well, its an epic (by epic i mean map size 246X246 and up), rpg based in Felwood called The Acursed Forest
(if you think of a better name than plzz tell me your ideas)

i want it to look like a haunted, corupt, evil, and dead kind of forest

there is a small night elf village in the middle (the only remaining) so i need it small and low populated with a lot defense.

im gonna change some stuff anyway but ill still give u credit.

Story
In a forgoten forest of evil and corruption, there remains only one small village left. Find your way to the source of evil and save this corrupt land....

thats all i got (yes i know the story isn't all that great)

o and dont bother with puttin a hero selection thing at the bottom or anythin cus im not usin that kind.

ehh hope thats what u meant by

An epic sized map would not be good for a dark forest. No one will terrain a 256x256 forest. It will either a) lag like hell with the amount of trees or b) look terrible because of the amount of trees. I'd suggest for you to size the map down a a little, say maybe 128x128 or 196x196 at the largest. That's really all you need for a forest. You could also add in other areas to explore, not just the forest. Like a swampy area, or an abandoned church + graveyard.

maybe the whole map area could be epic but the accual forest would be smaller, then with the other areas. :D can any1 do that?

I think that [Death] or Zergiler could do this pretty good, but you might not need one large forest, maybe some larger glades could remove the lag with all of those trees, but I don't think I could create this..

hmmm a few small clearings, graveyards, and other stuff might do.

hmmmm maybe ill need a modeler/skinner to make some stuff look.... corupted or cursed or somthin. the only theing im good at with skinning is using alpha channels.

Pitch in a layout of what the terrain should be, the layout could be made by any program, even paint, it just has to be clear enough, even if it is messy.

That way, it will be easier for the terrainers and for you to get a replica of the terrain.

In some part of the Rpg, you could arrive to what seems a normal night elf militar base, with ancients of war, wind, and stuff like that, then when you get to know the commander of the base, a night elf ranger, you feel like there's something there that is not normal, you spend the night in that base, and the next morning you wake up just to find that all the ancients are corrupted, the ne ranger is a dark ranger, and they fooled you because they're gonna sacrifice you and give your soul to the misterious evil master.

... just a sudden idea ...

hmmmmm, thats not a bad idea, thnx :D. maybe ill have an evil god corrupt them in the end hehe.

ok, i have a message to whoever is going to do this terreining thing.

im starting to change my mind a little, i want u to terrein the map and then im gonna copy and past parts, add stuff, delete stuff, ect.

cus im gonna try to make it like a campaign, and after checkin out a map i downloaded off b net, i discovered a way to make it look like its a bunch of different maps, without using a bunch of different maps.

also this project is gonna take awhile :\

but lets not get into that
