TW - Help (Layout,Scenery,Gameplay)

TW - Mapping Help

I recently started at mapping realistic TW maps.

My first attempt will be a burned down forest,with a fabric built in
it may sound confusing but some screenys may clear things up :





And an overview of what i have so far.



Now i really do not have any idea if this looks good enough to be a real Trench War map,i have to add allot more scenery in the bunker and stuff but if it's not the right look it would be a shame if i continued on this map.

Now i need Help with the Layout,any tips?
or even better should i complete/finish this map?
If yes a Name idea would be great  ;D

I don't understand
do you mean that there is a /faceplam commmand ?
and this command should drop a random item ?

how about a pretty awesome suggestion:

get a notebook and draw the layout of the map into it, then make the map.
why is this better than other options?
because:

noone will take the authors rights from you in case this map turns out to be astonishing.
the map prevails and does not fall out of your time schedule
there will be a layout- you can work on the layout even for a year, because you don't have to memorize the map. but just draw fragments until you have a whole ready.
YOU DON'T START PLACING SCENERY BEFORE THE LAYOUT IS COMPLETE.
you can draw scenery.

there is a random map name generator on the SML site.

The layout looks boring, maybe have a huge bunker in the middle or something.

Just improve on the layout, i think you could make a nice tw map.
