Base Wars Terrain

This is the terrain for my new map called Base Wars.

I like how the lightning has a twist to it.

Regular B.net quality.

The lightning is quite good.

Which means it sucks.

This is poor quality terrain. You have tons of empty space, and Blizzard cliffs look awful here (I still think they always look bad, but others disagree). The waterfall looks terrible, you have to add rocks and other doodads to make it look better and more natural. Basically nothing looks natural, it all looks "placed".

I like the lightning though!

 

[mikle splat]

ok thanks, i did think if there was too many doodads and things, then it would ruin the game. thanks for the feedback, and now i know what i need to improve!

Looks like you spammed the shrubs...

Although it looks way better now.

Make grass (tile) under the shrub, it looks weird otherwise.

yes it can

Use terrain fog if you want it to look more artistic.

 

[Gilles]

Haha you went from nothing to spam.

Now you have to learn how to place doodads properly. It takes practice to get a feel of where things should go. Don't place things evenly and random. Group things, like take two rocks, put them together so they are touching and partly in each other, then add a shrub or two in it, and maybe a cattail.

The waterfall looks heaps better.

Spam... It may even affect to the gameplay by causing lag.

 

[Gilles]

It shouldn't really, unless your computer sucks the big one. A stationary object won't lag up a game, of course if you have thousands it will, but he won't.

 

[mikle splat]

well my computer was lagging a bit in the cinamatic, and a little in the gameplay. i think i shall remove the spam.

 

[Gilles]

Not a very good computer eh?

Just use the doodads better. You can use less, and make it look as "full".

 

[mikle splat]

no its a good computer but when i was spamming i was holding the mouse down, and loads were being placed. i think over a thousand shrubs in that one area.

i have deleated most of them and i am not spamming them now

 

[Gilles]

Ahh, never place at random. Each shrub must be placed individually. You don't have to take forever to place them, I do it pretty fast, but you want to place them all yourself.
