[PL] 09-10 Round 4 - New Maps

Tileset: Space
Size: 128 x 96
Positions: 4, 10
- Instead of the modern trend, which is making maps that are a combination of high and low ground and has multiple paths to allow engagements to happen everywhere, this is an all-low ground map.
- Design based off chess boards
- A billion possible paths for endless engagements
- Most expos are easily accessible without going through ramps and high ground disadvantages due to map being main all low-ground, so unit count will be important
- Island expos give more reasons to use dropships and air units.
- All resources are default at 1500 and 5000
Rush time: 36 seconds

Tileset: Jungle
Size: 128 x 96
Positions: 3, 9
- Heavy engagement-encouraging map
- Two entrances to main
- Bottom path for early small-sized army engagements
- Top path for heavy guerrilla warfare and huge army faceoffs
- Far third gas
- Main can be tankable from beyond the 'walls' that surround it
- Expansions at 5 and 7 have mineral patches at 1000 and geyser at 2000.
Rush time: 28 seconds (bottom), 52 seconds (top)

Tileset: Twilight
Size: 128 x 96
Positions: 5, 11
- Three different routes to mains gives players more options to use various strategies that suits their playing style (aggressive, defensive, standard, all-in, etc)
- All three routes are different. Fastest route has narrow bridge, 3/9 oclock requires you to get over ramps and 12/6 oclock requires you to get over two ramps.
- 1/7 oclock expos are safe and easily takeable by the players starting at 11/5 respectively
- But, for 3/9 expos, both players can take it. Hence, holding the center of the map (and the high ground surround it) becomes important for late game play.
- All resources are default at 1500 and 5000
Rush time: 33 seconds

Tileset: Desert
Size: 128 x 128
Positions: 3, 8, 11
- Reused the 'backdoor' concept from Medusa, but this time with 100% less worker bug issues.
- Island expos that can be made into non-island expos gives players more variety in choosing their strategies. For example, players can use similar strategies they used on Ultimatum, but tweak it slightly to suit the map (for players can opt to rush and break down the neutral buildings, making it non-island and vulnerable to harass).
- 3 gas expos that can be accessed on foot, and 3 by air (until you break down the neutral buildings). This forces players to make smart decisions on where to expand, which can lead to new strategies that can only be used on this map.
- All resources are default at 1500 and 5000
- One mineral patch in the main has only 500 minerals.
- There are 10 stacked temples at each place, totaling 15000 HP (1500 x 10).
Rush time: 30 seconds

Tileset: Desert
Size: 128 x 128
Positions: 2, 5, 8, 11
- Spawn positions matter heavily, as different spawn positions = need to go through different terrains
- Requires you to choose your strategy after you scout (or basically, scouting is pretty damn important here)
- Center expansions have mineral patches at 500 and geyser at 2000
Rush time: 30 seconds (horizontal and vertical), 38 seconds (diagonal)

Tileset: Space
Size: 128 x 96
Positions: 2, 5, 8, 11

- Due to the availability of 4 island expansions that are relatively safe, even if you don't hold the center, you are not in a disadvantage.
- Each place has different amount of resources. Main minerals patches are at 1500, natural at 1750, 3rd at 1250, and island at 1000.
- Only workers can cross the paths at the corner expansions using the mineral patches. Other units cannot walk there due to the gates.
- There are 24 stacked mineral patches at the entrance of corner expansions.
Rush time: 31 seconds (horizontal and vertical), 37 seconds (diagonal)
