westin444 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The problem is the fact that the combined hight of the two cliffs at front don't equal the big cliff on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidsal Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 It is a depth issue I should of proberly worded the question differently. The issue is that the cliff when extended does not look great anyone know any shortcuts to get around this or am I gona have to redo the front section of the cliff.

ddunit Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The top cliff is supposed to be as high as both cliffs combined, to make it more understandable ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidsal Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 kk map updated can I get some crit I am happy with it except for water tiles. I really need some rounded water tiles to get a better river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Looks nice now.The water tiles are fine enough, you did a great job mapping the river course, it isn't straight, the only thing I think you need to remove are those wierd things sticking up out of the water.

zidsal Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 removed most of the objects in the water but then it looked wired so I just removed the whole lot looks nicer now. I also fixed 2 mapping errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 In my opinion, maps like this are ugly. I don't know why people think lots of tiles and cliffs means good maps. I always look at the mapping competitions and puke a little :PIf you can make a less crowded map but still beautiful, that's real skill to me.

zidsal Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Normally I would agree with you on maps being over crowded as all it does is end up distracting the eye from the game its self. But ironcally the zone description is against you in this 1 :P. I was trying to go for a forest thats very over grown with a range of different plants (only thing I dislike is using the same tree over again but alas I'm lazy).As for the land being hilly there are two reasons for this:1\. filler and because landscape is not flat. (thought its not flat then hilly then flat again ever so I'm going around in circiles here).2\. The zone difficulty is split up in height where the first few levels are on the massive hill while the last few levels are in the lower depths of the area near the river.

westin444 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 A- Missing Tilesb- Unrealistic for a fast flowing river any points that small would be eroded away.C- Bad placement + The branch that is in the left C circle is made to be completely underwater + Two completely intact stone columns up there? Why would someone have them positioned like that?Rock on cliff:It's is way to close the edge and why the heck is it covered in algae? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westin444 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 ok, it just looked like algae to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidsal Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 I never mentioned it in the last post but thanks alot westin444 as the high - lighting of the map was a great help. I've uploaded the latest addition. Brownie points will be given to any who can spot any more mapping mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westin444 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hope you don't mind, but unless you are going to have a lake or something to the left of this map the left end of the river is to wide. Bump the bottom left tile up one space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
