Have Map, Will Battle.

Map makers have been far more influential to our community than many give them credit for. This is a short dissertation o­n map makers, their influence, and a few of the reasons to push of map diversity in the Starcraft competitive community. In a parallel and graphic manner I will show case the work of many map makers showing us new Terrain concepts that could be used to enhance the beauty of current and future pro-maps.

Map makers have been far more influential to our community than many give them credit for. Not always to the favor of us melee players but regardless they have put their mark in our game in ways that affect all us. Think o­nly of BGH and fastest maps to understand this. They have also helped define pro-gaming with their balanced maps * and the concept of fair maps.

*http://www.gosugamers.net/nyheter.php?i=n&id=1198

They have also added endless new concepts to our game indirectly by forcing us to make best of many map specifics. They are also the o­nes who have pulled us away from the Hunter and then the Temple hegemony that was suffocating us.

I would publish the whole thing here but the editing of 11 sceenshots/pics is too much for me at present.

You can check the whole article at its source WGtour:

As always, your feed back will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure I'm into removing the gas from mains, but I certainly agree on using these decoration tricks. Someone should go tell Rose.of.Dream to collaborate with these guys at staredit.

The only real question is if these decorations are playable.

Those screenshots look awesome. They don't belong in melee maps, but they're still cool looking

You can see the waterfall on #14 is made on LT, with a castle in the center of the minimap rather than the temple itself.

I wonder if it's playable. That would be sweet.

why aren't these "terrainers" making melee maps for us to play on?

i think there might be a problem with sprite limits though, like if the map has too many sprites and you get into late game you are like wow this map is pretty but my valkyries aren't firing T.T omg hax

Because like much of our community, each to his own bubble, also because no one has aksed them to do so ~ I will continue with method to work in the unification of all Starcraft communities.

The real name is "Flooded Gate". The marine is actually on a non water ramp if you look closely.
