Yay this is the first time im doing a terrain, im kinda newbie in mapping(triggering, objects editing, etc.), since i only skins and models :)
I got the walls from modelling forum, so credits goes to the guy who made it...

Oh, Chump's done with the walls? Great!

Well... abit strange towers, really... and the houses around look alittle, you know, malplaced... But it's quite good, really.

Hmmm... try using different fog colours, (cenario, map options) it can really make a huge difference.

Nice walls ;)

I would suggest turning the rock "path" you made into cobble or stone path. If you go to themappersguild.net, the Pheonix thats making New Lands has released a bunch of doodads from the New Lands mod. One of those is a tower, I think you should use that tower instead of Buildings.

Lower the inner walls, you can see underthe, use something morre twoer like instead of, maby just a sentury tower, and some fog, and torches on the walls, but over all not bad at all

when alfy wanted to start terraining he asked for me to give him a challenge, he promptly ignored what i set for him and did this castle :)

Well at least its good terrain, tho the walls need better skins, but in the future, when you ask for advice, FOLLOW IT!

Although technically i have no idea what i am talking about, I think ill mention that you might want to variate (is that a word? Its like the verb form of variation) the trees outside of the castle. They're all the same tree! I read somewhere that you should use trees from at least 3 different tilesets to make a good forest. Of course should you neve see the trees in the game (it looks castle-orientated) then just disregard this message ^_^ .


EDIT: oops, i was so into critisizing your forests i forgot to say that you did an excellent job on your castle. Looks really good :D
