Just came across this HD texture pack - I haven't tested it yet (still downloading ;) )

But it looks pretty nice

Thanks! I just started playing the game, would never have known this was available.

Does it work with the GOG version? Can any verify?

The HD textures works! I really like the more detailed palm leaves. The install is way simple:

1) Download Release H.T.O.P. final.zip from from http://horus-top.blogspot.com/
2) Unzip the downloaded file.
3) Copy the Data folder to C:\GOG Games\Children of the Nile Complete\ (overwriting the old files)
4) Play the game.

Thanks for the link !
