Are these kinds of "micro-cliffs" still too unrealistic?

How do I see which texture palette a certain static uses? How do I assign a different texture palette to a static from the default one it uses?

i really like your terrain work!
you might need to adjust the terrain a bit after applying textures to avoid ugly distortions though.

Ye that's looking much better although I would really smooth off those sharp corners a little as they will morph really badly at even a smallish distance right now.

But you can't change the texture palette it uses, without reworking the whole statics UVs as well which requires it to be imported, fixed up, re-UVed, and this for all its LODs too, then re-exported.
But if you want to do some edits to a current palette for your map, like for example how tents are tan on desert maps, and green on woodland maps, or like how the city buildings are much whiter on Muttrah than on normal maps, then its a matter of making a new version of that texture palette with a new texture suffix.

Thanks for the feedback and links guys

I'll be smoothing off those edges and using the projection mapping on the river to make it look nice after I've settled on the general shape of the terrain. Just wanted to check that these kinds of micro-cliffs are believable. There will be also more "flat parts" that infantry can use to swim back onto shore if they fall into the river.
Now I get to do the fun part of choosing vegetation and laying out villages

Any tips for avoiding the problem where the SecondaryTerrain patch gets corrupted and turns into a spiky noisy mess?

??:
I've had to undo several hours of work several times now because I keep having to use my backups.

Make new surrounding terrain, import.
