Warcraft 1 with modern maps

Well, it's no secret that Warcraft's universe has changed considerably from the days back when I was a kid, not even yet in my teens but starting to get fascinated with gaming even at that time. It was this game and a year later Command & Conquer that hooked me on PC gaming and RTS's. Let's fast forward to today, World of Warcraft has given us new layouts of the world. Map designs that finally bring Azeroth together as never had been done in games past.

Thus, this adventure has started. To remake Warcraft 1 using map design concepts from WoW. The key to remember while I do this is to note that most of these 'designs' have to come from before Cataclysm since that totally redesigned the world. Though many of those 'old world' maps still show hints of the areas that were simply unlocked with Cataclysm and as such, its that line I am trying to walk with this.

The first map I'm working on (Please bare in mind, this is literally just a first showing of a concept and is in no way shape or form polished, as it is simply showing a direction) Is the Blasted Lands as I have an idea of how I would like the RTS to play out and a very different first mission for Humans and Orcs.

All that said, here we go, only one image but at the very least I think the texturing has the feel right. Though the bottom left side needs done in a different style.

Another thing to note is that this is purely just a passion project right now. Simply honoring the games that got me into this business in the first place.
