Hi, I was wondering if anybody here have any tips on how to make building scenery with the terrain/doodads/sprites. If you don't know what I mean check this map I found while playing on Battle.net USEast. It looks just so clean.

A lot of those are extremely blocky, and the rest use one of the space platform tileset's sprites over and over (thats why you can walk under it).
If you have a simple editor like Xtra, or the default, then you can't make terrain like this. You need SCMDraft or Starforge - preferably SCMDraft because it can copy/paste tiles. Basically you will make a shorter version of building (outpost), then copy and paste tiles in the way you want to make it taller. You can also only do the outline, then add sprites over it so you can walk under it. Just practice doing it a lot and you should get better.
This should be in the Terrain section btw.

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

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
