Those submissions are beautiful, the forest waterfalls was nice and most of krakka's beach was nice, i liked the SOS sign on the sand, that was a nice touch .

Good luck to anyone else who participaterd, you can work with someone else (2 people in a team) if you want to .

Bump!

(It was on page II)

Well this is a big map project (terraining wise) that I'm just doing a simple melee map...except it looks more beautiful than usual

Here are some shots I thought I'd put up.

This is the main grove of rocks and shrubbery in a middle-of-nowhere clearing that gives Hidden Groves its name. Well...it's not the only grove, but it's the nearest one to player 1 and because player 1 usually owns the game, it's a rigged society centered on his base

Don't go thinking this waterfall is too wimpy. Any ship going down the center will be in for a surprise!

As you can see, there ship was quite ruined when it fell down that waterfall and they had to lug it to this location. Over time, they built gates and gathered a treasure trove of items in their barrels from recent raids.

Perhaps gathering berries next to the camp of ex-pirates was not such a good idea....

These guys have justed made themselves at home and they are not friendly.

Aside a small piece of scenery, this river crossing is the shortcut way to player 2's base (from player 1's location).

Looks good, but maybe a few more Environmental doodads would make it look really good.

One thing i must ask you and kc, how will we communicate for deciding the winner? do you both have MSN?

[Sargon]

[Killfest2]

Thanks for the compliment, but who/what are you talking about with the AIM/MSN thingy?

 

[DM Cross]

By the way guys.

If you DO submit your map for reviewing, please title the map
<YourName>THTC

THTC = TheHelper Terrain Contest.

Thanks

 

[Killfest2]

So do we have to submit it? And if we don't, will we lose marks?

 

[DM Cross]

Well, consider it this way:
We can look over every inch of the map. That's good.
We can look over every inch of the map. That's bad.

If you're having a problem with screenshooting, from not knowing how, to just not being good at it, you don't have to if you submit it.

No, you do not HAVE to submit it (I think.)

Lose marks? Of course not. Atrocity, I say!

But it can work in your favor.

Then again, it can work against you

Up to you. Judges can't hold your hand, man

 

[Killfest2]

OK, I'm going to get a couple more screenies.

BTW why isn't this stickyed like the Ability Contest?

EDIT: My submission has been updated.

So in light of the brouhaha that just occured over at the Cinematic contest, I think that we should restrict this contest to entries created specifically for the contest, too.

Seconded.

 

[Killfest]

Well, terrain screenshots is not something that people make for people to see outside of these competitions, so that really isn't needed.

 

[Sargon]

I meant the map.

You can easily create something new and beat us all, you know. If you really want to win the contest, do that.

 

[Sargon]

Heh, enforcing the 24-hour ban, huh. Might as well have deleted my reply to the post, too.

 

[Rinpun]

Thanks for the information, killfest. I dunno if I'll place more though, because I like to keep my count down. It's a LARGE map.

River to Sea​

Yes it's a wierd name I know. After experimenting around a bit, I came up with this, without really meaning too.

Hidden on a remote island, this island is seen by but a few. It is said to of been touched by magic from old Lordaron Scholars in which now, it can never be tainted by evil.

After harmlessly strolling around, the Beastmaster and his pet stumble upon the beautiful land.
