Draenor Swamp Template v1.0
by Strajder

Description
This is a template for a map using the custom Draenor Swamp tileset I created. It uses recolored Blizzard tiles, some of which I manually painted the borders of to fit better with other tiles. I used the "Swamp" tileset from WarCraft 2 as an inspiration.

Note: to also have a matching green water, you need to go to Scenario->Map Options..., check Use Water Tinting Color, click Set Color, choose "Custom" and specify the following values: Red: 19, Green: 80, Blue: 19.

Please continue working on it and improve it. You may want to check out some terraining tutorials in our [url="http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tutorials/]Tutorials[/url] section regarding this.
In its current state, it is simply too ... simple.

Lacks some decoration, but not bad. I like the contrast between rocks and the terrain. Can be recalled as a start for terraining. For now 2/5.

Some suggestions:

- Map too small for a map, unless the map is a cinematic, short one. CAN be bigger, but not a disaster.
- Tree variation can prove useful.
- More decoration can be a good idea, like grasses, bushes, Archways, etc.
- NEVER USE BLIZZARD CLIFFS. They look ugly, really ugly. You can replace them using the raise tool and other stuff + some pathing blockers.

I like Blizzard cliffs. Never understood why some don't seem to like them. They go with the overall look and feel of the game. The game looked "blocky", even at the time of the release.

As I already stated, this is a quick showcase of the tileset.
