I'll be honest - I think this map is great as warmup training and just an allaround fun map, but I think this map is imbalanced for zvt (hard for the zerg, becuase it is so easy for the terran to take the middle with siege tank control and therefore prevent the Zerg from taking expos, and since there is only one gas node the Zerg can't do anything worthwhile.

Near the chokepoint of every base, there are 2-4 minerals (memory escapes me) - putting a geyser there may fix this problem (if the zerg opens with say, 12 pool 11 hatch and puts the hatch there at the choke (possibly just for optimal gas mining and choke protecting over getting the minerals).

Thoughts? Other imbalances that you feel are in BloodBath, post!

I feel you should add Terrain, more resources, more bridges/chokes, and increase the size to 128x128. You should also move the mains, add min only andt wo expos.


Oh wait that's lost temple.

take a look at the map again.......

near each of the 2 empty corners in each 'base' there are 3 minerals

..although i suppose you could stick some at the poor choke

can't you also hit the three mineral patches in the corner with siege tanks from an adjacent main?

memory might be failing me on that one..

Its extremely imbalanced in t's favor imo. If t is smart he will rax first and bunker so u can't do anything rushing. Then he'll bunker choke with rine support so u still can't do anything. Then he'll get tanks and push u to death. With such close positions the great turtle terran defence becomes a great defence and offence. Yes you can siege the mins, no adding a geyser won't help.

It's BB so I really don't see where siege tanks get's into it when it's TvZ...

Anyaway I zerg has a hard time on bb, you need pretty good ling controll and the only strat choice you seem to have is weather to go either 4 pool or 6 pool.

Terran I allways go 8 rax but I guess 6 rax could work? (Dunno, never tried and usually play 2on2 on that map.)

Toss allways 9 gate.

Siege tank only makes it onto the game if it's 2t vs 2p or it's a redicusly even game.
Unity, support, family, and kneecapping bitches.

heh, BB is indeed kinda inbalanced, and its sort of like this:
P > T (if P dual gates + cannon rush)
T > Z (if T rax early)
Z > P (if Z pool early)
