+ Show Spoiler [Polaris Rhapsody] + ![[image loading]](/staff/konadora/Official_Maps/1268495551_1.jpg) This one reminds of Asgard a bit. Asgard itself had a good concept but the execution was a bit botched. It looks like the mapmakers understood that, took the map and polished it a bit, but it the result doesn't seem very balanced. At first glance it seems like tanks would be imba, however, the multitude of different paths and expansion spots available, mean that terran will have a hard time turtling up, besides in the 3 initial bases, but one of those doesn't have gas. Couple that with a relatively resource rich map and terran potentially can have problems with refugee toss, or have it play out a bit like Sin Chupung-Ryeong where the protoss just runs circles around you. PvZ will be plagued with similar problems, this time however for the protoss. Bio play in TvZ however, should provide with some great games, as it is a very mobile match-up, and this map seems to accomodate mobile army playstyles a lot. Moreover, the large mains and variety of angles to sneak drops in will be a pain in the ass, for both races, as we know that cracklings are very good at vacating space in the blink of an eye. While the map looks promising, it needs just a tad more work to make it... more balanced I guess. + Show Spoiler [Fortress] + ![[image loading]](/staff/konadora/Official_Maps/1268495724_1.jpg) The gate mechanic looks very promising and will make this map a hell to make sense of. The only semi-sure thing is that terran can't turtle very effectively due to the huge perimeter of his main/nat. That fact and the "islands" almost insure some sort of early aggression against protoss. Either that or incorporating mad dropship play to keep him busy. Likewise, mech won't be very good agaisnt zerg, but anything else should be workable, which will probably mean a slew of sair/reaver openings vs zerg, lots of dropships, battlecruisers in TvT, etc. Oh, by the way, looks like i you place tanks on the little high ground pods at 3/6/9 o'clock you can reach one of the gasses, while it seems that this isn't the case for 12. I'd very much like to see these maps touched up a bit and into proleague circulation. | ||
