I keep hoping that someone will make a completely custom tileset that is something totally weird!

It would remind me of an old game, Transport Tycoon, which also had different maps and tilesets. They had one 'silly' tileset. Here is a regular tileset in TTDLX:

And here is a silly tileset, called "Toyland", where you have lollipops for trees, and shoes for houses, and instead of transporting lumber, you transport ice cream. We need more like this in Starcraft:

Dante's stuff is really good. A landscape befitting your name, hmm?

Kind of a weird theme I'm working on:

Pretty sure units will fall through if you do it like that. I tried that kind of thing already. So you can't do holes in ground like that.

Also, I guess it's like Matrix-Glitch kind of thing.

I tried, they don't. Well, not entirely, there's a little stutter that *sometimes* happens as they cross onto the void. So if I can't fix that I might end up scrapping it, but it's worth a shot I think.

Yeah, so I've been doing a more in-depth analysis of what's going on, and it appears that only specific cells cause the units to fall through at their borders. While there does not appear to be any indicator of which ones will do this, the specific ones that actually do is at least constant with all symmetries and does not change each time the map is loaded, so I can hunt down the problems with clusters of probes and eliminate them.

If I do end up submitting it to TLMC, I'll likely get rid of it anyway since it's pretty odd.

I'm not very good at screenshots either, but like everything in the editor I've gained a small amount of proficiency just by messing with things.

It doesn't look like you Generated Static Shadows. Not every map strictly needs it to look good, but it generally makes things look better. You can find it under the data tab, or with the hotkey Ctrl+Shift+L.

You can hide the UI panel with I to take wider angle shots. I think you've done that in your pictures already.

Play with the color, height, and density of fog. When taking angled shots you might want the fog to be thinner than it is from the in-game view because it gets extra dense at an angle.

Make sure fog and shadows aren't toggled off.

Make sure your video settings are cranked up, of course. File -> Preferences to access those.

Ctrl+Shift+F10 opens up the lighting menu. Some people like to make their own custom lighting, personally I just stick to the defaults, and maybe change the colors a bit. Lighting has a huge impact on the overall ambience of your map. Just look at the difference between Bel'shir and Ice World Night, for example.
