Cool. This one sounds a little more do-able than last time. Not that the last one was that bad - it was very original - but I just think that people(including myself) just could not get what we should do exactly so it was tougher. This one is still original because I haven't seen too many swamp-like forests about and yet I can get an idea of what to do in my head.

Heres something i cooked up in about 15 minutes. Thanks to Oinkerwinkle for the weeping willow model, I am using it in Act Five of CotD and once I complete it I will release the model for download.

ill join for the first time i can do that

Here's a little something I whipped up. Looks as though a creature emerged from the swamp, burned its way through the forest, and is continuing on its path of destruction elsewhere.

I don't really like zurg's one, but i do like his idea about using the lily pad to make it walkable... it's ok in it's whole i think.

And Silverbullet's one has some nice points; the green water looks very nice, and the path-trough-forest idea as well. only downside is the burning trees; the trees are so close to eachother, according to what you made a forest fire SHOULD be breaking out, which is not the case.

Rep point for both, good work!
i'm gonna start on mine now.

Alright here's mine, a bog. i kinda made the same thing for CAQT, so wasn't much new for me.

The Forest of Blight

These woods were once home to a race of proud forest elves, and when their race was corrupted by foul demon magic their land was corrupted with them. All that remains of them now is their graves; their once-beautiful home rots as their corpses do.

Mozared - Nice work once again. I really like the bog but I have just one suggestion. Maybe add a few dead trees or stumps around in there considering it looks like its in there with the water and that could look better. Whatever looks better just go with that I guess. Also, that water's looking very blue for such a dark, green swamp. May I suggest water tinting? Worked for me.

Defiant - Nice swamp as well. The rain looks a little awkward however just because it is created at such a low altitude. Maybe for angles like that you could use green fog or something just so the rain doesn't make things look weird.

I'd give you both rep points however it says I need to spread around reputation before I give it to you again :\

Your right about the dead trees i think, but this looks good enough for me. how do i tint water?

btw, i'm repping you for your good constructive comment.

Mozared

To tint water it's in the same area as weather effects and that which is at the top go to Scenario > Map Options... then near the bottom there's a checkbox for Use Water Color Tinting and then you can choose a preset color or a custom one.

AAAAAH... another trick learned! thank you! i'd rep you, but i got puke breath =P. still can't rep you i think. i'l try.

Mozared

well as you can see i'm no terrainer,but i just thought i'd have a quick go and thought if i put my screeniws up you may like my idea at least. I put a pocket factory by the stream to make it look like its corrupting it,i wanted the stream to change colour but couldn't work out hwo to do that,so i just added a handful of sewer pipes to try to get the desired effect.Please don't flame me too much :\

well, here is my entry, i dint mix dead forest and swamp, hope its ok o_O ...

enjoy :> !
