After about 5 hours of reading tutorials I decided to put my semi-new found knowledge to the test and make a showcase map to fool around on. Here are the results (link to map at bottom):


Picture of the top left of the map (yes I know the map itself is quite small).

I kinda tried to utilize a tide trigger with the water levels but it didn't seem to want to work. However I still like how the little "holes" in the top right portion sort of fill in and out (would have been cooler with the trigger i think).

I played with lighting a bit but it was a bit epileptic... slowing it down made it go even faster so I just left it out..

I know the waterfall could use A LOT of work. I figured out how to make a more decent one during the process of finishing the map but was too lazy to change it all (will have to wait for the next test map).

Anyway.. Enjoy (I hope).

Feedback is much appreciated as I'm still pretty clueless.

sounds like fun. I'll try make one

Im not claiming to be an expert but because I terrained in SC1 I had to disquise blocks without making it seem like I was hiding something, so all the trees on the hills and none on the right seem to not be one environment and state that you need to alot of doodads to make it look pretty.
