wait no i got it. its the bit where the edges of the rocks have All the Snow Ever, and the bits with no snow look like theyve never had snow at all!
such a map would need custom textures indeed
I think he means Nineaxis and his early detailing of Runoff.
EDIT:
Here:
Ravrage needs to finish his detailing of that map, the newest version looks great

Last i heard it was dropped because who ever was working on it, nineaxis/ravrage/ravidge couldn't/didn't have the time to put into it anymore and is now available for anyone to continue working on it (within reason).
That's exactly my point. It's not an attention grabbing gimmick, it's no different from any other legitimate theme, and there in lies the problem. It's just that most players tend not to make the association of a desert and snow (that isn't a tundra), because that's more specific/niche knowledge than the other themes. It's not the artists fault he knows more about the world than certain groups of players. Unfortunately for any particular artist trying to make a connection with his viewers/players, certain compromises to his narrative are necassery to reach and be accepted by a wider audience.

Heh, you make it sounds like adding car chases to a Dostoevsky novel.
I assumed from the start that the desert snow map was based on an environment that exists. I probably should've clarified that.
I think some of the jarringness lies in the simplicity of the contrast; mixing desert and snow seems like a gimmicky idea someone spontaneously got. Mixing brick and stone walls seems more like something that has to be based on observation.
Wait. I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying. Why am I arguing?
Yes, because the compile process skips... skip brushes, it's a useful alignment tool, i've seen it used to align overlays too, in cp_badlands. At least that's what it looks like.
Those buildings look great Aly, though their height is blocking a lot of light, it might be practical to increase the sun angle or at least provide some lamps in the lower areas.

I have a prefab of a cubemap entity enclosed in a skip brush at just about the player's eye-height so I can plop 'em around the map quickly. I'm pretty sure this is what Yyler did.
Also @Aly that looks cute as hell.

This maybe me just coplaining but, I really do hate that transition from dirt to nice and 'posh' room. Needs something to beak it up a tad... somehow
If that is hella, I don't know what a posh room is doing there in the first place
EDIT: you probably don't need all those lights on the chandelier.

Put a bit of a landing outside and broken down doors on the floor in the direction people are attacking from.
I might be wrong, but I may have done exactly that for manor
Also I agree 135% with godslayer on this transition.
