well

I think olympus is very concrete theme, perhaps the "Home of Gods" would be better (like valhala, olympus...)

molten core? what is it??

The world tree-i think it is too much concrete theme, imho most of terrains will be similiar

River styx-same as olympus, better "underworld"

atlantis-or maybe some Utopia island, like from thomas morus

mysterious-on the other hand, this is very abstract

ilussion-can be good, but maybe you can specific what kind of illusion


U are fan of greek mythology, arent you :-D
 
I agree. I think a more specific theme would make the contest even more competitive, which is good. As for the no imports, doesn't matter to me either.

You have a good start for theme ideas Void, here are a few others.

-Historical (Re-create some sort of historical landmark. Rome, The Colliseum, the Pyramids, 17th Century London, Great Wall of China)

-Space/Sci-Fi (Would probably need imports)

-Recreate a scene/location from another video game, providing a picture that you based it off of (I think this was a suggestion before)

-Heaven/Hell (Make one of each)

=)
 
Space/Sci-fi is a theme that's long overdue.
However, in order for the theme to work well, you'll need to permit all imports ('sept game rips etc).

but wc3 is not good for scifi anyway.

Wc3 ain't good for terrain in the first place ;)

But anyway, aside from my sci-fi proposal, I also like Child's idea of a Heaven/Hell two picture competition. Kinda reminds me of the Seasons challenge.

Heaven and Hell are a little limited though. So how about... opposites. Two terrains that share some characteristics but are exactly the opposite of each other?
 
-Mount Olympus - Huge mountain with big people on it? Eh, it's alright..
-Molten Core - Explain plox?
-The World Tree - World tree doodad ftw?
-River Styx (or just the underworld) - Well, that's better..
-Atlantis - but MadseN already made it - people would just strive to copy
-Mysterious (maybe too broad...) - yes, too broad - but Mysterious (thing) would work
-Illusion - aren't illusions meant to look real? It wouldn't really be an illusion
-Historical - that's a good one..
-Space/Sci-Fi - D: Nowai. Sci-Fi isn't cool on WC3 : |
-Recreate a scene/location from another video game, providing a picture that you based it off of - I tried to make a contest out of that, everyone complained, saying it was too closed etc. I think its a good idea.
-Heaven/Hell - well, now that'd be interesting... but it'd be a bit like "peace... FIRE FIRE"

Gilles wants blue theme, it's okay with me.
 
Right, we could do that, and I still say it needs to be a restraining theme this go around. If I make a blue doodad in my terrain, is it blue? If I make the whole thing green but a blue fog, is it blue? If a city is floating in the sky and fiery, is it Atlantis? No. Underwater city? Yes.
 
I like blue, it's different.

I really hate the "copying another games terrain". It's just lame imo.
Sci-Fi would require a lot of imagination, and outland would probably get abused.
Something like Atlantis or Olympus is too close to the construction theme.
Epic has been done by wc3creations, and there are a lot of crossover members.
Heaven/Hell is bleh, and it's a lot like the seasons contest.
I also don't really want to see another no-imports.
