Thunderbluff Terrain

Well, I am making a map as some of you may know. (Mostly not know, based on the amount of hits on my map thread ^_^ )

Here's the link: Get Viewing People! ;)
A few details about the map will be found in that thread.

One of the many battlefields in this map is Thunderbluff, so here are some very WIP screens. These will be vastly improved upon when Gaiascape Barrens Pack comes out. (Thanks reinless )

Very nice terrain, some of the best terrain i've ever seen. But one thing it lacks, is that Thunderbluff is in the barrens Isnt it? i never really liked tauren so i dont know. But without the realism, it is a very good piece of terraining.

and all thunder bluff terrain looks the same to me.

yes thunderbluff is in the grass lands, not bad those tents looks a lil wierd, but not bad, the cilffs and the ground are a bit undone if u ask me, and it looks empty, need more enviromental thingies, and .......u gessed it TAUREN ^_^

@Zeal/flames/Hadeniaz : Also, about the situation of thunderbluff, another battlefield (forest) is right next to it, that is not an intentional part of thunderbluff.

@Murcielago) : Well, as I mentioned in the thread (or not, I dunno lol) the map is a desolate realm from a MMORPG, you are banished to battle in its remnants. So unfortunately, it cannot have tauren in it. I suppose I could put more environmental thingies (example?) near the cliffs and I could maybe change the tile for the cliffs... Those tents are what I have at the moment (ty again reinless) , more will be added when Gaiascape Barrens is released as I said.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Too much buildings. Also, there is no landscape doodads, like grass etc, so it is not very good.

excelent terrain, but the cliffs could do with a little noise on them to make them appear more rocky, also appart from the buildings it feels too empty, it could do with more small props, weapon racks, fire, ect

Updated version of terrain... fixed the lighting now it looks more like a deserted tauren village.... There will be more environmental doodads like flowers etc. in the final version... but I will create the other terrains of the map first to see how many doodads I will be able to use.

What are the brigdes made of? fences, barrels (i love those things, can do anything with em), or is it the custom model made by ???. if so plz tell me how i stretch it that way, i can't get it like that. still looks nice, i suggest just a tiny bit lesser walls.

Umm lol... the bridges are made from a blizzard hidden model: the log bridge.
Doodads\LordaeronSummer\Structures\BridgeLog\BridgeLog.mdl
Thats the path for it if you are using normal editor... in WEU, its under Extra then Hidden Doodad: New Wooden Bridge.
