Advices needed for terraining my AoS (doodads).

[Apheraz Lucent]

Well, the title says all. I need some ideas of what should I do to make my Ashenvale terrain map more beautiful. Only the doodad and destructible creations.

Please, I use only in-game models.

If you have water, use lots of lily pads. they look pretty
Unique creep camps, like little graveyard for ghost or undead creeps.


And lots of rocks and shrub.

I used shrub here or there, as it looks brilliant when you make rock look so natural. Rocks... Hm, have placed several of them. Might think more of that idea. And about unique creep camps... I like the idea.

Spamming shrub and mushrooms makes terrain look good pretty quickly. Then add some fog, and done. ;P

You can do something like this in a couple of minutes, which I think looks pretty good:

Some tips about making Ashevale terrain:
-Use "leaves" terrain, and spam it, but don't make it MAIN terrain, use regular grass as main.
-Flowers, Shrubs, Rocks, and putting mushrooms near trees is good idea
-If you put rocks, make sure you put some Shrub on it, it looks cool in game
-Like Kala said, make camps, with a lot of doodads in it (Boxes, Gold, Torches etc.)

Here are some models that would look good for bandits, or something like that:

And a decoration that will sure look cool:

River Rushes look pretty sexy and realistic. Waterfalls are always good to use and flexible - literally. You can edit them into nearly any form.

For a good Ashenvale-style terrain:
______________________________
- Use summer trees
- Lots of shrubbery
- sunken ruins mushrooms
- leaves (ashenvale), lumpy grass (ashenvale), and small bricks (sunken ruins) are great for tiles
- place your alot of shrubs, flowers, and mushrooms at the base of trees and around rocks - never have stand-alone trees/rocks
- place mushrooms/flowers on top of rocks to create a more dimensional look to the terrain
- linear white terrain fog, 1000-3000
- modify pitch angle of some doodads to change their look (i.e. you can make a fallen down tree)
- rock-bridges always look great in forest terrains
- if your going for a "magic forest" feel, be sure to have lots of effects. Faerie dust and 100/150/150 moonwell water always work well.
