Yes, I'm gonna use this in my campaign. Here's how it works: Make a large area of "water, shallow", then add snow ad elevations. It should be the same elevation as the water around the edges, but then raise in height graudally. There should be no flat spots and no ice. For wispy edges, cover the ice coastline in bridges and use a trigger to remove them. This screen is from what will be the end of the Blacksun Series (it is in its own epilauge scenario). It is unfinished, as it needs gods and a few small temples, but I think you get the idea.
Also, using those cool cloud thingies from Rasher's scen can be added for a cloudier look.

Good idea, though some look like puddles.I'm also gonna make smaller clouds around it. The problem is what eye-candy to put on the clouds, from flying over in a plane, They're damn empty.
You want fries with that?

To add to the cloud effect, add some tiny squares of dessert around the edges. It takes time to make it look good, but it might give you a shadow effect... This is what I mean. Actually, try it out with the other terrains. That is how Anastasia got the wave look to be different than plain snow on shoreless water. Hope to play it soon! (thats' not Blacksun III, is it...)
Nah, I might as well tell you, that's the epolauge after Part IV where SOMEONE dies killing Dermetron.

Thanx Kestrel!!! I was looking everywhere for a way to design a sky map, for that's what Chapter II of The End Lies Beyond Chaos was going to be set in. I don't wanna spoil it for you by saying what sort of stuff happens, but all I can say is something that isn't too much of a spoiler. Once you follow Xenophon through the Dark Portal you end up above the clouds and have to follow him to his "Cloud Castle" (as you call it ) where he will tell you the whereabouts of [spoiler]-----[/spoiler] (I'm not telling why, you have to find out yourself ) and several other things will happen. Of course there are going to be flying horses you have to take up there
(I know it's a VERY old idea, but Hussars look like horse with wings and can be used as flying horses)
I owe you one

Thanks.

Again, thanks !!
