WIP Terrain

Hey, I've never done any terrain before, or atleast not more than shoving the essentials into test maps, and I'm looking for some pointers/tips/etc on the terrain I'm making.

Thanks. =)

Really doesn't look that bad...remove the trees from growing in the water...and use a little larger variety of doodads..I really don't see a lot of them.

Your use of different terrain through the town area and whatnot is real nice though.

All in all, you really don't have any bad habbits for a terrainer, and thus you really don't do a bad job.

Is it supposed to be a giant frogs foot? Looks that way. (Or a frogs footprint) :D

Thanks for the comments. =)

I'll see what I can do about the trees in the water when I next work on it. And as for doodads, I've not really got around to them yet ^_^

I must admit it -does- look a bit odd with those 3 paths and stuff, but I've not thought frogs foot before, =P

Looks like a regular melee map to me.

What exactly do you mean? =/

I mean, that it isn't really something special with the terrain, almost like a melee map.
And it's Lordaeron Summer tileset! I hate it! Replace it with an another tileset and add some shrubs,
flowers and stuff, and you got nice terrain.

If you hate it, why the hell does he have to change it?


The terrain could use shrubs/river rushes.

He don't have to, but if he make a new map, maybe he can do as I said.
But otherwise, I agree with the adding some shrubs and such.

What do you hate about it so much?
I'm not personally so keen on the sharp contrast you get between grass and earth, but you can't have evertyhing, and I like how it's bright.
The only other option I really had for my purpose, was village, and I find the village tiles to be a bit dull compared to Lordaeron Summer, and lacking a thick grass tile.

As for the terrain being a bit bland, I know this, and what I think I really need to sort now is on it is that. However, as doodads go, I'm not terribly good at deciding the placing of these, I'm thinking of checking out some of the terrain from the campaigns, and others screenshots to get some inspiration for what to do with the doodads.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback. =)

And, if you find me some nice, bright, tiles that you don't hate, be sure to point me to them, as they may be an alternative for the future. =P
