How about you post some screen-shots. Then someone might decide to download map.

Ok these could use a lot of work. It defiantly needs a lot more height variation, a bit more tile variation and a lot more doodads. Especially in the 4th one, which is really just a flat terrain with a couple of houses randomly placed across it. Also change the fog colour, that yellow fog looks horrible with the rest of the terrain.

So the main things you need is height & tile variation and a lot more doodads.

Mapping tip: If want to make a RPG, do not make big deserts in it. Even better; don't make one at all.

Well you can make a desert but just don't make a flat one, I always mix my terrain up with generic scenery and special places (for quests, elites, dungeons or bosses for example)

Take a look at the desert in TKoK. They did a pretty good job with it.

That's what I was thinking Gilles.
You can add little things like an oasis, or some strange artifacts/temple place things.
An interesting part of the desert in TKoK is the presence of piers, or docks if you will, which suggests that maybe at one time the whole area was filled with water. Or maybe giant sand-sailing ships are used? 0_o

Well... it's BORING as FUCK. That's really all I have to say about it

 

[greasontim]

maybe cause i dont have alot of time to work on it

So you post your terrain here asking for critique, and when I tell you that it needs more interesting things, you say no because you don't have enough time? Why the fuck did you even post this?
