Post here to spark more interest!
We could totally get Wind and Cloud and Pamir Plateau into the pool.

ya they look pretty good
Well go post in the iccup thread then so the admins can act on it and add it to the pool.

Does anybody know when the voting for next weeks MOTW starts? I'm really hoping these new maps get included

I like Steel wall, especially the middle wall with the double expos to avoid pure split map play, it's an interesting concept.
The huge mains and overly long main to nat distances are a bit weird though, I guess it's intended to facilitate any kind of aggressive air & drop play, so it probably goes along all right with the rest of the map.
I don't like Battle of Salsu. It may work out all right as an island map, but it just looks totally awkward to play on if both players spawn on the same side.
Wind and Cloud is also nice.
I am pretty sure that Pamir Plateau turns out terribly imba, contains on those ramps are just way too strong, and terran can even build mass turrets to shut down drop breaks...
Another kind of interesting fact: 0 mineral-only expansions between 4 maps...

Well all the maps were in beta when these details were posted, I'm sure they've changed a lot since  Wind and Cloud is confirmed to be used for SSL Ro8, so we'll get to see it in action then.

I actually want to see more of 3 players map introduced. TOO many 4Ps
|
If the zerg went 3 hatch muta on 3 base with the 2 gas base how many more mutalisks would the zerg be able to produce and would this play be viable if not, why?
|
He'd probably need a 4th hatch to keep up with production...
But he'd also have a hell of time dealing with zergling raids and muta harrass split between there and the main/nat.

... I was talking about getting them out earlier due to access gas

if you want to get them out earlier just go 2hatch muta
third gas is only for continued/increased muta production, doesn't do anything to get them out faster because of the need for minerals

Any idea when Steel Wall and Battle of Salsu start getting used?
I know that Pamir Plateau will start getting used in the Ro8 of the Itembay SSL, no idea about the other to anybody else?
|
oh, so that's where Wind and Cloud came from

Steel wall yes, but if you changed Salsu youd have to change the entire map more or less, island maps have never been balanced
|
I can recreate the maps if people want it and appreciate it...as well as make balance fixes...although honestly these maps aren't that great just cuz they're made by Rose.of.Dream doesn't make them instagosu...it'll have to wait till mid-May tho cuz of testing...

new versions of New Wind and Cloud (2.2) and Pamir Plateau (1.2)
w/ Pamir the gas at 1 was fixed (I guess there was some pathing issue or of the sort), not sure if there were any other changes. W&C, not sure if there's any changes at all but he linked it and it's titled differently than from before, so better to play it safe lol.
