A swamp is a wetland that usually has trees, grasses, moss, etc. growing in it (not to mention all the rotting plant matter... some swamps if you light a match in it the entire place becomes a big blaze, as I have heard.)

I had a good lifted rax with cloaked hydras shooting it thing going on, until i realized that a swamp would never work right in ice, besides, I suck at vegetation.

Hmm, should I finish the one I started? The screenshot I posted makes it look like shit, but the version I had on my comp looks much better.

Sure, you have a nice base to it going. I would make one but I try to stay away from the whole jungle/badlands thing (and it doesn't work too well in the others).

Edit: Here's how it was looking before I stopped (ignore the arbitors, was just to see how hydras would look):

Ew it shows green balls in the pic

I would like to see the map that ÐeathKnight made (his swamp as the map) then you can see all of it

I voted for DK mainly becasue he emphasized a lot in detail which makes everything look great no matter how you see it.

I also like Rantent's use of disruption webs and excellent placement of tress and geysers not making it look clutered. They both get into the hall of Fame.

is there any way that mine can get added to the poll or is it definitely too late?

It s too late, you cant edit/add polls once its made. You would have to completely remake the topic.

Ðeathknight2004's is the best because he didn't have an over-intensive amount of aura like most of the others.

I almost voted for Grizzly's though. The creep was a perfect idea for a swamp and it could maximize Ðeathknight2004's if he were to add it into his piece.

I'd say they're both equally original and I like ideas from both.

ADDED: I didn't include Rantent's into my post because he's not in the competition, but truth be told, I prefer his over the rest. It creates a sense of dew on spider spider webs, which is a very swampy feature due to the darkness and the moisture.

I found that the aura sprite ... in a swamp ... was the worst possible mix.

the psi field? that is used for the water...

Have you ever seen a swamp with clear glowing blue water? Seriously? Every swamp I've seen, and even the DESCRIPTION of a swamp, would dictate the water as being foggy and/or muddy.

Like what I put in mine (the valcano one)? I had that because it WAS dark and foggy...

Chu, which is why DK2004's is good. It isn't too aura-intensive, but at the same time it gives off the illusion of moisture.

He did just perfectly, as did Rantent, Chronophobia, and Grizzly(B2BF).

did you happen to notice mine? on the left side i used null terrain for the water to make it look mucky. i would remove a few aura sprites but then it would delete my sprites around it because it would select them also. is chronophobia's even a swamp?

Yes I did notice yours, it looked the least like a swamp than every other one.

If it really is wet it would be a sunken marsh. Otherwise its sunken grass...

Man you guys nice terrain, i gotta start working on some terrain again im slacking behind.

Yeah, Curt, I've noticed you've been inactive on the terrain front since this whole Clan Mp) vendetta arose.

YUP! well... actually the idea of aura i think that for all that used it was to make fog not a swamp's water xD

Ðeathknight's all the way nice job

Ok, I got bored and spent 10 more minutes to finish mine up. Enjoy!

Tux that looks good, the only thing I would say is the bushes look a little repetitive, although if you did the cloaked barracks thing like DK did I think that it would be the best.

I don't see cloaked barracks shadows anywhere in that screen..

Oops read his post wrong, i thought he said i think it looks good with the barracks shadows like in DK's swamp, I guess i was tired.

Where did that come from, TRiGGa?
