This map I made is interesting, due to the map being mountainous. It have lifeforms and some trucks carrying around crates and unloading / loading. So, I hope you guys enjoy it and Feedback / Rate please Smile

The center of the map tiberium field. It is protected by mutants! Kill them!

The ocean with some blue crystals and lifeforms and light towers.

The trucks carrying the crates and load/unload.

Civilian city near the water.

Looks good, nice detail and lighting.
Cliffs are somewhat squarish and too straight.

Shame TS doesn't have retint triggers

I agree with what he said. the details are getting pretty decent. But the cliffs are somewhat blocky/too straight in many cases.
Also the Cliffs to water cliff transitions are missing in all except maybe 1 spot where it's a corner cliff front to back one.
You seem to be leaving out cliff connector pieces for the fronts of cliffs. Which is somewhat odd considering you have them on the back side parts for the most part.
Your backside cliff slope ramps are missing an additional cliff to slope pieces to make them run down. Right now you're just putting up cliffs to the edge of the slope part. This is actually a common issue with new mappers.

Lighting looks decent from what I can see in the pictures.
There are quite a few shore errors around the map

You Vein Hole area needs to be redone. Ingame it probably looks choppy and straight edged as there's not enough room for it to grow outwards before having to stop or go up hills. Typically it's a good idea to give 2 cells worth of flat space in every direction around the vein hole monster part. You also need to sink the VHM down by using a single cell slope tool. And not the single cell height tool. This way when the VHM is destroyed you have a 1x1 indent on the ground with slopes around it instead of a random spot in the ground that's lower in height.

Your truck trigger seems to be fine. My only adjustment I'd add to it is a small delay before it switches appearance from being loaded to unloaded and from unloaded to being loaded. Reason being is...well it's just more realistic as a truck doesn't just suddenly have it's load vanish on it.

One other thing that bothers me in a realistic way is the fact you have city buildings on top of high cliffs with no access or anything around them. But again that's more of a realistic thing.

Overall you did a pretty decent job. Hopefully you continue to make more maps and to improve.

Ixith's reply basically sums it up. I like some of the cliff work, like in some places of the second screenshot, but especially in the first and fourth screenshot they're too straight. The details are good though; while they could also be better, you're improving. The lighting also ain't bad.

That would be most likely to be lighting effect. Just make a trigger that changes the color of the ambient color every 60 seconds or whatever.

The problem is that doing that is impossible in TS. You can only alter the amount of ambient light (Ambient= in the [Lighting] section) via triggers, you can't alter the color of the light itself (AmbientRed, AmbientGreen, AmbientBlue) in real-time.
