Well, it's not bad, but
-I don't think it's a good idea to make a forest scene using the cityscape tileset. You can't use the strengthes of the tileset, e.g. you have not many possibilities to vary the terrain textures, simply because there aren't many.
-Be aware of the graphic bugs if you slope cliffs
-Try to avoid flying water(falls)

Nice use of doodads! :)

People stop posting screenshots of other tilesets, or I'll ask Dark Shadow to close the contest.

Cityscape is the tileset I not good at, maybe even my worst tileset.

I made one screenshot of the terrain, but I think it will not be a winner. 8)

Post it anyways.

About the pic, I have my doubts.

About the contest: did everybody quite?

I made this map using the Cityscape tileset, but none of the pictures look like it. I intended to have a mountain city, but I haven't quite got to it yet.

Very nice restor!

That is like a monster custom doodad unit map. :D

nice screens, though I don't like custom doodad useage that much.

Well restor, I think the only interesting thing with your screenshot is the perspective of view... :?
There are nearly no doodads except the custom model trees, no variations in textures. Just some human buildings don't make a city and even less one that uses the cityscape tileset.

Terrainers should start posting pictures of 'cityscapes.' Save the grassy countrysides and mountain villages for Lordaeron and Village tilesets. I have not seen even a hint of a city tile in the last few screenshots. To the average eye, they would look like a village summer terrain with a modified tilest. Despite that fact, excellent terrains.

@Restor: As Waldbar said, you should play a bit more with the ground textures.
@VGsatomi: That's cool :D. That assassin is deadly :shock:

Wow I thought this thread died long ago haha. Hmm..were still on Cityscape? It really does look more like village. VERY nice though, but not much of a city look. There really good though, there's some good terrainers in this contest.
