I agree that there could've been better places to take screenshots of. IMO I don't really like the layout of the world map, it's too islandy. The terrain blends are really nice though.

Yah, these don't seem like much more than super doodaded ISOM areas. I do see a few with really good blends, like pic #2.

Okay... im not trying to show you crazy blending. I am showing you quality terrain...

amazing terrain there woodenfire

Anything in perticular that you like? If you think there is a concept I am missing, please put up a screenshot of some superiour terrain.

Yea, but sometimes even normal ISOM and well placed doodads outdo the most complex of blending...

We are not haters. And how come when people can't think of any other excuses to say they tell the 'haters' to make a better piece of terrain? WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HIS SCREENSHOTS, NOT WHAT WE CAN DO. We are just trying to help.

Your just a '"hater" j/k I agree we are only trying to help

I tend to not like overcluttered terrain, but I guess it's okay. Good blends.

Good, better than what I could ever do.

Interesting comments... I don't know where I missed on Starcraft the map with better terrain which causes you all to say its just "Average/Poor" terrain... which is the feeling I am getting from most of your posts.

Disapointing.

I can make a map much less cluttered if you want to.

Woodenfire, when are you going to post some more screenshots! Or should I just look at the version you gave me?

I think this is boring. Yeah, the blends are extremely well done, but that's all there is. It's also really cluttered. Is it possible to even fight on this map?

I don't know what you guys are talking about when you say there were better places to take screen shots of. If you took all of his screen shots and tiled them together to make a 200x200 map... you'd have what the actual map looks like. The whole map is pretty homogenous. That homogenity works for a world map (which is WoodenFire's purpose) but if you are looking for a huge variety of locations, you need to go somewhere else.

The terrain pretty much uses extended terrain in two different ways. The first is to have extended cliffs and ramps, blending high terrain into low terrain. The second use is to make things look even more "cluttered" by using ruins terrain to simulate an additional "type" of doodad. There are a few ways of looking at this "clutter."

#1 Say that it looks like crap because it's pretty much a bunch of stuff crammed together. While the world map is just random ramps and doodads with no clear purpose in mind, this.. wait, where was I going with this?

#2 Say it looks good or #3 Say it's nothing special. It does look "good." This is pretty much the only thing you can DO with extended terrain. Face it, extended terrain really doesn't offer much possibility, this is as special as it gets.

#3 Say you are catching your breath or you have tears welling up. You are a total moron, you have no clue what you are talking about, and you probably don't even know what StarCraft is. Get off this website, please.

We're just saying that it's a little repetitive. Throw in a undersea city or a steep mountain and it'll be great. Rpgs need variety

I believe there's fighting areas.

Wood, the only thnig that bugs me is the whole line of sight problems. Using random tiles has that effect. Well not random... Whatever.

The map doesn't have line of sight problems.

You all whine too much.

Well, I don't see how criticism helped me on this thread... you all obviously don't know the extent of the world map.

O:

You will all just have to wait to see how wrong all of you are when Crescent Dyne is released.



If anyone here has better terrain from anywhere else on the planet, post it here to show your godly terrain. Because obviously I am a noob terrain maker.

When you stand on some low dirt based blends and high dirt blends are next to them you can't see onto them, correct?

Correct.

^ Line of site problem. It doesn't really bother me, but it may some people. I like the terrain, the less than cramped areas aren't shown.
