DoD2 (New Terrain) - Screenies

[Fulla]

Made a new terrain from scratch, going with the Sunken Ruins tileset.
Looking for comments, critique, opinions etc.

Also if anyone is particularly experienced in the Sunken Ruins tileset, would love alittle help, as I'm not exactly the best terrainer
My friend Oxygen has already given a helping hand here and there, mainly on the details.

The Green Blobs you see on buildings, are just dummy structures placed to produce pathing. Its basically just necessary for 6v6.
(Neutral Victim/Extra ignore buildings + units with 0 movement have no pathing).

Main Global Overview

Hero Selection
Note: Currently I've combined both sides, they'll be split up eventually when there are more Heroes.

Human Base

Orc Base

Side/Corner Lane

Mid Lane

thx for viewing

Middle is waaay to open (sucks a bit on gameplay, because it ruins for tactical gamplay and if u have sentry wards then they woudlnt be exactly usedfull), too little enviroment, only trees/cliffs and kind of only enviroment in middle, needs more blizz. cliffs in my opinion (cliff vision advantage rocks ), even in the base you could do some minimalistic hight changes so it doesnt look all too flat.

 

[~Void~]

It looks empty to me. Also, you should think about using more than one kind of tree.

 

[Fulla]

Ok, some good points I'll get working on it

 

[Oziris]

It's really empty!!!

 

[Andriejj]

Nudl, the thing that the middle is so open, is good. It allows interesting fights, makes aim spells really require aiming, more freestyle too

But the bases are definitely too empty, maybe too big. They could use some more density. That skull tower- it could use some replacement, it really doesn't fit Sunken Ruins. My other points went earlier through WLM ;P

Fiddle more with the doodad palette. Use the corals, waterfalls, perhaps you could place another tree type to mix it up a bit. And if you plan to have neutral merchants, then you could decorate their camps nicely depending of their character.
The middle is definitly too open, start from there, adding some cliffs as suggested.

For your bases, use more tiles. Trow in some grassy dirt and maybe regular dirt. It will look much better.

Why you changed again the map terrain?Previous was better.And when will this map be finished finally?

 

[Nudl9]

Nudl, the thing that the middle is so open, is good.

So your saying its easier to hit in middle of a couple of trees or from above/under cliffs?

By the way dont use 4 lanes, it always fucks up the game somehow.
Lanes just gets unused in late game, because everyone are teaming togheter (or else they are pretty dumb ) on a lane.
If you go for 3 lanes theres less units spawning (slightly less lagg), more fights between heroes and more focus on dragging down a lane.

Well the main hints were said above, such as tree variation and more life in the terrain. [Nice job, Nudl9!]

Another thing is that the arches are too bright for the terrain, find a darker tone to them. One that matches with the sand.
