Making an excavation site

[ToolorDie]

Hey everyone,

Still haven't gotten over my true love, Warcraft III, and was just playing with the World Editor again. Using Sharpcraft, I miss JNGP but that's ok, it is 2017 and nothing lasts forever. My father once told me about when...nevermind, back to the topic -

I'm not very gifted in aesthetics, but I'm trying to plot out an excavation site in the map, and I'm just wondering if anyone had suggestions on how I should go about making a convincing one. I'm using Ultimate Terraining Map which has a lot of doodads at my disposal.

Thanks!

You could look up some real life pictures of excavation sites for starters.

You need also have your own theme of this site.

Then just start making it (the rough surface) and see where creativity takes you.

If you have a rough line out you can also post it here so we can suggest you some cool details or so.

There was a mine in the TFT orc campaign, which you can steal assets/ideas from.

i would also suggest the TFT Nightelf campaign, especially the tomb of sargeras

Dwarf or steampunks ones.

Spoiler: ideas

Lots of good suggestions, thank you all.

I will have to remember the MPQ extractor and all that to get the campaign level suggestions, I will check those out.

Looking at real pictures is pretty helpful - will do

Diegoit - I should have been more specific, the setting is gonna be fantasy, knights and poop on trails.
