I havent made a melee map ever but i gave it a try after finding out my map editor had a MIRROR option >> Well, i came here to ask for information about my map because im not a good map critic and its wrong for me to judge my own map.

I think it's good for Z. I also think the 3rd gases at the top and bottom should be a little more accessible... mineral wall and buildings is really a pain.

Mine a mineral with 2 Drones and stop 1 drone from mining so it unstacks into the expo.

You can do this with all races

Fix gas imba please. The problem with any position except left or top is that they're imbalanced for each specific race. Top and left have similiar harvest rates for each race, but down and right are really imbalanced depending on which race you have. It's just a mess.

yeah this

which is why mapmakers try not to use horizontal mineral layouts of starting positions

yeah and once you fix the gas positions it becomes non-mirror and things like mutalisk harass will be more or less effective depending on starting position.. bleh

If you use units they don't appear

The top two naturals seem more vulnerable to muta harass because of their orientation. There also doesn't seem to be much room to construct turrets behind the mineral line; a bit like the original bluestorm.

But then they cant go on higher grounds or into water after harassing the minerals safely assuming you have defense near the cliffs

???????

he's saying the nat mineral lines at top are much easier to harass than the bottom ones because the top ones are right beside the cliff while bottom ones are right at the edge of map

I like it. People will always compare it to the best of the best maps (where someone makes them for a living) and complain about the smallest things.

I think its an awesome start and an outstanding first map. Dont take peoples suggestions/complaints the wrong way, they just assume every map needs to be a pro league map. You should be very proud of your first creation, I know its way better than the first ones I've made.

Some of the suggestions are good though, just done take it personal haha. I'd definitely move the nat minerals out a little bit so you can get defense there. And maybe make a third gas easier to take. This looks like a really fun map to play with friends though :D

The biggest problem right now is that in vertical positions, Terran can both protect their cliff while at the same time attacking the enemies. This wouldn't be so bad if Protoss could get to the mid-game, but it's looking way too easy for Terran to just decimate them while even if the Protoss tries to counterattack, Terran can just move some of this units cliffing the opponents natural back to his when he see Toss move out.

Actually, the biggest problem is that its uninspired. A nice enough effort since you just got into mapping; I'm not trying to get you down. I'd just like to see your next map show something you think other maps don't have.

Do you have any suggestions what that would be? Why not orientate yourself at the things that are tested and work pretty well?
Besides i think he added new ideas to the map, like the tunnels next to the islands, the access to the naturals, the possibilites the location of the min onlys offer and more stuff.

I was unsure because some of my friends said it was Protoss (wtf..) and others said it was Terran. I thought it was Zerg at first >>

Also hide the poll image in a spoiler or something. Btw this map reminds a lot of ragnarok.
