I thought i would show a rough draft of the the smaller city from what will be my next map after i finish my current project with ETEFT(U) for the SEN winter contest. I apologize for the map revealers, i forgot to remove them. I didn't do a tone of sprite placement to cover rough sections yet, but i thought i would show off some of my own unique terrain to inspire other terrain designers.

It looks decent, for buildings. It isn't exactly "unique", since others have done buildings before. In some places, I'm sure there are better blends, but I'm not really familiar with badlands structure.

Your right the buildings themselves aren't very unique i was more going for the placement and little details i added. But yeah it's rough i wasn't going to show it off but i thought what the hell.

I love that little dirt section in the middle especially, definitely something you usually don't see in city scenes people do. Overall it looks pretty good, you have some terrain height problems, but it all looks good to me

i appreciate the positive feedback. I know exactly what your talking about with the height but when i designed the terrain i designed it with a map in mind rather then for the illusion of realism. The way i have everything set up is so when i do get started on the map i have tones of room in the roads for my cinimatics and for my defensive missions.


Basically the idea will include a viral outbreak and you will watch the city sort of turns into a post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

I'm not overly impressed with the bare terrain, but I like the way you've used terrain as a feature to integrate with your buildings. Generally the terrain and buildings seem somewhat separate from each other, but you've merged them together in a pleasing manner. I like it

I just tried my best to make the streets wide enough for the unit placement that will eventually be there, thnx for the feedback =D

Wow, you actually finished the terrain, it looks good bro. You said you wanted me to help with this project right?

it blends way... on the first look!
as soon as I have "opend" the picture, I saw many blocky things.... I don't know if there are some tiles which much better than these, but I think there are... you should overwork some things [like the top of the "towers" at the top left of the picture... the light fields are blocking the top of the buildings]

and... @ ETEFT: do not posting such small informations like "you like it"... you should give some help for making that terrain epic...

I absolutely love the top right corner part.
The medium raised structure edges could be improved, but without a comp with scmdraft, it's kinda difficult for me to explain.
the dirt part is fabulous and perfect in every way.
Now the only thing I didn't like were the thin twin buildings at the top,
apart from the bottom and roof, to me they didn't appear isometric at all.
Again, w/o scmdraft it's difficult to explain, but look at some of Rory's buildings in his latest city scape before he went modding.

EDIT: there's also a way to decrease the blockyness on some builings. Look at Rory's stuff and you might notice.

Do you think I could get the map of this? PM it to me or something? I'd love to add it to the Terrain Compilation
