I am mapping ICC tileset, I don´t know what the hell more to do, ice, skulls, rocks, more ice, more skulls...

You shoud try mixing it with the underground tileset.

I am going like 5400 doodads, want to reach 6k

I don't know what ideas you have. But you could mix the Icecrown and underground tileset in order to make some kind of fortress in the middle of some glacier. If you want some cool doodads try using https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/crystal-ice-cliff.232682/#resource-34383 it goes great with icecrown... just throwing some ideas out there ^^'

yeah I have some kind of fortress in the midle and the edges, the problem are the ice parts and water parts

If you want I would gladly help (also do you use the regular editor? or the expended editor/ Newgen?)

nah regular

Ok. maybe add some floating ice on the water, and some exported doodads for the ice. Also some snowy weather could be good.

yeah this map was calling for snowy weather, I am looking others melee maps ice theme, the problem of the floating ice is that blocks path and my water parts are for walk so the wide area is only with fishes

if the water is a problem, you can also remove waves and color it black. That ways it looks like a chasm instead of a lake

There is a doodad specific to icecrown that is just a thin flake of ice on the water. It shouldn't block your parting.

I did that in 3 maps, Queen Hederine toxic domain, I converted water in some poisonous thing, Queen Sinestralis Fortress I converted it in black chasm, and Desert oil refineries I converted it in oil

I know i saw your maps ^^ they are cool. i was just throwing some ideas

Actually the ice floating was a good idea, I am using it small and with no pathing. When there is little to do to finish is when the desire to finish and upload is high

Cool. I thinks the terrain is the best part about map making. The items and creeps are a bit tedious sometime if you want to make it perfectly balenced in my opinion

items is copy paste units, doodads is fun at first and boring near the end

For the doodads I agree it can be, especially when you try to place many specific little doodads.

yeah I place many specific doodads, like torches above pillars or skulls with height variation, also I copy paste customiced doodads from older maps to do faster

If one day you decide to use the alpha tile be careful because if one doodad is slightly underground it will completely disappear while ingame. then placing specific doodads can become maddening .

Anyways I must go. Good luck with your map ^^
