[General] Seeking Assistance with World Editor: Custom Terrain Creation

[miasmith]

Hello fellow Warcraft enthusiasts,

I'm currently working on a custom map project and could really use some guidance with terrain creation in the World Editor. Specifically, I'm aiming to design a unique landscape that captures the essence of a mystical forest, but I'm struggling with achieving the desired aesthetics and gameplay balance.

If anyone has experience with terrain sculpting, tileset blending, or environmental storytelling within the World Editor, I'd greatly appreciate any tips, tutorials, or advice you could offer.

Avoid using blizzard cliffs, or/and put doodads over them as cover - works well with walls and gates, example:





And make use of the ultimate terraining map 4.0, especially for interiors.
