Christmas Village Template v1.2

Orcnet: Supposedly, this map should be moderated 1 day before Christmas which I left by. Testing around the the total view of the map's ground work was given a fair taste of decorations. Should you give some dimensional look by adding heights or cliff levels that results the map with more space maximization and more map value. I'd still give it an acceptable rating, Merry Christmas.

Seems a bit too flat. In the top picture it seems a little... bare. If you would fix these I'm sure it would be a definite improvement.

I had a look at ur template and actually it got some flaws:
- As Footman said, the terrain is flat
- Also, there isn't a lot of tile variation! Just three: Dark Dirt, Snow and Ice. Why didn't u use Grass, Rocky Ice and especially Dirt for the paths?

However, I noticed that the template has its good points like:
- Good choice of models
- The central part is magnificent, with the marvellous christmas tree and the tuskarr Santa Claus with his reindeers
- Appropriate fog, sky and weather effect

To conclude, I'll give a 3/5 Could be a lot better!
Oh, I forgot to say that I VOTE FOR APPROVAL!

 

[Remixer]

I really cannot help the fact that the santa looks like a tuskarr.

 

[Binsu]

Thanks for the comment guys and especially, Shadow Fury's review. Would do all of your suggestions except for Remixer, anyways, do you know any of Santa model that does look something better?

What happened to pathing ground.

 

[Binsu]

Updated to v1.1 with the following changes

• Added some more tile variations in the terrain.
• Added a little amount of doodads in the template
• Added Snow Owl critter to make the terrain much more livelier.
• Removed the unecessary Melee Initialization Trigger in it.

 

[Shadow Fury]

The updates have surely made the template better BUT:-
THE OWLS ARE BIGGER THAN REINDEERS AND PEOPLE? Are they snow owls or GIANT OWLS?
My rating will still be 3/5 but the true vote is 3.5/5 The map is also quite small but never mind!

 

[Forsaken]

Well, the template is really nice, but you could make it better, adding steets with the cityscape round tile, make snow in some parts of the steets, use more raise and lower, and use smooth for don't look so artificial.

my rate for now is 4/5 + rep

 

[Anderhil]

looks nice! 5/5 ftw

 

[Binsu]

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I will still improved what I can and elrond, that rating looks really deceiving! You said 5/5 yet you rated it... 3/5?

 

[Shadow Fury]

Rather strange those people like elrond. Can't understand y u rated 3/5 and wrote 5/5

 

[Vinz]

A nice terrain template.

(+)
- Nice view with Santa.
- Those deers.. are just cute.
- Those flying things are cool.
(-)
- Terrain is flat according to screenshots.
- Lack of tile variation in the screenshot.
- Village is too generic to existing Northrend Terrain.
- A little empty in terms of doodads, according to screenshots.
(*)
- Change Debode to Deolrin, new people might get confused.
- Raise, lower, and smooth or plateau.
- Don't put too much non-snow tiles in an area.

Christmas Village Template Review
Review by IamFootman061

Good things:

Models. The models fits perfectly for me.
Tiles. The tile variations is good to me too. Especially the pathing ground.

Fair things:

Units. Some of your unit is too big and too small. The villager is small and the owl was too big.

Bad things:

Houses. The houses doesn't have any christmas decorations. It sucks for me.

Suggestions:

You need to put some christmas decorations to houses and in every places also.
Balance the Scale of the units.

 

[Rheiko]

Damn, where did you get that christmas tree?
Looks nice and flat Hell_Master

 

[Anderhil]

I hope the rating is fixed now. if it was 3/5 then it should have been a missclick. anyways. 5/5 now (i hope)!

 

[Binsu]

Updated to v1.2 with the following changes

• Changed the building structure to something different to better fit the theme.
• Resized the Snow Owl's size and balanced it out hopefully.
• Removed the Villagers because it only takes up space and makes the template much more occupied and restricted

And, also, I am in search of snow themed doodads/destructibles/structures pack to improve this and that would fit the terrain's quality but specifically, a christmas-themed archway (maybe, a candy cane archway). If you have find some, please do link it. This goes without saying but +rep and you'll be in the Special Thanks sections.

Good day!

 

[Shadow Fury]

Here are some snowy trees you might use in the template like this one and this one.
And here are some snowy models like this cute ice cube, and those 2 snowy roofs:- Roof 1 and Roof 2
Oh, and why not trying this cool owl model

I hope I helped you because I am always glad to help people!

 

[Binsu]

Thanks but I have tried those roofs and the own I am using is actually the one you linked. But I might try that those trees.

+rep for the help.

 

[BandolXD]

I like it Mr. Santa < 3.
+Rep !

 

[Heinvers]

The ice cube you suggested seems odd Shadow Fury. Please do not suggest Shadow Fury to mix high res models with cartoonish models. Anyway the new house skins are fitting better this theme imo. I see that the tile variation is a bit too messy(I'll skip the flat terrain comment because it would ruin the village), the post lanterns too large(too many of them also). The fog is good Plus that I would look for a better frozen fountain if I were you Hell_Master. The snow man jump?!? I would remove those owls, the terrain is already falling into a cinematic category! Anyway those fences too could have some snow on them. The pixies are a nice touch to the village btwI would give it a 3/5.
Take your time Hell Master. I'll check this if you update this template

 

[Orcnet]

Approved.
