I have a very simple mapmaking idea that has not been explored by anyone so far. As I do not have the time to make a proper map, I have decided to share it with you, because... well I consider it very interesting.

If you decide to use it, please mention me in the briefing of the map/when the game start.

The idea is very simple - take an old map, Lost Temple for example, and copy paste its terrain into a bigger map. Then create new terrain around it. For example one could extend, or enlarge a 128x128 Lost Temple to a 192x192 or 256x256 map e.g.:

[image loading]


I obviously suck at map-making.

You can use SCMdraft to copy paste the terrain.

The map I posted above sucks hardcore, but the idea is very innovative and could be only made by a real genius, such as myself.

Ok, the image beneath sucks hardcore, but this is how I would like to remake the map.
It would get 4 paths from main to main, which would be quite long, but should be wide and not tankable. These paths should have mineral expos and should have the same lenghts.

In addition, there should be two more "big island expos" and 4 smaller island expos (green), which would not allow much space to build.

I made a paint picture. You will laugh, because I dont have the time to make the map, but you probably would like it, if I had the time to make it

[image loading]


Green spots - island expos (6 new), blue spots - mineral only. The "paths" should be not buildable, and wide enough to prevent terran to block it.

I think I map a map like this once. I didn't copy an existing map but I made the dimensions way bigger than was needed and filled the area around the actual map with water, making harrassment and drop play much more viable.

Ima find it and add you in the credits

I think they should make maps with narrow pathways, like those 5 mile long bridges that cross over rivers and bays, etc. Long, narrow, escapeless pathways, and see how that factors into gameplay. Hold lurker ftw.

In case you're wondering, people are laughing because you expect people to give you credit for a vague idea that's probably been thought of already. Most likely there's a reason it hasn't caught on. If you think you can make a map like this that plays well and prove everyone wrong, then go ahead, people may support you on that. However if you expect to just pass off a random thought so that someone else can do all the work in making the map, and then give you credit on top of that...well, that's pretty funny.

I think korean map makers should make an island map with beacons that act as teleporters.

I thought about this. I even thought about it in relation to LT. Then I dropped it. These maps are hard to balance they keep looking forced/botched and it is better to start a map from scratch picking up ideas from older maps. See the faatasy maps that were a fad for a while. I like 256x256 maps but only in FFA's.
Keep the ideas going and learn to refine and test your ideas.
