It's been over a month since I announced this project. An update is in order! Without further ado, check out these terrain pictures.

Element TD has to be one of the best TDs I ever played. and is still my fav. I am curious however, how did you get all those tilesets in one map? And I hope you do what other TDs right now lack.... Variety

Actually, the TD's we currently have are just... crap. Mediocre at best.

This? This will be the absolute best TD for alot of SC2's lifespan.
Now im hoping this is in EU

Glad to hear it is your favorite. There are actually only 8 tiles in the map. Amazing what a good terrainer can do! We will have variety for you, don't worry.

I have been disappointed with the TDs currently out as well. There is nothing for me to play at the moment as ETD isn't playable yet. This makes me sad.

That is quite a statement regarding Element TD. That's the goal though. I aim to deliver upon your expectations!

My hope regarding publishing is that Blizzard will implement cross-realm in patch 1.1. However, I have trusted people who can publish on EU and SEA if the need is still there.

One question, wouldnt the different editor codes affect this?
EU and NA have different editor codes, thus making maps between them impossible to play without remaking said map in that editor.

I don't believe this to be the case. Our terrainer uses the EU editor...

Furthermore, SotIS has versions on both NA and EU. I doubt they created the map from scratch twice.

Hopefully everything works out.
Otherwise ill have to put up with mediocre TD's for longer

Best of luck!

i was wondering when you were going to make this!
SS's look smexy.
there is this shit ETD remake out there i tried and it was poop at best.

im just wondering, how are you going to implement the elements into sc2? are you going to use custom models? cuz wc3 models were pretty much based around such elements, in sc2 its just aliens and humans... (suggestion, maybe stone zealot as the stone element you have to kill to get stone (or was it rock? god was so long ago cant even remember)?)

anyway can't wait. this was the bestest TD (along side wintermaul, but that was a maul so i dont know if it technically counts as a TD) in wc3. i remember i helped beta test with you and icefrog like... 6 years ago or something for an (was) upcoming update.

good times. good times.
nastalgia. loved wc3 when i played.

How'd you get the different cliff tiles then?

 

[Monsterous]

You can create your own texture "set", although with a limit of 8 textures, as well as a limit of 4 cliffs. You can blend the cliffs together as well if you tick the option to do so.

Omg, there are metroids in that tank. And is that a phazon elite in a that tank on the left??? (Top picture).

Also, i think i can see the old WC3 Forgotten one in the fog with the creep tumors.

xD: that's great looking terrain.

I could play laggy 1v1s in the beta, but until I have access to a newer computer, I'm not gonna be buying SCII. Glad to see ETD will be waiting for me by the time I'm ready for it.
