It is my first terrain, it was meant to be village after attack of undead plague. Awaiting suggestions how to improve my terrain.

More hieght (dont use noise)
Needs a fog
Needs some terrain other then blight and normal dirt.
Blizzard trees suck.

I think so.

The sky doesn't fit too well with the no fog terrain either. Try putting in custom trees (tinted black) and rocks. Or use Nasrudin's trees that are dead-ish like. I think it's on The Hubb.

Terrain needs to be smoother. Start the heights again (or do your next terrain like this) and manually raise and lower. It's a lot better in the long run.

Like Zeal said, less blight. A touch of blight here and there will make it looks good. Too much makes the scenery monotone and boring.
Don't use just one kind of tree. That makes it look like some guy cloned one tree and created a forest. Also, make sure that not all of them are blighted.
More nature doodads. Plants, flowers, rocks, fallen over trees. Go in a parc or look at pictures of forest and see how alive it is and duplicate it in your map. Make the forest come to life.
The village needs more houses and more doodads that point to habitation. People live there, and wherever people live, there is garbage, art, roads, walls, deformed terrain, well you get the point.

Don't use it unless you have to.
