Here are my latest map sketches. I don't know if any of these will ever see the light of day again but I figured I may as well share them

Legend
the ( looking lines are mineral fields/bases
X = Xel'Naga Tower
\\ || // are ramps
colored areas are void space
o = Destructible rocks
G = Gold minerals
^^^^^^^ is LOS Blocker

+ Show Spoiler [(4) Enigma] +

[image loading]
nat might have slightly-wider-than-destination bridges, pending testing
Tower between nat and third that become more important on certain spawns
3rd Cliff may be smaller, potential imbalance
LOS blockers through center area



+ Show Spoiler [(4) Godless] +

[image loading]
Inspired by Kulas Ravine
Middle area is unbuildable
Rocks blocking in-base expansion
Rocks blocking backdoor between gold expansion and natural
tower inside LOS blockers against a wall around the 3 and 9 oclock expansions




+ Show Spoiler [(2)Fury] +

[image loading]
Spawns at 12 and 6
Will have a 6 or 8 tile wide choke into the main with half of it blocked by a d-rock (maybe)
haven't thought of any good places for watchtowers so i don't think there will end up being any



+ Show Spoiler [(2)Death in Fire] +

[image loading]
Spawns at 1 and 7
numbers around the map are cliff levels
LOS Blocker around the d-rock backdoor(front door?) into natural
tower watching main choke into third/natural
lowground middle with LOS blockers between middle and gold expansions



+ Show Spoiler [(2)Obisidian Inferno] +

[image loading]
might change name, having hard time picturing this on lava tileset
tower between LOS blockers at choked short distance path
short distance path aiming to be 20 to 25 seconds ramp to ramp with a probe
large d-rocks splitting the open third area
gold between the upper flank at 12oclock

if you could make the maps and make it play the track while playing the map instead of normal game music it'd be cool

I imagine that all maps that are named after Dragonforce songs would be exactly the same

am I right?

I really need to start working on maps again.. I have this one idea that I really want to finish but every time I try the scale feels "off", or it doesnt turn out the way I saw it in my head. Lately I've just been making "scenes" in the editor like this:

It's pretty fun but I'd like to make some melee maps again.

These look pretty neat! To be honest it's a little hard to follow on paper, but overall they all look pretty good(I'm saying that having NO idea how Death in Fire works, I can't imagine it at all O.O). Great job nevertheless, you're definitely a map-maker if you're using class-time to brainstorm maps,

Starcraft and Nevermore, my two favorite things.

Enigma and Obsidian Inferno look pretty sweet. Maybe it's just the scale of the sketch, but would the Xel'Naga tower in Obsidian be able to give partial vision into the main?

no, the scale of these drawings is never quite right. I'm thinking the tower will give vision to about 75% of that choke
