Terrain help.. please... i'll be your friend

I'm horrible at terraining.. if anyone would be kind enough to offer their assistance it would be greatly appreciated. The map is a basically a hero siege, but it is yet unfinished... (because i suck at terraining.)

and if u ask other to do it, you will never learn to. I think u should really try to do it urself. go look at the 'terrain showcase thread' at map section for inspiration

I've been making maps for a while, i suppose i need to be more specific. I'm fine with doodads and such, it's the cliffs that have me stumped, the water, all that. I can do it to some degree but not at the quality i would like.

I dunno how u can advance in putting cliffs but i do know how to get water without the edges

if u dont know: put water, then put cliffs in the water with different terrain so u know ehere it is, then u lower the terrain and there it is

I learned terraining just from mimicing Blizzard's work. When I was playing through the single player campaigns, I'd take screencaps of areas that I thought looked good. Later, I would open the world editor and try to duplicate what they did while looking at the screencap, learning how they placed their doodads and applied their textures and cliffs. Its a really fast way to learn and to build technique.

Elevation.. cliffs.. NOO TOO MUCH WORK. I believe that half of the problem is i don't have the patience, i know about water without cliffs though, i used it in my first campaign. I know the tricks i just can't make it look good. With the cliffs i am referring to those things such as mountains made from cliffs. I can customise tilesets, i am just unable to make anything look good on a large scale. It's like drawing, some people can do it and some people can't.
