Thx for your comment artoflukas. I didn't think about it that much when I made the map, but I know that Terran has it very easy to defend at Sóora Kingdom. The fights will be fought early on around the bridges and in the middle; the one who can manage his own bridge and control the other will have a big advantage. PvsP I believe could be very fun. It will be a micro fight on the bridges, something like that hasn’t been done before. I've played a couple of PvsZ and found out that Fast expansion works wonders, you're able to do a Guillotine choke build and exp afterwards, either on you mineral only or your gas expansion. Zealots on the bridge protects well against zerglings and Reaver/Goon is very good against early lurks. If your able to contain Zergs bridge with Reavers, then you've won a great deal. I'm thinking about removing the bridges, and put wider normal ground. As LaZyScV said, in PvsT no ground based attacks works. You're able to easy defend against vulture harass but will need to find alternate ways of attacking Terran. You'll need to take Terran out before he reaches your bridge. I would really like to see some PvsT games be played in this map, but thats jus.... | ||

But going by ground would be, at least most of the time, a really bad idea.  That's exactly what I thought. Peatza, don't change it, the bridge makes it original | ||

Although, I'd give extra EXTRA kudos to someone that manages to make a good 3 player map like Alchemist/R-Point | ||

How many maps do we have so far? And Boongee have you thought about posting news about this Custom Map tournament at Wgtour, or ask an admin over at GG.net? thx for supporting my map... boongee, ToKoreaWithLove, enkera~ I wouldn't go that far and say that Terran gets 3 free bases... All races can protect their expansions pretty well; the game will end either by drop or a big fight in the middle of the map. I can't say for sure but why would it be impossible for Protoss to halt Terran taking the mineral only? - Starparty and I have created a 3 Player map together, I don't know if it's that good since it's our first one but maybe we could submit it together. | ||

The thing about this map is that its original concept will actually form its own metagame: at first maybe people will play it like a normal map, until Protoss realized that's impossible vs Terran...and they will start to go fast drops with reavers or DTs... and then Terran will learn to counter that with 2 fact vults and early turrets...and then Protoss will counter that...etc. Or maybe I'm just crazy. | ||

We have eight maps so far: Nightlight Frozen Hills The Butterfly Lovers Sóora Kingdom Serpent Dream "regnum_noctis.rar" (I'm not sure what this is supposed to be named, but I'm assuming it's something in German... correct me if I am mistaken) Cohesion Hunter's Moon I haven't even thought about posting it on other sites. I can get it on GG.net because an admin is in my clan. I have never posted anything on WGT but I'll look into it (unless someone wants to do it for me  ). | ||

You could say that kind of "back and forth" thing about any map, but the truth is that terran can play this map normally, but toss has to play it like an island map. There is no way that anyone could make it over the bridge versus terran. edit: it looks very pretty, though | ||
