I was looking through the threads here and saw something about terraining. I wanted to ask if someone can tell me exactly how to use custom terrains, how to import? them and where to get them from. Is there a tutorial about that, cause the custom terrain look a hell lot better that the lordearon tilesets and such.

Thanks :p

Sorry to burst your bubble, but they were probably requesting people to do a terrain for their map, which basically means the person makes (or improves the already existing terrain) the map terrain and then sends the person the map so that he/she can use it for their map.

And terrains are actually made with the loarderon tilesets and etc, but they look better because of custom doodads / good doodad placement / good camera angles, but you can't overdo it or the map becomes unplayable (in fact, most of the terrains at the terraining board are completely unplayable).

Here are some tutorials that can help you make terrain for you map:
