That's the first question. The second is: Should I use the cityscape brick wall cliff thingy for a wall that has regions on top of it, or is another better for the job?

Cityscape brick wall can be used I guess. Maybe barrens cliff too, for ravines - but you'll have to augment it with doodad rocks so it doesn't look too monotonous. ...Cityscape may also need to be augmented 'coz the flat images on them don't really look good alone.

Blizzard cliffs are fine, they look better then cliffless if used right, also NEVER use a cliff tile to make a wall if you want it to look good.

Blizzard cliffs are bad because:
Heights etc SUCK at blizzard cliffs,
they look horrible,
you can't chose cliff texture,
you can do it better with making own cliff and:
they disallow pathing.

Isn't disallowing pathing the main purpose of the cliffs? And you said just that they are horrible and they suck. Why they suck?

Disallowing pathing and look are 50% of the reasons together, both have the same parts.
Well they suck because:
1.) They are flat
2.) You can't decide the tile
3.) You can't do more then 2 cliffheights without needing of an additional place.
and:
They are overuseD!

I still don't get that guy. Is he referring to like "nice looking terrain" or playable terrain?

Grass tiles are also overused. I hereby declare that grass tiles PHAIL!
If you use grass tiles you are from now on bad at terraining.
That's an equally valid argument, isn't it?

PatruX 1 - Anachron 0!
But, PatruX is right, there is so many grass tiles, and in the end, the terrain dont matter, as long as the game is good and fun to play.

Ok, so you talked about general tiles and I talked about cliffs.
Is there any diffrence? YES, cliffs do horrible things with tiles while tiles
CAN be combinated in all variants. Also there are more tiles so you can place good looking variants on ground. But how to if you only have 2 clifftiles each tileset?? Also you failed the main talk.
