I really like the layout of the thirds though, looks very interesting. Not impossible to take, but not too easy either... I'm absolutely swamped with work and school stuff, but I'll try to test this map out if I can find the time. It definitely deserves to be played  | ||

1. Terran will have a very hard time defending his "natural" 3rd. Because of the veeeeery long path between the natural and the 3rd. 2. I think Protoss will experience a lot of 4-5-6 fact pushes because of very short rush distance in close positions + the fact there is high ground relativly close to the natural (if terran is attacking clockwise that is). | ||

Version 1.0 Kyanite Prospect -Significant tweaks at the naturals -Full decoration polish There isn’t enough space in the middle for a neutral cc so I made a little island for one. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/UN6AEimh.jpg) But ofcourse, the island made one base vulnerable to tank drops so I blew it up with a volcano! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/k1QXZ4xh.jpg) | ||

@bITt.mAN Im glad you like it. I think I can give myself a bit more credit for the design. Before I made frontline, I shared these images on broodwarmaps.net: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/PM07r6Eh.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/t2kq1br.jpg) I also posted this excerpt "I was going to start making a 4 player rotational version of Switchblade on the Jungle tileset. Then I thought about this template you have made and thought I would play around first." The template refers to the second picture above which is NegativeZeros WIP map plus 4 hills thrown on by me. Its a just a sketch. I then went ahead and made Frontline, and on purpose made it different. But I always wanted to make this map that you now have. I just knew my skills werent good enough to do it justice. Frontline was my first rotational map. Just so you guys know, you cant just rejiggle things and release a new map. Kyanite Prospect represents 75 hours of work and was made from scratch. The decoration polish takes 20 hours on its own. I know it seems a bit selfish and attention whoring, but this map took a really long time to make. A lot of love and experience is poured into it and so I want to make sure eryone in the broodwar community has atleast seen it once! But more than that, I actually just really like it. Even if I hadnt made it, I would love to see it used in SSL9 or whatever. Obviously there is always bias but, I imagine that Im looking at the map for the first time, and it had been made by CyGnus or the next man, and I still think to myself that it would cool to see Killer fight Hiya on this map! Following on, I will be posting this map on Sonics facebook page in a short while. Its all I can think of to let those guys know about it. If any Korean speakers and people with contacts to Sonic want to help this map get seen by them then that would be good in my opinion. Im just a fan of Broodwar at the end of the day. + Show Spoiler + But anyway, regarding the neutral CC, its 3 for and 3 against so my vote will count and its a negatron. Soz. @arb which maps do you like out of curiousity? @ All you lurkers out there; Do take the time to post. If you like it, if you dont like it, I dont mind, its the silence that I dont like cus how can I know what to do next if I dont get feedback. | ||

I think posting him the iccup competition thread would be a lot more useful and it would give him a lot of maps to draw form for future seasons | ||
