Yup, i just fixed the 2 o clock mineral wall, and after i make a few more i am going to put them into a map pack available for download, it would be great if people actually picked them to use in tournaments xD | ||

If in TvP Terran gets the center control I can't really see what toss could do. If toss has expoed to his inner expo, terran can siege it, toss can't really get reinforcements out, so terran can destroy other expansions. And trying to go around over the south ramps won't really work, since Protoss can't really do much when Terran is aware of that and moves a bit of his army back to defend that ramp. Might take a souther expo, but Terran can probably push there really easily too. A second exit out of the main might help with that, since Protoss can stream out his units to the north, and from there flank the terran army. Also, a Zerg can't really build a sunken line from a 12 hatch at his nat, leaving him at a disadvantage against terran. On the other hand zerg can just mineral hop the the blocked off expos, giving him a 3rd gas where he only has to fear drops. (how much minerals are in there?) Just some D+ Terran thoughts. | ||

Kinda like Ungoro Crater, if Terran uses a slow push (especially since the distance is short) with turrets and stuff, toss is gonna be in deep shit. Also the lack of a sunken line means Z has to get a third hatch below the ramp. is the desert map 128x128? standard 2 player maps are usually 128x96 or 96x128, since 128x128 is kinda big. not a problem, though | ||

Many changes: + Show Spoiler + - 3rd base(min only now) had its minerals closer to your main cliff, preventing your workers from getting tanked/stormed etc from units in the middle - the bottom part was cut out, replaced with one expo instead of two - 2 mineral only bases were added to the top corners - a 2nd ramp was added exiting to the north from your main, blocked by mineral patches (56$ each) - the ramp is placed better to balance all races in defending their nat(ecspecially zerg) - a few minor doodads/terrain moving around thanks for the feedback, i didnt notice a lot of things that werent so balanced/could have been improved | ||

Now it has 4 per player, just like Blue Storm, but this map is not as easily splittable. Yeah I noticed the splittable factor, which is something i didn't want to make a big part of the map, like blue storm, because i often hear alot of toss players complaining about PvT being imba due to that. | ||
