Death Race

Here`s the terrain of my map i`m a bit confused about the spaces & I want to change its name but I didn`t find a comfortable name :vw_sleep: . So any one got any ideas? :vw_unimpressed:

Death Race is a Hero Arena map.

Seems unfinished.
The thing about terrain is that we cannot tell you what to fill the blank spaces with.

I suggest you finish the terrain by adding whatever you feel is "cool" to the blank spaces.
Then maybe we can critique it better.

If you avoid using man-made tiles as the main floor of the map you'll be allowed to experiment with more height variation (the raise and lower terrain tool). So that area around the big cross won't be so boring.

Well thanks for feedback , but I didn`t get what`s man-made tiles.

Man-made tiles are those made by man. They're bricks, marble tiles, pavement, streets, etc. Their opposite are the natural tiles, they're dirt, grass, natural rocks, leaves, etc. Example:

I told you to experiment more variation of natural tiles, because with them you can experiment more with hills, depressions, and such :p

What Naze said.

I also want to note that while I see the appeal to making everything symmetrical and
neat, it is sort of a rookie mistake that makes the map look not as good as it could look.
The tile system in the WE is easily one of the easiest ways of making a terrain look better,
use it frequently, overlap many different tiles, experiment with their borders, and use the
tiles in combination with doodads to watch magic happen.

Also, I'd like to see less symmetry, the volcanoes for instance, no chance in hell they'd
align, naturally, that perfectly. Vary where they are and vary their heights and
surroundings, I'd suggest. And, well, DOODADS, use more doodads, they make
everything better.
