[General] creating a base - the best way

[Chaosy]

hi, Im creating a minigame and I need opionions on how to do the following.

the map got 2 teams with one base each, I only want one entrance to that base else it would be easy to sneak by the AI. I was about to use the normal blizzard cliffs but then I remembered that they were bad in some way. the best way would ofc be to make a realistc terrain barrier but I cant terrain so I got to figure something out.

The 2 problems with blizzard cliffs are that:
Firstly, they look bad if you don't want to terrain in the usual cartoony warcraft3 style.
Secondly, they give you less control than making a cliff with the raise tool.

If you can't terrain well enough, then you can just ask someone else to do it or use blizzard cliffs.

Well, you can make a Raised Cliff or should we say Raised ground made into a cliff.

Just raise a ground, make sure its big enough then use the Plateau tool in it and it will be like a square shape. The appearance still looks bad so just use Smooth tool into the edges.

Just put maybe some Ptahing Blockers maybe so units cant get too much in the cliff and reach to the other side.
