Oh, okay this is interesting.

Well one thing you really need to incorporate in your map is Terrain mixing. For example in your city you hardly use anything other then city tile, which makes it seem a bit ugly. Also on your first bridge you should paint the middle bit black so that it actually looks like water could go through it...

I just noticed the resources. If you add 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.0 of every resource it will jump to 0 and still be infinite.

Looks nice, but you need to work on elevations more.

Email me when you're over 47% and I will donate my voice ;p.

I would love to help you with the voice acting, if my voice fits for any of the characters.

As for the map.. The terrain is extremely dull. They are right, mix the terrain types more, even inside the city there must be something green right? And elevation! In the nature it's the most important, go loose with the elevation tool and smooth it a bit afterwards.

To use elevation in the city would look good to if you do it right.

Bridge 2 looks stunning
The barracks made a very good mesh..
"Attraction" was actually a little bit better then "bridge2".

uhm, general melagius...I hate him...woudl there be achilles...but it looks nice!

jsut something:

at the bestial walls, those wall fo troja connecter aren't very good combined...

I had the same problem, so I did it liek this here:

Hey thanks guys for all the support and ideas. I didn't show any shots of terrain mixing. I only did it in the part where you battle it changes from grass to sand then to grass to snow. So what terrains would go good in the city? By the river, I added some dirty atlantis tile but in teh middle it's pretty bland so I'm going to need some ideas. I want to keep the same basic paths still though.

Thanks again for all your support and I'll send you your lines Yeebagoon and Nearch when I get to the chats and the cinimatic. Is there any specific person(s) you would wish to be? Thanks for helping guys.

Grass and dirt is good.. Round houses, the gate maybe? Maybe some part of the city is older then the rest and have a bit grass int he road? It's your map anyway.

Kemsyt would be the coolest

Ok, you can be kemsyt. Does anyoen here know how to zoom out in-game. I can in teh editor by pressing ctrl-alt-c or shift-alt-c but how can you do it in game? That method doesn't work for me.

Take a look at some more screenies I made.

u can't ingame. ingame, ur just able to zoom with limitations.

New house looks great. And nottud made a trigger that turns off camera limits ingame.

True. The best way to change the view for the player is to use the camera editor. Make a very short track or something just.

I wouldn't say your eyecandy is excellent, but it's definently better than before and you're making an effort.

You seem to have taken a fairly linear approach to terrain mixing. Try and shake it up a little, vary it a bit more.
A perfect transition of stages from one type of terrain to another appears unnatural.

Also, I think you would benefit from adding additional embellishment to your world.

Just keep trying, remember to look at high rated scenarios for examples, and remember to try hard, but don't overwhelm yourself.

Good luck. =]

To be honest, I though by adding elevation, it would make it look like crap but I did it just for kicks and I think it makes my map look 100x better. i only added it inb the nature part because I think cities should be clean and flat. (just my opinion).

I've got to say, loving terrain mixing and evil fortress although I don't know how "Evil" it really looks it is still cool.

Well done =)

Thanks for the support, I try my best.

Yes, in the nature its needed. You don't have to use elevation inside a city.. I do. Gives a good feeling. Anyway, still looking good.

The only time I use elevation inside a city is on stairs. It doesn't have bumps because bumps are too natural where as stairs are perfect for the cities. Each way has it's ups and it's downs. And each place has places where it looks better. Anyway, I cannot thank you enough for the help you have given me up to this point.

EDIT:

Quoted from Me:

I still am struggling with making the tiles look nice.... Any ideas?





Why do my threads die out so fast? I get like 5 replies overnight and 10 by the end of the day, but then after that, it takes weeks for just one more reply.

hi um i am doing one just like it i mean i am making a rpg also so what would you recomened
i have not come up with a name but i am leaning to everquest

how did you get the buildings to do that!!

my chezzy monky patch wont work

please help me i need it alot

Alright, but I'm sruggling with terrain mixing as well. I need to mix the CityTileA and I can't think of what to do and still make it look like a clean city. I need help too. As for your needs, you need to use a lot a lot a lot a lot of position objects and you need patience. Download reyks editor to make them face in weird directions.

All of your people are older than me, im 13... i could talk in diffrent ways... but how would i submit my voice?

If you need an older voice, I guess I'm uniquely qualified. I can do various voices as well..

My suggestions: Make the city flow together more, to me it looks like a bunch of separate towers, this is not very realistic..

But its looking good!

Thanks people for checking this thread. It's been a while.

My suggestions: Make the city flow together more, to me it looks like a bunch of separate towers, this is not very realistic..

as you can see, this is my weakest point. I will need to know exactly how to mix terrain to the best of the editors ability. Please help. And thanks for helping with the voice acting guys . When I get to that point in my map, I'll find a way to contacct you. Probably make a thread or something if you're not still checking this one.

( Is 15 btw )

It depends on the situation.. Really, you have to find out what fits best for yourself. Just sit down a while and experiment a lot, place more buildings and try different terrains just to see what it looks like. Afterwards you don't have to save it unless you came up with some good mixing

A tip; A real city is full of houses. That's like what a city is made of. A lot of people and their homes. Anything else is unrealistic.
