Tactics-style Terrain — PoC
This map was made for fun to see how well I could re-capture the spirit of a "tactics" game type battlefield. It is mostly an aesthetic display. Though I'm currently working on a bigger project, this was my first "completed" terrain map. Most of the time spent on this was just playing around with getting the terrain to look cool. The height-mapping took very little time.

Well, actually this method does use more than 4 heights! It's just that for some reason I only made 4 height levels in this map... I suppose I should have put some more height levels in there to make it obvious, heh.
Funny that you say you think you know this map. My goal was to capture the feeling of an FFT map, but it isn't based off of any of them in particular, nor can I recall many of the maps since it's been several years since I've played it. I guess I succeeded! But yeah, it must have been my subconscious, because I think I know which map you are talking about.
nice, now if someone would only figure out how to get more than 4 heights in sc2 haha
Think i know the map too, from FFT (psx) there should be logs where the land bridges are?
