This is my second SC2 to BW map port, the first one being Cloud Kingdom. Again, suggestions and (constructive) criticisms are appreciated.

Based on Bel'Shir Beach - Winter Version by LSPrime

Version 1.1

Previous versions:

Changes:
1.1
-Narrowed width of natural ramp (4 -> 3)
-Increased size of unpathable cliff ("overlord pod") between main and nat
-Reduced amount of snow in main/nat for less complaints about blinding glare in game

it's a very pretty map, not sure how balance will work out on it though.

it seems incredible easy for terran to get 3 gasses (tanks in main can defend 3rd gas near middle it looks like) and then go on a super short push to the other player's natural.

Much better than your cloud kingdom conversion. Make the nat tighter so you can forge FE.

One thing I think should be changed is the even paths. Not as Much of a problem in SC2 but with BW unit pathing, it's going to pain to manually direct armies down one path.

looks kind of like a 2p tau cross to me. 10/15 gate pvt is going to be funny with that giant wide ramp and rampless choke to main. zvt is difficult because the ovie spot in t's nat can't really cover the nat without getting killed by marines, but the corner 3rd gas seems easy enough to hold with lurkers. kind of curious how to secure a 4th gas on this map though, cause i don't think there's enough safe gasses for zerg on this map.

What do you recommend? The easiest solution would probably be just adding some cliff holes/unpathable ground in the main behind that base so that tanks can't defend it so easily.

Thanks, it's impossible to tell from the picture, but the very top area of the ramp at the nat is buildable. The wall doesn't have to be pushed back and to the sides of the ramp like it normally does, so less buildings are required to wall it. I'm pretty sure a forge FE would be viable, although the space left open might be a little bit wider than normal. Anyway, I'll have to test it a bit more.

For the same reason, the corner expos can be walled with only 2 pylons, I dont' know how balanced that is.

I'm not exactly sure what you're saying is the problem with the paths or what should be changed, other than that BW pathing is worse than SC2 lol.

Problem solved, had something to do with the map name (originally had an apostrophe, which the site removed) I think.

the 7 o clock main gas and the 1 o clock gas both needs to moved because the geysers are in such positions that deflect mining (which doesn't happen in sc2) other wise it pretty good map

That bottom/top third is the greatest thing ive ever seen in TvP, wall that sucker off with an ebay/rax and a depot or two, then just trololol all over protoss trying to funnel in the front way vs that choke + the high ground lead.

Would like to see it in a different tileset instead of Ice.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

^ its an interesting map in its layout. I think playing on it could be fun. At the same time, I dislike the ice tileset because its transition from white to brown/green is rather harsh and its snow texture is annoyingly bright while playing. To each his own.

Looks like a fun map, but

PvZ feels like Z can hydra bust because of the wide natural.
PvT feels like P has the upper hand, not sure why.
ZvT feels like it would be amazing to watch!

Actually seems like it would be a pretty good BW map. The biggest concern I have is that it's not possible to make a proper FFE wall.

I see you already addressed that earlier in the comments, but I have my doubts.

Anyway, I think it is P favored, but not enough for it to be a broken map. Good job.

Looks awesome.

This looks pretty good for TvP depending on the map size. I feel like I can get a 3rd and 4th base (as Terran) quite easily from the looks of it (which is good for balance I think). Will def try it out.

Um taking a third in tvp looks tough on this map. When taking a third you can be busted from two (four?) angles which are extremely open and cant really be walled with buildings until much later into the game. Late game if terran splits the map vertically (which really looks like the only way to do it), if terran does anything aggressive, toss can just charge his whole army into whatever area terran has the least defense and kill everything, and then easily retreat. It looks like a late game protoss army has a lot of targets for backstabing, and huge open areas to crush terran armies.

Pretty good map design, but the snow tileset in BW is so bright it hurts the eyes.

Just at a glance with the 2nd natural i would suggest for balance for ZVP just add 2-3 stacked reactors on the natural ramps that way the toss has an easier time to wall off, and then eventually it can be broken so that units can move out easier.

Just had a game on it ZvT (me Z) it was pretty fun. The snow tileset makes it really difficult to see my units on the minimap though lol.

http://www.panschk.de/mappage/repdetails.php?repid=3590

I really wanna play a TvP on it though just to see what its like lol.

How hard is it to swap to a desert tileset?

Version 1.1 is up now (image + download).

Changes:
-Narrowed natural ramp by 1 width (4 -> 3)
-Increased size of unpathable cliff ("overlord pod") between main and nat
-Reduced amount of snow in main/nat for less complaints about blinding glare in game

Hopefully the aesthetic changes are enough that I don't have to do a complete tileset switch.

Minor update, just added a few doodads and removed a couple badly placed doodads that I hadn't noticed. Didn't bother changing the version number.
