Hi. I call this map fire! The symbol in the middle of the map is chinese for fire so that's why its called fire lolz.
QuietIdiot helped me out a ton so its thanks to him too!!
(Just making this a blog so that I don't make a fool out of myself again).

[image loading]








The Edited One: I changed the positioning of the minerals in the starting locations and I tried to close up the third expansion a little more so that zerg will have an easier time. I'm also finding ways to redo the island expos so this isn't the final version yet. Hope to hear more criticism

I brought Smiley back too if you didn't notice :D:D:D

Looks okay My first concern is that Zerg will have problems against Protoss with the location of the third base.

Are those mins up against the edge of the map thats always a no no need to leave space at edge of map Also id consider making the island like expo more island instead of a point where you float a building and tank it so ez or goon harass it. Also need to do something about the size of the extra expos they are very open it's alright if it's just a few but all of them encourages taking bases far form your main

Much better job not that i can map make lol
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

Looks really good. One tip is to try and make the terrain colors at least a little asymmetrical(pretty sure this is what they do on the Korean maps). I think it would make it look pretty professional and polished.

Seems like it would be pretty standard macro map going on as there is so much room in the main to set up your buildings and it's impossible to drop the mains. Looks nice though GJ.

2nd maps a bit nicer than the first, but, the 3rd base is going to be death for zerg. It's really undefendable =/

Seems easier than on maps like Othello.
No I'm never serious.

Yea, not very aesthetically pleasing IMO.

Interesting map, but I think it could be improved. Maybe the next map should be called water, a better looking element imo. Earth looks ugly... Air would be too hard.
