 + Show Spoiler [Picture] + ![[image loading]](http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt55/KinosJourney/Destination21n.jpg) Basically i removed the tight middle from the original and made it a bit more open, i think it will be fun to play on. Also the desert tileset sucks so im aware of the deco being bad but i just suck at this tileset If you want to download it, you can do it [url blocked] UPDATE: Added bridges to middle and a few doodads.    | ||

The tight places will really make the map imba. Forcefields will be ridiculously strong if you can make your opponent engage you by a bridge. I believe the only way to counter forcefields is to make the maps bigger/less narrow  On April 25 2010 05:58 Marradron wrote: It seems also the ramps to the 3 and 9 oclock expansions are too wide compared to original. Harder to hold like that I guess they are pretty big, i'll make the minerals there high yield to make it more worth defending. | ||

In original Destination, the terrain and bridges in the middle not only make middle areas more defensible, and thus worth defending, they maintain multiple avenues, which results in a wider, more defined range of army movement options. If you look at Nightmarjoo's map making guide (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=95409) he discusses linearity and pathing and how they relate to the number of viable paths. The original Destination had quite the bevy of viable paths compared to this incarnation. Now I will admit that part of the huge difference between BW and SC2 is the effect of terrain, not just because of the difference in how high ground works, but also because of how the match-ups in general work. Therefore old wisdom from BW mapping may apply differently or not at all. I'm also personally annoyed that one reason you cite for avoiding "tight" terrain is one ability's supposed imbalance that doesn't even have a consensus around it. Anyways good luck with your future mapping endeavors. | ||

If Protoss wants to maximize force field effect he will just fight along the cliffs and expos along the sides of the map. He can bust Colossus antics there too, so literally the only confrontations he will engage in will be at his bases or yours.

I'd get owned when people abused the tight bridges and with the Forcefield being soo annoying in SC1 im experimenting with wider middles to make Forcefields a bit weaker. If you look at Lost Temple for an example; basically you can easily seal off half the enemies army easily which really makes protoss very strong. | ||
