it’s elevated starting locations are connected to the middle section via very narrow pathways. For Terran, only SCVs and bionics can march through; Protoss, Probes and Zealots; Zerg, Drone, Zergling and Hydralisks. Thus, it will turn into an island warfare during the mid- or late-games Am I the only person here who don't see anything like this on the map? Where exactly is the narrow pathways connected to the starting locations? I see absolutely no pathways connected to the starting locations. The starting locations have ramps. Your descriptions of the map doesn't seem to match with the actual map itself. This looks just like a land map with island expansions like LT. | ||

 Edit: Now that I look at it closely, there is some sort of brown doodad ( refer to above if it isn't called a doodad ) blocking half of the ramp. Or is it just me ? | ||

btw this map will make the life of pros so much harder because everything is changed on that map! it will be almost impossible to attack through those chokes for z (lings/hyds one by one) and for example pvt will always be started with an fe (although min only). i think it's more an island map than a land map but it offers the possibility to expand very fast while also having to defend the nat from the beginning on. very similar to the maps where your main was divided from the rest of the map by a mineral line btw. | ||

This looks just like a land map with island expansions like LT. yeah that confused me too untill i looked at the ramps. they are narrow, so only small units can go through. when reading the description, i thought of something like this: ![[image loading]](http://members.chello.at/jacen.at/test.scm.jpg) you think its worth actually building this kinda map?
