I worked hard on the textures, tweaking Jim Charter's StainedStones macro 
until it fitted better to the column segments, and hammering out a 
believable lichen growth (or so I hope). I took the lichen colors from a 
photograph and tried to reproduce their shape with a crackle solid pattern.

On the floor tiles this is just not yet good enough I am afraid. I am 
certainly going to randomize the amount of lichen growth on individual 
stones in the first place, but I wonder if the growth should not be 
restricted more to shadowy areas. This is more difficult to obtain. Maybe 
with a X or Z gradient for the columns? But for the tiles, I don't know.

Also, I think the diffuse parameter (now at 0.8) should be lowered as the 
lichen seems too bright overall.

Rubble is coming later.

I am sure you have comments to make on this :-)
