https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjOpK1De7uo&feature=youtu.be This is a video of a Sunken Ruins temple I've been working on for my sandbox map (by sandbox I mean it's a bunch of improvising with friends) in my opinion it serves its function but looks too linear any tips?

PS this is the first time I've done something this big so I don't know where to start


Edit: Link changed to youtube

I'm sorry, I don't speak .rar. Could you translate this into YouTube please?

Or, better yet, images! I speak .png fluently.

That's alright. By rule of thumb, though, best practice of uploading stuff to critics is to make it easily available to them.

Anyways, it looks like you have a solid foundation going. It really depends on where you want to go from here. Do you want the terrain to be more than just functional?

First order of business should be to set a terrain fog and include some form of height difference, either way. Then add flora, props and environment details. If you want a good overview of what a Sunken Temple playable can look like, this paints a pretty good picture. http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=106729

Good luck!

Seconded.
Right now, its near impossible to give any good judgements since you only have a framework of a terrain and not a finished piece.
We also do not know how your game works and hence cannot judge on that front either.
Though I will say that perhaps the doodads may be overscaled. Again, depends on how important that is to your map's gameplay.

Personally, I would just keep adding stuff until you feel it is finished.

I want it to be more than just function it should look like an ancient reactivated temple Keyword though 'Reactivated' and the Overscaled parts are on purpose due to the fact that I want players to ignore the Sea and thank you for the link Fladdermasken it's a good reference but I want people to feel like they're trapped in the temple if they go too far or that they're going to die/lose their troops.

PS the gameplay is complete I just want to take this chance to perfect the area since it's my first try at a project like that.
