Well, you had me all excited, because you said temple doodad, this is really a ruins doodad. But nonetheless, it's smexy! Making the temple look like it's in the ground was very original, good job.

Now, there's a few fixes, first of all, check out this tutorial the steps after 6 show how to use a different portion of the bridge to get less blocks when going from water to bridge to ruins.

And you should also check out this tutorial to figure out how to get those cliffs right, they shouldn't be that blocky, and it's not too difficult to fix.

Sorry I have to critique you like that, you really did do a great job, in fact, I'd say that if you fixed up the spots I pointed out, I would totally love to see this in the Hall of Fame, keep up the good terraining!

I'm afraid some of the blends in this aren't as good as they look in the picture, it's a very heavily compressed Jpeg (and therefore very smudgy).

However, the actually piece is pretty decent, but the surrounding area isn't particularly impressive to me, and I don't think it fits (the waterfall is also very blocky). Remember not to just make terrain for terrain's sake, give a feel and importance to your piece (don't just randomly stick some ruins somewhere). All in all, it's a very nice effort and pretty decently blended.

Falkoner, that tutorial needs to cover corners that you encounter when trying to "bend" bridges into a different direction (which can be done very nicely without sprites).

Well, I haven't made an odd-shaped bridge tutorial yet, and that's probably where I would explain how to do that.

It still seems to look nice though.

NudeRaider -- Oh_Man
Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider yeh thts straight up cheating
the mutas yes, the wraiths probably not. Have you even watched the video? ;)

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities
[10:09 am]
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
[2026-9-23. : 2:29 am]
Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?
[2026-9-22. : 12:32 pm]
Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[2026-9-22. : 8:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[2026-9-22. : 8:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.
