looks like it's nice but I would really like to see it in a higher quality photo!

Good, although it needs more doodads 
None.
doodads will come later =x. what would you recommend for taking screenines? i just used paint.exe and the prntscreen key lolol
None.
That's fine, just don't shrink it so much like you did. Shrinking down to 1/2 size is probably the limit, any smaller and it's too small. Also to increase visual quality you can crop out the editor window and just show the terrain itself; that way you can keep the same resolution image but increase the size of the stuff you actually want to see.

i see. thanks for the tip ;D i believe that was 66% zoom.

Try to avoid straight edges like the plague. They can ruin really nice blends.

I really like the spacial trickery going on here - first with the water that seems like it should be flooding onto the ground, second with the land that seems to get significantly higher on the right of the wall I also liked the coloms at the right end of the bridge/dam, it almost looks like a mini staircase, though it does get a bit blocky at the top of the 'staircase.'
The bridge/dam itself (2nd picture) may be a tad repetative, and would prolly benefit from a mix up or a sprite here and there for some contrast. I'm also not sure about that tree sprite, it must cover up something but that particular tree doesn't seem to fit.
Overall good work!

As general advice, I would like you to consider the following tricks:
1.) Use mirrored terrain only when it is man made (good for stairs and your fountain).
2.) Make sure that terrain which is natural, has all of the natural curves, juts, and jags that it would have in real life.
3.) Avoid blockiness or the look which terrain makes when it just simply wasn't meant to be.

Still going.. strong is debatable though.[2026-9-28. : 4:13 pm]
WeirdoX4857 -- I can't believe this is really been around since 2003 but it does look classic and old asf still better than talking to kids on discord ranting about skibidi toilet and sexuality or whatever mental illness is going on in their heads[2026-9-28. : 4:11 pm]

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
