The Fortress ![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/issue/1274935586_1.jpg)
Type: Tactical Brawl Map
Players: 4 Players (3,6,9,12 o clock)
Size: 128 x 128
Tileset: Jungle World
Concept: A four player brawl map created only by grass and castle walls. It contains special island expansions where only workers can go through.
Traits:
- The main and the natural and everything else is simply grass surrounded by castle walls, so it gives the feeling of the map's title, "Fortress"
- At the map's diagonal extremes are four island expansions with a special door where only workers can go through by clicking on a mineral.
- The Island Expo will be very safe to take early so you'll relatively able to obtain advanced tech units more quickly and have faster games.
- The rush distance is relatively close, and since the Natural is a basin, you cannot slow the tension from the beginning. We expect fast games.
- The Island expansions have 1000 minerals, 1500 gas.
Rush Distance, from Main Bases: Vertical, Horizontal, 27 seconds, Diagonal 35 seconds.
Main: 9 Mineral, 1 Gas
Natural: 7 Mineral, 1 Gas
Middle Gas Expansion, 7 Mineral, 1 Gas
Island Expansion, 7 Mineral, 1 Gas.

What will they replace?
And I'm not sold on Fortress. But we'll see.

The Fortress
Design inspired by Google Chrome: with wings.
(or possibly a super pokeball)

fortress is like triatha-tau-longinu-guillotine
|
holly crap those are gigantic mains. and huge space behind nat minerals. expecting a lot of in base/in natural proxies.
and can someone lay out the differences between grandline 1.0 and 2.0?

|
so... how are you supposed to win at TvP on Fortress?
TvZ looks like it would be easier than Python, lol
|
i think fortress will favor 2 gates from toss quite a bit? it looks kinda like longinus only with a gigantic pokeball thing in the middle

Fortress looks really...simple. But good for protoss.
|
Fortress has no ramps, 4 island bases that don't even require a Shuttle to get to (island bases are much much better for P in PvT), a wide open center, and a wide open natural choke. All the ingredients for a PvT haven - this should be interesting.
|
Fortress looks like a Shuriken lol
|
I remember when maps were visually appealing.
|
fortress looks so fucking weird to try to play on lol. main's/nats are really close air distance so 2-hatch muta might be really really good on it, but i dont know if a terran will ever be sent out on it lol
and wow 9 and 3 o clock look 5x easier to defend vs muta harass than 12 and 6
|
Fortress doesn't look very good for TvP.

Why the minerals don't always either all face the wall or all not the face wall for every starting position on every map is beyond me.
Like, shouldn't it be a basic prerequisite for a new map? The difference in ZvT is ENORMOUS.
|
fortress looks pretty cool. those island expansions are a cool idea
|
Why is there so much empty space behind the naturals at 3 and 9 oclock positions?
|
Fortress reminds me of R-Point idk why
|
good to have alot of Ps in your fpl team then.. a the Terran advantage of the last maps is being put down in these new ones.
