Fall Melee

Here's the terrain from my project; I spent a good deal of time on it but I was never a terrainer. Before anyone mentions it though, I know the community frowns on blizzard cliffs, but they are necessary for how the units work.

well Blizzard cliffs aren't really necessary, you could use the hill feature or w/e its called and just use pathing blockers, but it doesn't matter cliffs don't ruin a terrain in my eyes, i think its a nice terrain a little boreing could use some more doodads and such to spice it up though.

It's a melee map, so cliffs actually work better usually. For one thing, they provide a height advantage that hills don't.

Ya, they also take alot of doodad space to prevent u to walk upon them. Kinda buggy with Vision to.

well---> i must say,for a "i was never a terrainer" its quite good... DON´T SAY THAT BLIZZARDCLIFFS ARE BAD--> you must just use them in a good place ( everyone whos saying that those cliffs are bad,just can´t use them)
use CTRL+PG DOWN/UP for raising doodads up and down (to hide the roots/ to hide the bad stonegroundtextures) use different doodads,but not to spammy
Its best to have a sturcture

Look at Blizzard-Meelemaps

So just more doodad placement then?

more rocks, spread them around, raise the terrain instead of cliffs that are ugly. More shrubery and envirnometnt stuff.

Could use improvement anyway.

He needs cliffs because of strategic reasons.But more doodads would be nice.Try to cover cliffs with Trees.Just make trees so that they could be on cliffs.

I only can only suggest you to remove those shrubs at the last screen and put them in places like on rocks near rivers/water. Because it is fall, the theme is orange, and there are vivid green shrubs spammed on the ground - it is not okay, if you understand me

Good tile variation.

I just realized how out of -place those look, what color tint for r/g/b would make them more orange/brown?
