia so we went with that :)

Fun fact: The russians did have a small colony historically but got driven off by the french: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagallo
Fun fact: I tried to photoshop in a raptor dinosaur that would sometimes take the place of the panther randomly but my photoshop skills could not match up to Adrenaline's epic art so I removed it :(

Another treat, a loading screen draft that was never completed for A House Divided:
