open and free thats cool, i think its lack a bit of doodads to some places, add some rocks, if you want to use thoses cliff made with raise tool just use smooth a bit to remove the squares, i hope this help...

well thats your choice but if you plan having grass you should take in consideration taking another grass texture to use more variation with the one you actually got, there is darker grass somewhere

Edit: oh and i forgot, same thing for barren, get as much tile variation as you can, it will remove the monotone effect of the barrens even if there is no doodads in wide areas

I can see you spent a lot of time on this terrain. It looks really good. I suggest adding some more tiles for the barrens, some more forested areas for the grasslands. Don't use a single tile for each. Make sure you have lots, it will look better that way.
Thunderbluff should be a little bigger I think. Although it already looks very nice like that.

vry thx, well i havnt spend lot of time on this, some hours only :), well i have done so its only green field, barrens maybe i do in next game.
so now today i started to recreate with bigger thunder bluff, more textures :) and minor details.
i will soon add some pics, so i know what more i should change.

Also, in the second pic, next tot he lake there is almost no vegitaion. If you find a lake in the desert your bound to find some trees and plants parasiting off the water. Here it looks like it rains regulaly and the trees have somewhere else better to grow. But, anyway the terrain is awsome. keep it up,a dn finish it b4 wow is released because a lot of ppl won't really care if its good or not because they have the real thing.

oh thx for all good feedback
sure i will finish this pretty soon, cuz when wow coming there will not be mutch wc3 for me ether : /
but the map making wont be any problem it will just take a while to make these special place so it dont be the same thing in whole map.
and dont worry about doodas and stuffs, the pics of the map did i in 2 days lazy work in some hours, im making a better version now : ) with more textures etc, and bigger scale on roads so u dont get the feeling like its vry smal world , i want more to have a big scale and smaler places but nicer details map :) ok little hard to understand but, i think this will be good,
