Well, I always make sure the lighting is as clear as possible on lowest settings, everyone who cares about clarity plays on lowest settings anyway. Abyssal City also has a clarity problem on high settings but on low settings it turns out fine.

Some more screens of a map I am working on, this texturing is a tiring process:

This is really top-notch stuff. The texturing on the small tiles in the 2nd pic looks incredibly time-consuming, I think it would drive me mad lol

Really, I wish I had the patience to even make one tenth of that quality that Etcetera blasts out.
If I wore a hat, I'd take it off for you.

Do you mean an overview?

Well i have been working on this map for a while now and i still don't feel that i have finish with it, the biggest part about this map is that i'm not sure about the texturing of it, i just don't know what to do with it, it just doesn`t feel right, i have retexturized the map a couple of times but i just keep feeling that it isn't right, and i would love if you guys can give me some advice for it or at least tell me that i`m going mad or something.

The upper right main texturing isn't finished yet, and im thinking in re texturing the left bottom one

The map is 160X160 and it takes around 55 seconds from a main to another, and ~62 in cross positions, i have another version of the map without the xel`nagas since i think that without them the map would play out better

its probably the fact you are using alot of different designs in the map. it kind of looks like a mess in overview, but at game level, you don't see the whole map, so the way you flow the designs into each other here will look pretty cool. i like it alot.

at the same time i would advise you not to go too overboard on the texturing and save yourself some sanity, because in the end, people don't play maps to ogle at your ability to use size 0.5 brushes

while im here, the ice world doodads are in hots are probably some of the best blizzard has done for all the tilesets
im talking about the the cliff doodads here in particular, as most of the others are missing

That's kinda what i was trying to achieve with this map, give the feeling of areas on the map, it's nice to see that i achieved that even as you say it messes with the overview of the map.

btw 0.5 is waaaay to big man, 0.25 al the way! (god these tyrador bricks where a pain in the ass)

Oh yeah i totally agree with the cliffs, props to the artists that did them, i have been messing around a little and these are trully amazing i can't wait to have a bit more time and make an ice map just so i can use them

Yeah these light roads are force fields that i redimentioned in the data editor, it was fairly easy, just a little messy, and now im trying to learn how to make cars go around in the freeways, i hope i manage to make them work and not just crash and burn :$

Here's a substantial number of screenshots from a map I'm currently working on. The lighting isn't where I'd like it to be but I think that the terrain is pretty.
