Need help with terrain

[Skycraft]

I don't know what to do to make this look more jungle themed, and I would love your input on how it should be done.
At the moment it's really just a rough block of land with some tiles added.
Thanks.

Also, if you have any images or something I can look at to get inspiration off, they would certainly help as well!

EDIT: Just a quick note I forgot to add - I want to make this playable so I'm not using UTM.

Was this picture ment to be like there would be mars of humans or its just naturally came into this shape?

Well i think it would look good if you make an ruined outpost what has been overgrown by nature.

Other suggestion would be and island. Surround it by water and then make maybe something like this:

Hope this helped you.

I supose you could make the jungle around it and a temple in the centre of that hill and definitly more tilesets. I do not know if you use the UTM (Ultimate terraining map) which contains lot's of doodads to make a good looking jungle. If you do not have it just check the terrain section there is a sticked thread which says UTM if i am correct.

@The_Olorin
Hmm I'll give it a go and see what I get, thanks for your input.
It's meant to be like a starting town area but I want it to be jungle themed.

@Dr. House
I don't use the UTM, because I want to try make this playable.
I'll try it out! Thanks for your input.

You can simply export models from the UTM and use them. But if you do not want to use custom models i understand. Anyway i hope my advice was a bit usefull

Even if its playable, you should import couple doodads from UTM, cause they aint so huge, that game would start to lag if you just import some. For exsample, maybe take some frens, they mostyle fit with jungle theme and some plants and couple trees. It should take max couple houndred kb or even less.

yea, make big trees. make them walkable if you have to.
