The trees are floating, and the white fog is unnatural. Maybe use the orange fir tree (found somewhere in the Ultimate Terraining Map) rather than ugly blizz ones. Otherwise good.

i rly like some parts, and really hate some too, but currently, the shading is terrible (imo) and yeah the trees....as always. It is good, but needs some more work

Depends on the purpose if it is a playable map its pretty OK, but for a only terrain map it isn't really that good.
General critic: no fog, the terrain is too flat, use custom doodads, and presumably more of them. However I really like the mood and the theme. Not too bad for a first try 3/5. However may this not discourage you, just look at other peoples maps and try to pick up a few tricks here and there.

Yeah you are right,
It is specially made for playing... It's a sort of small campaign that me and my brother are making...

And i've discovered that we can modify Doodads...
(I'm a bit noob with the WE...)

Thanks for the hints! I'll explore more the editor...

Ok for a first try, needs more detail though. Water would be lovely too. Maybe give it some greenish water tinting. And add a nice waterfall effect too. And hows about some fries, mmmm...

Eh, lol, eh, if its an infected countryside maybe some dead animal corpses (at least I hope your animal corpses arent living) and flies. Bats might be ok, trash, undead (optional) i dunno, the works.

That sky... I've seen it somewhere. It is a coincidence, or is that the same sky used in the opening menu of Wc3: RoC?

It's just the Felwood sky...

It seems waaaaaaay too dark to me. I can't see much detail but maybe I am going blind.

Add post lanterns to the houses that are not burning/destroyed/uninhabited.
Actually place them inside the houses so they seem to be a part of it. Hold the shift key when placing to ignore pathing to achieve this result.

From what i can see, add more tile variation to your ground. Tons of dirt isn't good in the rain (mudslides). Just add some grass and stuff. Make it look...natural.

If you have a wheel on your mouse, please scroll the sky back so it isn't looming in your background. Might cause some lag, but you can always reset your view.

Add more trees if you are using blizzards, but since it is a campaign/mission maybe ignore this because of pathing issues.

Blizz trees ONLY looks good using normal warcraft cam, using a camera like you have used (it's not your fault, its blizz trees), you can see the trunk of the trees without leaves, and the sky between the trees, i really dont like it.

My suggestion is, if you're going to continue at/in/on terraining field, get the Ultimate Terraining Map, it has a lot of new doddads, trees, etc, etc ,etc. And try with dif. fog-weather combinations.
