I came across this trick by accident whilst I was messing about. To do it, deploy loads of berry bushes, then make it all change into a unit type and look what happens!
I think they are so good, I might use this on one of my maps but I've posted these here to see what you think!

Amazing! Although I do believe this trick has been used many a time before, it still can be pretty good to create some eyecandy. Although this trick is no where near as powerful as creating it yourself.
Good job anyways, it's good that you brought this trick to light for the newcomers that have not seen this trick.

Not that special. Why don't you just place the original unit down yourself

AMAIZING! very well made ideas though the amount of objects used may cause lag...right?
i know it's not as good as building it yourself, but it's quick, easy, makes a nice grid and looks cool, I might post a couple more onto this forum.
The green stuff is hespiride trees. I still think that it's not bad for something that I descovered accidently.
Q1 - It can lag if you have too many objects of course but it wasn't very laggy when I did it.
Q2 - It problem with plcing them yourself is:
It takes ages
You can't get them in a perfect grid
You would need to have room to place the objects in the first place
Anyway, I may post more images on this thread.

Well it looks slick but I don't think there'd be many opportunities for usage
I would think that this would cause massive lag if used in a scenario/campaign.

by your perspective perhaps, but to an older much more experienced designer such as persay The_Vandhaal, know such unthinkable techniques such as 'tricking the game configuration'...

And why not add another cool font to the discussion!
Not sure what you mean with tricking the game configuration, though.

I don't know about you guys but i'm getting tired of people posting new threads for practically no point... I suggest moving your pics to the Eye Candy Thread instead of making a whole new one.
No hard feelings

Sir_Dundo, this isn't an eyecandy showcase, it's a design trick. And you know what tires me? Your beautiful green font, and sandro's and yours italicness.
Never mind, I thought I wanted to show you all something different.

What object did you use for the second to last screenshot?
And the last screenshot with the Odin Towers rocks!!! Mind if I use it in my upcoming campaign?

use my trick if you want, thats fine but odin towers are a nightmare when changing.
dont have too many objects changing at once otherwise it will cause some lagging.
The second to last object are mirror towers.
Pahaps more images to come (If you want them)
EDIT: here are the last of my images I think I am going to post:
