Me thinks a theme would help.

For example -

City, Desert, Forest, blah blah blah.

We should also limit it to certain tilesets along with themes. It'd be fun. I'd do it.

I was thinking something along these lines as well.
But extend the deadline, and give people some more info, wait a bit untill most people have seen this thread. I suggest Judging it on tilset themes eg Winter, Forest, Rocky, City, Desert etc.
Wait a sec before setting a deadline, and make it slightly longer than 6 days.

It should be like, we choose a theme, and a tileset to implement that theme on. eg. we choose the theme "tomb" and we pick "sunken ruins tileset" or something. Get an admin to choose theme and tileset, just make sure that they'll be able to match. We should be able to use doodads from any tileset, and have it be on a relatively small map, 96x96 or 64x64. No extra editors, just FTWE. Judge on detail, realism (whether it actually looks like it's theme). Anything else anyone wanna add?

I have an idea, choose a real-life, well-known, location, and see who can most accurately reproduce it. Takes alot of resourcefullness and mad terraining skillz. :D

What the hell are you talking about, we have a little invention called the camera, I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but it's a nifty little thing indeed.

Lol! Sounds like a kewl contest...

Why need an admin to start it? Maybe these could be some categories to include or piggy-back off of?

- Most Realistic Mountain (Range) Tileset: Any
- Most Realistic Coast (Ocean) Tileset: (Ex.)Sunken Ruins Only
- Most Realistic Forest Tileset: Any
- Most Realistic Tomb Tileset: Any
- Most Realistic Country Town Tileset: Any Lodaeron Tileset
-Most Realistic City Tileset: Dalaran and (Cityscape I think it is) - (Brain Lapse :bgrun:
- Most realistic Palace Tileset: Any

I dunno after reviewing, some would be ok to include maybe...

I hope you guys get this thing going though, because it sounds uber kewl! :D

Geez, some guys are really good at terraining *cough*DaemonKillar*cough*

well u can add units and buildings too but try not to over do it unless ur making a city or something. no custom models allowed its too cheap like daemonkillar's tree model and stuff T_T
