So i basically never do terrain in isom. Is there any easy way to do the cliff terrains like on the snipers map other than picking them out in blocks?



None.

Eww gross! why would you want terrain to look like that?! it was the worst terrain ever... Well all he did was chose the high dirt layer and draw, then use the regular dirt brush to knock off half of the previously drawn high dirt... Then he took rectangular and made the "sniping spots" im supposing thats what they are... Really pathetic work :><:

Sniper maps aren't pretty... their more practicle, however some, like sniper balds are made with specificly placed terrain, that terrain is placed to create shadows and block line of sight to make it harder, it takes hours to make good sniping terrain, just in iso.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically
