The power of mapmaking

I just came across those screens from some chinese mapmaker. Actually the maps are not playable, the purpose is to create uniques layouts.

Amazing.

I especially love the first picture, and the 8th one (with pegasi). I don't like when the same object is put next to another so many times like he does sometimes.

I try to give some kind of good layouts to maps too, but not as good as these of course to avoid playability problems. Possibilities given by the editor are almost unlimited, and it just nedds more shrubs, more hills, more trees, flowers, lakes and foutains

Anyway, we could do it there too, like the creature contest. Why not create a layout contest ?
That could be fun...

EDIT : Let's see if some members are interested in, I can be a judge...

I am glad to tell you that I have made a try like this.
Below is a map I made a few months ago. There is a lot work to be finished, but it is playable.

I have a little tool to save a gif from screen. I can send to you by email, if you like it.

@Shyranis: Shining Force, yes.

@Warmonger: About 4000, 1 GB in all, impossible to install, basically have to download the whole LOD. The first reason why modding H3 at a large scale is not practical at all.

I'm commenting a dead post (again ^^) but hey, this is so awesome, so inspiring. It would be a challenge to make those layouts playable.

Well, you can. All the layouts you see above, including my previous screens, are now part of Era graphical mods, downloadable and usable in seconds.
