My ones.

A simple one, thnx a lot to the makers of Ultimate Terraining Map, I named it "The Last Stand of Elves against the Horde.
The story is this, the Horde invasioned to Ashenvale and after years of combat they completed building a whole Citadel in the middle of Ashenvale.
I hope you're gonna like it. Look.[If you can't recognize what is shown in the last thumbnail then click on it or here]

I was about to un-accept terrains after mid-night. But I'll open an exception for you. To the other guys, if you submited your terrain in pages under 20, please consider posting and re-attaching them to your post, so I can locate your submissions more easily.

I thank you for your consideration, Rui. Assuming that no one else has any qualms about it, I will be posting the pics in about 3-ish hours, at which time it will be midnight for me. Should I fail to finish by then, that's my fault and there is nothing that can be done about it. Once again, thanks....

EDIT: Okay, so this will have to do. It was originally supposed to be a swamp hut, but ran out of time for the hut and its immediate surroundings.

Anyway, WIP shots and final submission, in that order:

My first WIP for the Barrens Tileset: an Orcish Naval Fortress. I am planning on making an additional section to this terrain, which will be the landscape beyond the cliffs/spires.

Ohh you could do a fleet of Orc Juggernaughts and Warships/corsairs defending the base against an alliance naval attack!

The Ashenvale Master is not decided yet. The contest of Barrens has not officially started, but I guess it's ok that you place screenshots.

Either way, I will not announce the tileset that comes next to Barrens, for I think it should be 1 month exactly, regardless of the 30 or 31 days.

My main reason for wanting to use the rock is that it is solid all the way around, so if you look at it from the bottom you dont see a big hole. This makes it useful for areas where rock formations are seen from multiple angles (ex. tunnels etc.)

Edit: Some WIP of my new terrain since the naval base idea is already being used.

Edit 2: Some more WIP (3-7)

I mean... Arcane Temple is more of a Dalaran theme. GL though.

I suggest using the Gul'dan Runes on Totems, that would look wicked.

Naw not the traditional temple, more D2ish, but hte outside is def barrens

I have most of the inside finished, but that part doesnt look barrens at all. The outside is the most unfinished part at the moment

And Herio-san, I suggest you add something like a valuable resouce for your camp, I mean the Tauren/anyone else would not have made a rondom camp anywhere, it has to have a oasis/goldmine/war outpost or something.

Well heres a picture of the inside of the temple and a WIP of the outside, the outside looks horrible at the moment. Hopefully the inside will turn out the way i want it.

I was looking at the tilesets today, and I am worried a bit now... For example, take the Dalaran tileset.
There's nothing wrong with making a terrain in Dalaran, but I fear that in (the next contest) Dalaran Ruins I won't be able to make a decent terrain, simply because dalaran and Dalaran ruins are basically the same... same goes for Black citadel and Outland and Village and Village fall. then I also realised that the Lordaeron's are actually boring terrains. Especially because there's already a better tileset for each Lordaeron tileset. Take Lodaeron Winter: everyone agrees that Northrend (or Icecrown glacier, but I think there are too many differences between those) is alot better. Village fall is a better version of Lordaeron fall (IMO...)

What's your opinion on this?

I also noticed that Barrens comes after Ashenvale. Is it on purpose or a coincidence? if it's on purpose, I'm worried that some tilesets that follow each others will be bad for my inspiration. For example if I just did a lordaeron winter tileset, I don't feel alot like making another winter map in Northrend. Same goes for Cityscape and Dalaran (which actually ressemble alot too).

My suggestions (which you really don't have to take in account, but whatever): When for example the Cityscape contest starts, you should get the choice in picking Cityscape, Dalaran or Dalaran Ruins. This way the next contest won't be in a similar tileset, and the contest time will also be decreased (to 1 year instead of 1,5... by that time everyone already left wc for sc anyway, so...)

Well we're going in alphabetical order which is why barrens if after ashenvale. Also, Rui stated that Outland/Black Citadel would be paired together, same i'm assuming for Dalaran and Dalaran Ruins. I think for the Lordaeron one we should be able to pick 2 seasons out of the three and do them. Rather than all 3.
