The creation of a map in War3 is like any constructive activity - it requires imagination. I can't do terrain for shit, but that's because my creativity is horrible. There are a couple of city maps in the campaigns though (like the one where you take arthas and his army to kill a bunch of zombies in this city) That's a good one.

Most of the maps with cities in it are smal roads with buildings literally built one on top of the other. The effect looks like an apartment building or something, but these people do that for EVERY village, with EVERY building! Many people forget about the fact that some houses have yards. The annoying trend is the cluttering of building doodads to make a city.

The moral: Don't fall into this trend. If you want to make a city map, use some artistic talent, and remember about "negative space" as a tool as well (aka the part with nothing in it is still a part of the picture as a whole and is just as important as the parts with stuff in it)

And yes, I was that guy who DIDN'T sleep in your art class and sat in the front row :ggani: .
