Since apparently none of you like Fulla or you all felt too vague about the Trivial Pursuit terrain, I figured I'd try something simpler. This week's subject will be: "The Death Star". Star Wars?! Yes and no, my friends. It's a theme that randomly popped up in my head some time ago: I'd like you guys to make some evil-themed big bad-ass (possibly planet-sized) spaceships capable of leading a faction and housing an army. We've had custom build spaceships, but this one will have to be mean looking and ready to kill puppies.
It's been a bit quiet lately, yeah. Hence also the no update, not been too motivated myself here (also distracted). It's been quiet before though. I'll post up a new WTE on monday and we'll see what happens. Worst case scenario we see some more people with HOTS, I think.
I agree. I'm sure once Hots hits and the whole community is woken up, there'll be a lot more activity here. Not to mention, the full release of HotS will bring new art tools like campaign-exclusive doodads and such, which will definitely spark the creative spirit in many mappers (including myself).

I do terrain stuff.

And in a Starcraft haiku,
...
That's all I can do!
Had something in mind last week but I didn't think I'd be able to finish it in time. Since there's a long weekend coming up (hurrah for public holidays), I might be able to finish it by Monday.
I think you could've matched the colour schemes a bit better, but it looks nice overall. Lining the whole thing with red would probably make it a lot cooler. Right now it reminds me vaguely of this guy...
Weekly Terraining Exercise #112
Hey hey folks!

Hope this inspires folks a bit more... Good luck!

On an additional note, keep in mind Fulla's map still stands open if anyone wants to jump in on that.
Awesome idea. I approve this message.
I sense a sudden disturbance in the force, pity I lack the time to enter.

man the WTEs have been ghost towns. I'll try my luck this evening if for no other reason than I hate to see these threads suffocate.

I'd love to chip in sometime, but this one sounds too time-consuming.
They just want a doodad/unit that looks awesome. I would help but a functional walker is not qualified.

Ready to kill puppies...
Really makes me want to participate, but I have some serious stuff to do for analyzing the Canadian risk-regulatory style.
I started a map for this a few days ago, but I just wasn't feeling inspired. It didn't get very far before I canned it.
+1 for "Will be back with a vengeance once I have access to HotS assets."

I tried this one, but... I just drew blanks. Sounds fun to do, but very difficult to put together.
Can't have a WTE without a submission, come on guys...

Looks like a battlecruiser with a bad haircut... Not exactly Spaceballs1 from a certain Mel Brooks film.

Sadly the Raven unit beat you to it.
