Post by: Revo on June 11, 2007, 03:38:30 PM
What do you think is the hardest types of maps to make? Towns, mountains, grasslands, beaches, or any other area? And what are the easiest?

For me...
Hardest- Mountains
Easiest- Indoors

What about you? :blizj:

Jeez, I'm special! :D

Easiest: Towns
Hardest: Indoors, because it's so hard for me to make them big and manage to fill them up well.

Hardest: None. I'm just lazy. When I get something done, though, I really have something.

Easiest: Probably dungeons. Probably because I like making dungeons.

Easiest - Gotta be Deserts, Caves and
Hardest - Churches, (I dunno, I can't stop making them too spacey :-\ ), houses and castles, (same there too) and Marshes/Swamps, in my mapping lessons with Unoman, I filled 'em up to the brink with junk and crap, and he still said they were to empty and clean O.O

OH! And shit ship decks, how the hell do you make a full boat with that?? Honestly T.T

Nouman (or was it Jalkson? I think it was Nouman) made a nice tutorial on it. Check the Tutorial Index for a good swamp tutorial. ^_^

EDIT: It was Nouman.

Easiest - Mountains (time consuming, but simple), all Indoors

Hardest - Ships

Easiest - Ships, Interiors, Nature type outdoors. (Forests, deserts swamps, etc.)

Hardest - Towns.  I can never get them to look right.  Always too cluttered, or too empty.  Not to mention closing the town off, so it's not open on all the sides, It looks funny surrounded by trees, or a fence, but how else can you do it? :P

Yep...No doubt the ship set sucks, so I'd say that's the most difficult. But I think caves are probably the easiest to map.

Easiest: Towns, oceans (It's BIG and BLUE), deserts, caves, inner

Hardest: main map (Too big! gotta fill up every bit of space!), forests (I'm OCD with the trees)

Takes me the longest to do: main map, Mountains (I fiddle with them too much)

Easiest: Forests, Plains, Indoors, Beaches, Mountains, Dungeans, Castles.

Hardest: Ships. As a mapper, Im ashamed that I can't map with that crappy tileset.

If anyone has problems with Forests, plains or indoors, check my mapping tutorials I have posted. They are easy for beginners to understand, since I made it very simple.
