If you pick up the maps individually from the respective map threads, you'll end up with a bunch of more or less outdated versions... But the whole map pack as such is available on BWMN, too. But I'd recommend using the bayfiles download, it's free and doesn't require yo to rename the file before opening it. | ||

Played all of them a couple of times a while ago. Can list some quick thoughts on each of them if you like: Cross Game. Feels way too big. Some things that look like a choke are too wide, highground ridges are too big to take proper advantage of and the thing just feels superwide. When playing vs Z as T I never got near his base, just bouncing back and forth between thirds while the Zerg army kept moving around mine. Resonance. Also feels big and wide, but can't say much else. Hazard Black. Looks really good, lot of potential. The Hazard logo shows up bright orange on the minimap though, which is super annoying if you play vs a Red opponent (i.e. all those who play on shift-tab). Desertec. Really unsure how I feel about this. The Pylonpowercoverthing mechanic is cute to experiment with, but they're all over the place. Had some really weird games on that with TvZs ending up Firebat vs Hydra. And if you forget about the fields for a moment what you end up with is a pretty mediocre map in terms of looks and design. Really on the fence with this one Melting Pot Not sure yet. Love the looks and had some pretty fun games on it. I'm a bi worried about encountering an opponent that abuses the bridges though Gemlong Love it. And yeah if you want to make efforts towards running a tournament on these I'd love to help. Need a prizepool though since if the really top foreigners aren't practising/playing for it it isn't really worth it imo :/ | ||

I greatly appreciate your feedback, also the one you gave us on BWMN. The "conservative" version was added mostly due to that. Cross Game Can you be a bit more specific? Better yet could you send me a replay of the game(s) you describe (or upload it on BWMN). It's much easier to wrap one's head around those things when one is really seing them happening in-game. Resonance It's open, for a 2p map, but also very saturated with expos and mostly buildable... Hazard Use the "conservative" version then! Desertec What you describe was exactly my intention when designing that map: A very standard map with a huge focus on the experimental mechanic (and no other overly fancy features to distract from that). Not sure, how serious FBvsHydra is... But I'd really like a replay, if possible, just because it sounds hilarious... Melting I know about that concern and I'll be having a keen eye on it, but only games can tell for sure. Gemlong So seems to do every one  As for a tournament and prize pool. We may actually manage to get that going. I really appreciate your offer for help and I'll contact you as soon as I know more details. | ||

Thanks for the support. Just for the record: Which map versions are you going to use? | ||

Of course I am assuming that you are using the latest official versions, i.e. the ones in the map pack. What I meant was, are you planning to use the "conservative" or the "normal" versions (-> my opening post) I am just asking, because I'd like some feedback on which one of those players and tournament mods actually prefer. | ||

Also, consider editing the op so that you can see all 6 maps without opening any spoilers at the top of the post. Thankyou and congratulations to everyone who worked really hard to put this together. Ive been having fun hosting the observer versions. | ||
