Base Design

I am making a "fortress" from whitehorns excellent tiles and the northrend tiletset. It is supposed to be the setting of an abandoned outpost defending against zombies. What are somethings i can put in that would make it feel more like a base than just some combined pieces of terrain? Right now I have added turrets that you can pilot but I need more stuff like that. Any suggestions?

For a start, that's utterly hideous. Use the Icecrown tileset; then you'll have proper walls. It looks dumb for an abandoned outpost to have walls made out of snow and ice.

For the screenshot, please take away that pink overla from the tiles, it makes the base look blue and the snow look pink. Gives it a cirus feeling on first glance : S And I agree about the wall tileset, it would look so much better as Icecrown. Those walls you used dont match up at corners, so it looks rather bad. To give it more of a base feeling, you would need something like computer consoles in a large room with lots of scientist people working there. Thats what I always think of when I think of a base.

dammit, i already made custom pathing maps for the bridges, what does the new bridge have?

EDIT: anyway to change snow cliffs to icecrown cliffs w/o importing or switching to another map?

I think you can swap tilesets, then go Advanced > Replace Cliff Type

The new bridge has fixed normals, doesn't get culled too early, is a good bit thinner... And I made dead and alive pathing maps that should fit perfectly. Will send when I get home.

ruin bricks from ice crown cannot be swapped in.

No, you exchange the WHOLE tileset for the DEFAULT icecrown one, and then swap out some of the remaining tiles for whitehorn's.
