I mean terrain wise.

Very blocky and ugly.

that has some cool stuff in it, i like the aquaduct. There should definatly be a human sacrifice ontop of the temple.

Heres my entry:
I knew everyone would do temple, and of course, i had to make something on badlands... This is kind of like I am Legened, the lost civilization of humanity after the zombies and plants take over



I guess this is probably one of those "sprite plastered" submissions. just on a side note, anyone can paint on a piece of paper, but only some can create a masterpiece. Sprites, just like square terrain, are a medium of starcraft, is there anything wrong with using the resources you have?

....just to clarify, i am not implying that i create masterpieces with my terrain... a masterpiece is all preference anyway... to some trash may be golden.

Let's see you make a decent piece of terrain.

@Rory

I like it. You should have had a few tigers running around

'Sprite Plastered'

Well, it's annoying when people, instead of finding a good blend, give up and stick a tree sprite over it. I don't see how this takes any skill at all.

And My sacrafical alter fucking pwns.

And yet it's still trash

Yeah i'll admit I really failed this time, but I put a suprising amount of work into it.

If you're talking about me, the only sprites I used were in my waterfall. And in my terrain, I rarely use sprites.

I'm not talking about any sole person.

Aww man rorys one makes mine look manky.And i dont think I'll be able to finish anyway....Rory, i dont suppose you want to help do terrrain for my zombie RPG?

I am Legend!

There is no crazy Marine on that map.

I thought it was a lost civilization. There's people in there D:

I'll vote for rory!

pm me with more details, im working on a mod right now and that takes alot of work but i might beable to help you.



i actually do have somewhat decent blends under the trees where it is null, i was trying to keep them visible but the sprites are too big.



maybe ill make a red sports car grp with will smith in it to drive around

This.



A lost civilization doesn't necessarily mean there are no people there. It just means it's cut off from the rest of the world.

I can't open pigy's map my editor gives me errors can someone take a screenie for me? ><

It sucks anyways.

Well, I was going for the lost, trashed city too, but after seeing the I am Legend, I give up lol. Puts mine to absolute shame. And IMO, well placed sprites can look much better than well blended terrain. Sure you can make bigger walls, but they're plain and boring. Sure you can make different transitions between different terrain types, but they're still boring transitions. Sprites allow you to give your terrain character, like how his buildings had the foliage running up them and such. Waterfalls look like crap without sprites. I'll take a sprite whored terrain that looks amazing over a boring well blended map anyday.

I think terrain needs a balance of both blends and sprites. I agree that blends can only go so far and that's where you use sprites to add little details and stuff. However, I don't think sprites should just be used as an excuse to cover up lazy and poor blending.

it doesnt matter how much of one or the other you use, just as long as it looks good and is usefull. A piece can have horable tile placement or horable srpite placement, they are the same. A big part of terraining is finding blends that look good, you can have tile to sprite blends too.
