At least our school history how nazis positioned swastika was important as Finland had same kind of swastika for air force but different position (same position as lower picture shows). I know this was a bit off topic but yeh. + Show Spoiler [Showing difference between nazi swasti…] + yeah. Swastika is like an ancient symbol of sun, or light, If I remember correctly. So dont be paranoic.. not every swastika = nazi -.- | ||

Neo just means 'new' and I believe they attach those onto the maps if there have been major changes that could change the flow of the game on that map. Changes like a slight geyser movement will not change the flow of the game as opposed to moving an entire expansion. So they attach 'neo' on the front because in a way, it is a new map but it's not different enough that an entirely different name is required. | ||

Neo Chain Reaction 2.0: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Xuyx7.jpg) + Show Spoiler [Before] + Changing its name from ‘Chain Reaction’ to ‘Neo Chain Reaction’, the natural base 8 patches has been reduced to 7 and the space in the front has been increased to have more space for sim city. Also that small hill high ground behind the natural has been cleared so it is easier to land units, also the center bridges of the map have been changed to be the same width for better unit movement. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/PPefS.jpg) Neo Outlier 2.1: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/S6NKY.jpg) + Show Spoiler [Before] + ‘Neo Outlier’ for the 12 o clock spawn position, changed the mineral patches so it is possible to manner pylon and also removed the 500 mineral patch in the main bases. To compensate the natural mineral patches have been increased by one and the 3rd bases near the center have been placed closer to each natural. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/j97Ep.jpg) Neo Electric Circuit 2.1: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/O1kO1.jpg) + Show Spoiler [Before] + In the case of ‘Neo Electric Circuit’, the behind natural’s area another 1500 mineral patch has been added and changed the terrain at the 5 o clock natural entrance so it is easier for Protoss to sim city. Also the center area’s terrain obstacles have been reduced. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FvcJt.jpg) Jade 1.1: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/eJe0P.jpg) + Show Spoiler [Before] + For ‘Jade’ the 5 o clock natural’s area, fixed the long roundabout gathering pathing, and also changing the 7 o clock’s 3rd gas expansion to gather gas properly. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wa297.jpg) Sniper Ridge 1.1: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/OFcpW.jpg) + Show Spoiler [Before] + On ‘Sniper Ridge’ also changed for better gathering pathing. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Pz9cK.jpg) | ||

Also, doesn't terran benefit from buildable terrain underneath the natural?

I just want to see JUST ONCE a progamer actually mine out the minerals to get to those high ground pods in the center of the map lol so true... | ||
