Description

Description
This is a purely art map. The concept behind it is some tree-dwelling terrans have managed to build a huge siege tank. The tank is being powered by the buildings on the cliffs. What I enjoyed with this map is playing around with doodads of different sizes. It gave me some troubles later when I tried to find some good angles to get screenshots, as I designed it basically as a zoomed out in-game-camera-angle-of-attack. Lesson from this is, if you are doing an art terrain map, then you should design it with a few set viewpoints in mind.
