MAPPING CONTEST 2K3

While I'm not very experienced with the maker itself, I did some okay maps a few years back. It probably won't be anything spectacular, but I think I'll enter just to see if I can still do anything decent.

Nice! It's a tank running over some guy xD Took a while to figure it out.

Here's my entry:

Link_2112, very nice!

except for where the castle is right on top of the water XD

I recommend against using grass -> water as it just makes it look bad. If you could edit the tiles, then that'd have been good to just fix that but I bet you can't. If I remember correctly it was taken from an interior in Dragon Quest.

Anyone doing so might want to consider making a sort of moat or making it look entirely man made instead of natural as the lack of transition makes it look very squarey otherwise.

this was a great experiment in making samey castles

That banner is from an old screenshot of mine haha.

this was the winner of one of my old 2008 gw mapping school threads, kind of funny how you can forget the visual quality from back then and before

Thanks, is that a vote for me? ;P;P

There is no good tile to make it look like the castle extends into the water. There's 1 piece of castle/water but I didn't like how it looks, plus it wouldnt look right to use on the pillars in the water so I figured it would be best to not use it anywhere. Everyone else has the same restriction so for the contest it's not that big a deal. If I could edit it wouldn't look like that! :)

Yeah, I got to thinking about that last night. I'm used to working with more natural tilesets for the most part. Fixing it right now.

Fixed. I replaced the old one with the edited one in my submission post.
