3 Words: Squarish, Huge and... squarish, and this is bad.

Make smaller and rounder terrains, and make your details more natural, starting with removing that waterfall wich doesnt make any sense.

Try a fourth time.

Thank you,And Next Time I will Work with your Word's.
I think It's better then the last time :P last time they all were like (Tutorial's now)
 
use normal grass, don't place random doodads which seem out of the place. and if you do, arrange them in a more natural way (water lilies for instance)

eventually you'll start using Raw, the sooner the better!

Next Time ;) soon. (Am gone do what you said)
And pm you With my New Thread link (Tommorow)
So you Could Check it out And see If it's better or not.
 
Sorry but this is terrible.
Stop using big brushes, use the smallest one, always if you want to use autoborder.

Arrange nature completely randomly, not in symmetrical patterns.

Also, stop multi Posting and also, if you wanna bump your thread, post new pictures then?
 
Well this is even worse than the other ones in my opinion , so I suggest packing up your bags and picking a new career
 
Just because it still sucks doesn't mean he should quit, as long as he keeps practicing his mapping skills should advance aslong as he keeps active and practices and is willing to get help from better mappers for those that offer it to him, I'll gladly help him myself.

@Ns Sparkz, pm me your msn.
 
For the People Who Didnt Actully Like it And Wrote how Could i Improve it Thank you.

Please stop capitalizing the first letter of every word, its getting on my nerves. But to the topic -
Picture number 1: Remove the waterfall thing, makes no sense, don't make random stuff. What's up with the random huge fence area? Is it a garden or something? if it is, add more flowers, maybe a bench and a fountain? Also make an entrance to it. And the random river, wut? Erase it. Use normal grass not that one, and the house is empty and the walls you chose aren't good for your type of city.
Picture number 2: Completely bad, sorry, too much randomness and makes barely any sense. Seems like a x900000 mapping piece.
 
If you make a map, best is to give everything a function. This will make it look more realistic.
For example if you make a house, what kind of house is it. Is it a house where someone lives, add furniture, is it a shop, add shop items. If its a buyable house, then make it a reason why it is on that place (is it some vip island?). Same goes for the white stone walls, why are they around that place. And the fences, also there isn't really a reason why there would be a fence since there is nothing in it.

About the walls/grounds, best is to stick to a few types that match. And if you make the houses a bit smaller with different shape and maybe some architecture it can also make a better effect.
The nature is mostly a bit empty, you can use the light grass and add some bushes/small fir trees. Also its better to use a few types of trees that match on most parts of the nature. Like: 2700,2701,2702,2707,2708. This will make it look more natural.

Overall, it looks like you're quite new at mapping and mapping is mostly practise. So keep it up and you will get better :)
