This week, it's time for another Do That Doodad in the WTE! For those who missed the previous ones (WTE #67, #77, #91, #99, #123 and 132), the concept of 'Do that Doodad' is that I pick one doodad along with a minimum size, after which you are required to build any kind of terrain you like as long as it includes the doodad in question. This time, the doodad of choice is "HotS - Explosive Mine Entrance" while the size is "At least 200". This means that you need to use the doodad 'HotS - Explosive Mine Entrance' in your map with a size of at least 200 - aside from that you're free to terrain as you like.
Hoping to see what you guys come up with. Good luck, and have fun!
I considered that idea when I did the first Do That Doodad, but the thing is that it isn't really needed. For a lot of doodads, size 200 or 300 is already so large that it's huge and that a lot can be done with it. Size 500 is really only needed for doodads that are otherwise tiny, like Barrels.
I am thinking of something epic but I may not have the time to start or finish it, but here is a gunship I made for the Arial battle I was thinking of doing.
Overall, I like it quite a lot. Though, I thing perhaps some more ground detail and details around the top of the cliff would be nice. Also, perhaps some slight amount of fog inside the entrance. It would help to break up the harsh contrast on the Thor, and would also help to hide the fact that the tunnel thing doesn't actually go very deep.

"They told me I could become anything. So I became a gunship."
Damn you guys and your original ideas, I was hoping to see actual mine entrances! :P
@Mozared: Go
Original ideas to make. A scarce thing for me to come by these days. :(
@Mozared: Go

If you use multiple instances of the doodad, must the all be size 200+? Or can there be smaller ones?
@yawnamana: Go
Only need one big one.
