OK, if you looked at my post about tile based worlds, this is PART II. OK, I am starting to like my idea of having a hight feild for each tile, so I dont have terrices all through my land instead of hills. For More info, see the last bit of the old post.

For those who missed it:


__________-= PART I =-_____________

What would be the best way of representing hills and stuff on a tile. to give an example:

I don''t my hills to look like teraces:

     +--     |  +--+  |--+   

so far i have been thinking of having a terain lofting grid for each tile

(in 2D)

one tile

   -1-2-3-1-2-3       -       / |2     -  |  --     /   \ /1   -     -   

or, maybe a difret terain type in each corner (if I do the tiles in a higher resolution than normal (tiles per meter))

example (with terain types):
(again in 2D)

+---+|2 1||1 1|+---+  

and say 1 was land & 2 was air it would be like this:

 //+  

what do you guys think?
