I wish to hold a challenge for those who do not remember some older blends, and for those who think that they might like to learn how to terrain. There is really only one way to learn how to terrain though, and that is to practice. So, in order to better yourselves I have a list of various landmarks in terrain, and wish for you to construct them.
This is not like the terrain competition, which emphasizes aesthetic values of terrain and ability to match with a theme. This is a puzzle in which competitors must match a doodad to a set of criteria.
So what do I want from you...?
-=:THE LIST:=-
1. A ramp that goes from low ground to low ground without raising to highground in the middle. (So that in crossing it, a unit would never see above the terrain around them.
2. A cave/tunnel that can be walked through without use of teleportation. (So that clicking on the other side of the tunnel would cause the unit to walk through it.)
3. A tall cliff with an overhanging ledge. (So that the top may be larger than the bottom of the cliffside. Extra points if you can get various shapes on the overhang.)
4. A very large tree. (Think deku tree.)
5. A large temple/building with multiple levels and doors to enter at each level. (For elevator fun?)
6. (In jungle) Temple structures joined completely to ruins. (Not even ancient cities had streets made from grass.)
7. (Also in jungle) Two ramps to raised jungle from directions other than the premade doodad. (So the raised jungle can be accessed from the top, or from the lower left.)
8. A small stream. (A body of water using no open water tiles, yet not simply being a small puddle.)
9. A fence. (Sounds simple enough.)
10. High Ground to High Ground Cliff face. (Should be easy.)
11. A wall which can be attacked over, but not crossed. (Even by Zerglings .)
12. (In jungle) Temple stairs to high ground. (Difficult to pull off correctly.)
I know that all of these can be made successfully, and most of them can be done with perfect blending. Some require sprites, which I will allow, so long as the blend cannot be otherwise. Those who attempt one of these tricks will be revealed the old version of the terrain trick, and those images which I feel reflect a new idea will be placed on this post.
I hope there are people out there that want to try to do some of these, because I really don't see many of the blends anymore.
None.
