HI ! im lonely so here's an update of my previous project, it's been 3 months, i had just continue this few weeks ago, but im glad to be back, and today im here to show a plaza i;ve just finished right infront of the grand palace

other than the plaza, i also did some of the interior and fully finished the palace

i kind of went crazy, from 5 royal bedchambers, throne hall, kitchen, servant quarters, handmaiden bed chambers, church, knight hall, training yard, tea room, everything's there

now all that's left to make is the bustling city, i will divide it to 3 section, first the elven nobles district, the commoner, and humans village right outside the city, one thing im displeased of is that i began this project by the map corner to save up some doodads requirement (hence why the water circling the palace) i should have begun by the middle so i could expand left and right, i honestly intended to only make a palace, but it changed into make a whole city

the palace is more of an interior, but i wont do an interior for noble section, so the city will be filled by houses as decoration, i will only perhaps do an interior when i make a prison, or even a sanctuary or a small garden, and ofcourse.. graveyard.. and a bay since most of the maps would be seas (avoiding the use of doodads for trees)

stay tuned for my map, im willing to share for anyone to use in their project once im done making this since im awful at triggers.. im struggling to make a trigger to get the gate to open by command, im yet to find out how or even understand how

hi to any living soul reading this, including the devs (moderator or map reviewer scares me sometimes idk why, just seeing their comments in some maps give me goosebumps)

this is an update to my map, and i sure want the attention for maybe anyone interested in helping me would be appreciated (not recruiting yet, it isnt ready)

BUT anyway.. i've been improving here and there on this map, and i want to get some reviews and (possibly some good words to make me feel spirited to continue) shameless, i know, but other than that, i would love some ideas or thoughts about the map, like what part should i add ? add decor and stuff, so far i've completed the palace (full interior) and did a little tweak on the main plaza's main fountain, also finished the noble section of the city/kingdom

this is one part, there are two part by the other side, a total of 10 mansion/houses since there's 10 seat in the throne halls, so each mansion/houses represent a general or important elven figure within the king's council (in my story, idk im making lore here and there while designing and pooping)

and here is the change in the main plaza, i already posted a picture in my other post, but i changed it now, to this, which i think is much better, i used arcane sanctum as the main decor piece

i tried to look for custom elven doodad models in hive, but there's not much i can use (all creator will be credited when i upload the map when it's done.. if.. it'll be done.. ever) so i use the unit as a doodad, i mean in campaign there are some cool tower units which i can for sure use for this map, i think it looks.. a bit overwhelming ? but who cares ?! IT'S ELVEN ! GOLD ! EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE

a frontal look, didnt cover all part, there are still parts of the city/kingdom i've yet finished, like the outer region of the commoner elves, i planned to have it outside the main city walls, and have it look more nature like around trees and all, but i'll see how it goes, maybe i'll change my mind again by then, but you can see the palace at the back, that gigantic part in the middle is the throne room, i kinda like the look, reminds me of olympus

the port, is half finished, i think this is harbor ? bay ? idk the name, but you all know the use, it's for ships to sail in, and i've set up some space for a market and stuff, and even some housing too maybe.. idk

(THAT HYDRA was supposed to be a center piece, like a tower ? i dont know what to put yet, so i just put a hydra, maybe it'll stay... or not.. im trying to find a good custom statue model, or.. if not, then the dinosaur stays)

that's the update, i did my best, and i keep changing things.. which slows down the process, i might look for recruits to help me make the script for the map for triggers and such, once i finish the map, since i now have a lore (came up to me when im pooping the other day) but idk.. i might do it myself if im suddenly a genius, or i might just get lazy and just post the map as is, for anyone else to use like i originally planned

i think you can make a LOAP in here ? or even RPG, or castle defense ? using this map, i just hope someone would use it if i didnt manage to (once this map is done)

one more thing, this isnt silvermoon, i dont like silvermoon, i think silvermoon's too messy (just a personal opinion) i did see some custom map of silvermoon that people made in here, it looks much better than the original campaign, but it's still messy and uncoordinated in my opinion, though i know it's how it's supposed to look (elves and nature stuff)

thats why i combined the architectural style with humans, but i did prioritize the golds, to show the elven feature more, thanks for anyone reading this, just leave a like if you read this far, to make me happy (if you'd like, im lonely, i need attention, take it as giving me a donation in a heartfelt click)
