Living Woods

A map from Blood Raven!! you are the author of Daemonheim! one of the few underground maps and you discovered how well mix the grass in the undeground. And also the Death Scar is a great imitation of the wow area.

Is this for the contest? if it is put it in the description if not, never mind.

going to look it

edit:

awsome map, nice waterfall, and nice those big trees. I am impressed that you worked in 96x64.

I rate it 4/5 (I would like to do 5/5) but I like to see the mod review before considering my final rate.

good luck in the contest.

Such a beautiful map. Keep this awesome work, @Blood Raven!

Be sure to add aerial pathing blockers around doodads that are off-screen tall to avoid flying units going through them.
There's only one expansion per player and it is quite powerfully guarded.
Tower rush isn't impossible.
Not too many paths towards your enemy.

Approved.

How did you put branch like shadows? I'm curious. BTW, this map is fucking awesome! I love forest environment.

Well, if you're really that curious, at first I tried it with some vanilla models like "Vines thorny". I made a really huge, slightly levitating version of that doodad and placed it all over the map, then calculated the shadowmap, but alas the shadowmap calculator doesn't take into account the alpha channel in textures (aka the transparency), so it didn't quite work out. So I made a really simple branch-like model with leaves in milkshape and did the same thing. After calculating, I deleted all copies of that doodad, and only the shadows were left. Which also means that if I need to calculate the shadowmap anew for any reason, I need to import and spam that doodad again
Also, thanks for the kind words
