Interesting research you are doing...

I'm still hoping that this type of "work around" could lead to better "rice paddys". IMO the current way that the game represents flooded rice fields is insufficient in capturing an "Asian feel" in the game (maps).

How does it look with the field pattern underneath?

Keep up the good work....

Probably easier to accomplish with a decent rice paddies texture. Since its "land" and there's no surf, you don't need to use coastal or water textures or fancy set-ups. You just need something that's better than the default Asian tiles and dump it in an ordinary "lowland" or "midland" slot, or whatever.

It is land, but its flooded land...a rice paddy looks like square (sort'a) lakes or ponds in a patch work pattern, but the texture and color of each square can be a little different.
