doesnt really look like a city to me o_O looks more like a lagoon if you ask me but hey im not the one running this thing so it doesnt really matter what i think but ok here goes. first add more buildings plz also more enviromental doodads like rocks and stuff and some plants in the water that would go good with the look your trying to get also up top the river leading to the waterfall get rid of the lillypads they just dont go considering lillypads grow in like one big clump not alot of small ones but like i said add plants in there. also try a lil hight varriation not just cliffs like land isnt exactly flat its just so...unnatural so use the raise tool and do some bumbs and stuff or u can use noise like i did in my forest :> but really its good. oh wait i also see a floater in ur second pic the rock to the right of the waterfall looks like its floating make make like a rock spire IN the water completely not half and half :D also third pic that torch and supplies pile just dont go right now i suggest adding some buildings around there so it looks like someone put that there on purpose not just ran up the water and dumped his stuff then ran off ;) today im not in a real talkitive mood so im gonna stop because i might be able to go on but if i cant tell you how to make it perfect because well it shouldnt be nothing in nature is "perfect" so maybe use my suggestions to improve it a lil bit but otherwise i think its great. oh btw im new at this too so im not that great either

If you have photoshop, open ur pics in that and "Save for Web". I use to have uploading problems as well, but doing that makes all my pics post everytime.

Erm... you guys need to use alot more props, and doodads, use different tiles, and use the RAISE, LOWER, PLATUE, and SMOOTH tools in the terrain pallet, also take SS ingame, use triggers to add fog and weaether effects.

first to lord_duke its not really a bridge more like a "platform" if you will. second to [niro] you know niro it might be hard to see but if you stare at my terrain for like 10 minutes you might be able to see some height varriation :\ (im being sarcastic here people) look mine has alot of height variation and as far as i can tell mine has tile variations to except maybe around that little town thing on the ground level neway i would work on it more but id rather not and just leave it as it is for the contest maybe ill amke it better some other time but not now also niro WHAT PROPS DO YOU SUGGEST I USE? neway y take a screenie ingame when it looks so much better in the WE. like i said i dont care if some1 doesnt like it cuz i do ^_^

I was directing my post to all 3, a SS in game is infinttly better, but i don't feel like explaining it, the props you should use are ones that have to do with you SS, elves, i believe, use high elvish props, columns, you used, us benches,torchs, piles of junk/treasure, and alot of other stuff, think about a real life place, theres lots of vegiation, its its near a forest, use shrubs and flowers, also, i wouldn't suggest using the lordaeron summer tileset.
