Well, i got two things to say so insted of making two topics ill make one and combine both (Hope the mods here do not mind)

Hi, my online name is JimmySmith. My name is Daniel, Im 19 years old, 7ft1 inch tall.. I teach Rugby to little kids at age of 8-10 years of age at weekends and after school, Living in Ireland at the moment with my band (Im the drummer) the name of out Group is called "Hells Lighting" yes we are a rock band... The name of our first CD was called "Lighting Music" Which you can see the Front cover as my avatar...

Anyway,
I play Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne in my loose time or when im not in the world editor.

Now that small intro is done. Time for the real topic to begin. Im 99.9% of the time in World Editor Note this "I cant make maps to save my life"
But i'm i would say a pretty decent terrainer my terrian is not as good as some as i have seen here im still learning i still dnt know how to make wooden walls or make stairs leading up the tree of life or what not.... I useally make terrian for my friends who are just to lazy to make themselfs, so i make and deviler. Once i have gotten all the info and a few blue prints of how you want to it look (roufly).

I'm useally just maknig random terrian and useally just show it around and 50% of the time someone ask's to use it... Now i dont have a problem with anyone using the terrian i do, ASLONG as they give credit to me for doing, and ASLO as long as the map is complete... I hate giving away terrian and find out the guy never used it or completed the map...

Anyway at this very moment im making a 160x160 terrian map for no real reason. But the start of it is really looknig nice to me. It coud easy be used for a RPG.

I'm not a solo worker, i do like help with terrian.

Anyway your prob board now, Here are 6 pictures of what i have done, if you wish to comment on them please feel free... But if you wish to say somethnig bad about them please DO NOT say "THEY SUCK"
Please be polite about it and say what is wrong with them and would could be Improved.

It's decent, it would be better if you changed the camera view so that we don't see the edge of the map f.ex.

Nice but be llittle more detailed like in pic 1 and 2, can't really explain but if you using this terrain as playable terrain, it's good but if to just show to people, need more detail, overall, you should join the weekly training XD

Nice terrain, but you are using too much doodats - it will prolong map loading and lower performance on some places (because even doodats that are barely seen must be displayed and when is thousand of them on screen...)

good work anyway

Aye, the terrain (raise/lower in particular) is unrealistic. There are points where the terrain spikes upward for no apparent reason.

Other than that, theres' nothing else that hasn't been mentioned.

Give me the map if you want to and i'll show you that you can spice it up with normal WE cause i use it too. I dont trust WEU. Get rid of that cliff edge and put a shore there, but not too smooth and some bushes and river stuff. Make the shore cliff like with raise/lower tool and not the cliff tool
