 Oh,it's like in Red Alert 3

[Spartan184]

Exactly what I was thinking Ruudy!

And here last screenshot:

[Fudge]

So Ruddy have you dabbled in mapping before? I ask simply because the quality of work is impressive. The cliffs remind me personally of AOE III which only had cliffs like the ones in your map above.

[MattTheLegoman]

Yes it also reminds me of Age of Empires III, it certainly is the easiest way of making nice looking cliffs (it also misses out on texture stretching).

More epic screenshots:

Compare this!

Yeah, that camera angle's much nicer

Nah, you're right, the more contrasting sun gives a nice jungle-y feel, which I like.

we improved a game engine a bit. now bfme looks like red alert 3.

now we are working on water. hope to see result like this:

So out of curiosity how does one "improve the game engine". Could you give some more details on this.

THORONGlL, just wait for presentation of my project =)

Need a suggestion about wall texture:

[Kwen]

I'm finding it hard to find anything bad about the texture at all. The only thing I do not care for is the high contrast between the side of the wall and the top part. It looks a bit odd to have the top part look almost white, with the side being much more dark. But that is a minor thing, and only opinion based.

[Goldtouch]

Can you put 3 segments(connected) next to each other to see what it looks like?

 

Ps. How many gigabytes will this project consist off

As it is geared towards a HD mod - I am hoping for a couple of extra GBs in this mod. =D

 

P.S. I will recommend three things from the vanilla Gondor wall:

• Castellations - like the split oval shaped ones on the walls of Minas Tirith
• Pillars
• Carved decorations on the walls and floor

It was started as HD mod=) Now it's more interesting project.

As you wish =)

 

 

PS:Oh, now it's about 100-150 mb. We are working only on Gondor now =)

The wall texture is seamless as it should which you nailed like a pro  .

Perhaps you can scale down the stones "tiles" on top of the wall which in my mind would make the walls seem bigger.
So this is the wall without the upgrade I presume. So you'll have to make an even more fancier version  

Perhaps you could play around with the 'house colored' flags on the wall. 
If you plan on simply disabling the house colors as lots of modders do, I think its an big mistake gameplay wise.

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Perfectly executed, as ever. How you manage flawlessness in such simplicity is a mystery.

[Dark Lord]

nice work, with relation to the size of the wall. is higher than the normal wall gondor?

[DIGI_Byte]

took me 3 seconds, and I spotted the divides, Like a pro.

Looks really good tho, wouldn't hurt to have some extra trimmings on the mesh to help blend the parts together by distracting the viewer with detail
