Which of our two gladiators constructed the better terrain?

Archipelago

Well, what more can it have? It has butterflies!

True, those look pretty cute :D
I was thinking about different types of trees (I don't know how they're called in English, but there are some trees that can always be found near a lake, or a river...), different types of rocks (not only the sunken ruins one), a shrubbery, a mild blue fog perhaps.

Well, those are just ideas :S

If I see that terrain in a map, I would give it a 5/5 for terrain, though... :p

I think you mean Willow Trees then, the trees hanging over the water,,
And the one link is dead indeed, though the first one looks really nice! Just some fog might add a mysterious effect,, (i think)

Willow trees! exactly what I meant, thanks ;)
The terrain is really good, no need to discuss that, it's a terrain contest, so it's probably the point...

I'm still waiting for DarkMaster's pic :)

Whew, this is hard...

I like Dark Master's effects, though the wisp (if it is a wisp :p) might be a little bit over the top, the water is also a little bit more... 'magical', but I like the fact that I can see the night sky in Archipelago's screeny, which makes it more authentic
The light in Archipelago's screeny is also a better choice in my opinion (the light that falls down through the trees, in Dark Master's screeny, there's no change in the lighting).

Allright, I'm gonna think a little bit more about this one...
great job to the both of you!

Sorry, the link isn't dead for me. Must be something to do with my cache. Thanks for fixing Arch.
