Some of these look kind of nice, but the lack of cropping ruins them.. Add fog though.

[Oziris]

Well ther is a fog and i will take the pictures again.

Those green ones are decent, but the orc base is just a bunch of huge custom models. Not a whole lot of ingenuity. I suggest using smaller doodads to make cool things.

 

[Oziris]

Well mybe i will work on it and see what i can do.

 

[Klipso]

these remind me of a combination between 2 towns in WoW

booty bay,
and the orc town in zangarmarsh

 

[Oziris]

I think this map will be for playing.

 

[NearbyHermit]

The Horde conquered the World Tree,this will be a good map inspiration

 

[Oziris]

But i dont know how to make units walk on stairs and the lumbers that i have made any help ?

 

[Deathcom3s]

making units walk on stairs is a pretty easy process

1)Make the doodad/destructible walkable, you can do this in the object editor

2)go to bridges/ramps and place an invisible platform small or normal, i usually use small it usually makes it appear smoother

3)after placing your invisble platform, raise the doodad so that the bottom of the purple box is even with how high you want the unit to appear, don't do it too low or else it makes the unit sink, but don't do it too high so that the unit doesn't appear to be floating, just do that all the way up the stairs, you can use the same process with walls if you want to make them walkable.

i have a pretty good example i could show you, it's of a coastal fortress i'm working on, but it's currently on TheSandWraith's computer and i haven't asked him to send it to me yet.

Hope this helped you.

 

[Oziris]

Well thx it helped i will get right on it.We have reapers avatar...

 

[NearbyHermit]

Or make invisible platforms and raise their level,it is pretty simple

 

[Deathcom3s]

i did say to put invisble platforms then raise them.

 

[Oziris]

Ok ,ok plz lets start commenting the terrain...

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Ehm..why don't you put in some fog?

 

[Oziris]

Well i puted fog but the fog is on the ground !

 

[ghenjis]

Not bad, but don't orcs usually mow down trees rather than building around them?

 

[Oziris]

Well i wanted to make something new and interesting not all the same like orcs on the ground.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I think its geniune + Rep

 

[MoCo]

I like it!

What about creating a defense-style map around this?
So maybe the orcs conquered/build this base within a mysterious creepy forest that is full of ancient creatures.. now they have to defend themselves against all dangers..

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I don't think its playable.. or then rather very hard to make it playable =/

 

[MoCo]

Of course it'll be a lot of work to set up all the invisible platforms for the pathing. But maybe Oziris has already done this?!
The attackers could be flying.. or ground but dropped.. or jumping so that most battles take place in the fort.

What about real large trees surrounding the fort, covered in fog?

 

[Oziris]

Well i dont know i will use it for my Dragon Slayer map but i can make a defens map i dident think of that...
