WT 15: Doodad Innovation

In an effort to stimulate your guys' brain cells, I came up with this little gem of a WT.

Your exercise this week will be an experimentation with doodads. You are to pick no more than 5 doodads and attempt to create an interesting scene with those limited doodads. It's up to you whether you want to create a structure or an environment or whatever, as long as you use no more than 5 doodads. I understand this will be somewhat different than the previous WTs in that you have less freedom and I know that you all are used to using environmental doodas to spruce things up, but this exercise will force you to come up with new uses for various doodads.

Hmm..

Brain... hurting! But it can be done.
Custom doodads allowed, however?

I just need one thing cleared up. Is it 5 doodads total or 5 types of doodads used as many times as we want?

This scene has only 5 doodads....only. Slightly remiscent of last weeks challenge, but you'll forgive me right? The altar, statue, iron maiden and spike table and chain cross thingy are the 5 doodads. I pulled everything else out from the unit pallet, but I kinda feel like that was cheating so I'll have another go at it tomorrow night.

5 Doodads it is! It's a shamanistic Tauren outpost. A rather spiritual place, but still well protected from roaming centaur or the hostile alliance faction.

Doodads used: Wooden Spike, Doodad'd Tauren Tent, Doodad'd Tauren totem, Doodad'd Spirit Lounge, Tauren Wall.

Wait wait wait! There's a loophole! ;)
Make custom units and change the model file to doodad model files!!! Then since it's in the units section it could actually be considered a unit instead of a doodad so you can fill the map up with doodads that are so called units and use as many as you want!!

lol, anyway....I may try this

Edit: btw what are those like poles stiking out of the ground greyarchon I want em!!! Where can I get them?

Here's my submission, not really innovatioin, just sticking to the 5 doodad limit, this was more of a motivater to start on some new terrain..

I used:
Fur Orange Tree
River Rushes
Tents
Wooden Pole
Firepit

I made the roofs out of streched out wooden poles.
