Beneath RPG
Im currently working on this Solo-RPG called Beneath RPG. I've only finished the terrain and I wanted to see what you people think about it.

Story:
After the fight between the Sons of the Old Gods and the Old Gods themselves, only a few Old Gods remained. Shattered by the might of their own children, they lost the most of their power and got banned into a tomb on the Tempest Island. But the Last remaining Old God, channeled his left power and sealing his sons on the Island, too.

A few years later, the humans settled down on that Island, accidently breaking the seal, unleashing the powers of the sons. The humans got crushed leaving only a few survivors, which hid in the same tomb where the Old Gods were sealed. Hoping that this was their last chance, they sacrificed a few of the survivors to summon the help of the Old Gods...

Basically this map is a Fast-Played-RPG. Contents:
- 6 Hero-Classes (only 1 available now)
- 4 Temple (After each the Hero played gains a special ability)
- About 60 minutes playing time (About 5 minutes finished)
- A lot of quests guiding the player through the game (Only Water Temple Part finished to 25%)

What I need from you is a review of the terrain

Remember though dont go to hard on me this is my first map ever^^

My immediate impression is that it's very sparse and empty. You're working with Sunken Ruins, so you have a lot of options in terms of general clutter; shrubs and rocks for natural areas, and rubble for the man-made stuff.

I would recommend mixing up the canopy tree with the normal tree, since the larger clusters of trees look very regular. It's also hell to path with the tiny pathing map of a canopy tree; it's designed for a stand-alone decoration at the edge of a forest rather than as the mainstay.

Don't be afraid to try and bring in doodads from other tilesets. Straight off the bat, Ashenvale has some greenish stuff that can be easily used here; or you can go further afield and tint doodads brown or green from stranger tilesets. The optimum solution here is of course to recolour the actual textures, but that might not be an option for you.

But first and foremost, you really need to clutter the place up a lot more. Rocks, rubble, shrubs, flowers, vines. It's a ruined temple, not a pristine new one (or am I assuming?).
