Contact map creator instead. I created this thread actually to figure out how to contact the map creator. If someone can report it or let me know who it is we can delete this thread. [EDIT] I just realized how unreasonably aggressive your reply was. I'm not whining about Zerg balance. Just noting something unusual. Plus, it's not like we're overflowing with Brood War threads. At least this one is relevant and interesting as it involves some map making tricks. | ||

I find it done very badly on this map. It's much more elegant to do this by editing some tiles around some edges or hide them under Geysers. That being said, this method works not due to unbuildability but because of (partial) unwalkability (or terrain level…) of those tiles. So you can just wall tight against those tiles with a Pool (or other building) as you would have otherwise done against the mineral lines directly – which you would have known, of course, if you had just tested it before you started this thread. Not sure if I follow what you mean? You can't build anything to the right of the top mineral patch if you're Zerg because there is no creep. I'm sure your theory is correct about what people are trying to do, but I was in an actual game where I wanted to build the pool there and couldn't. Here's a test in single player mode: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/k9Lz09I.jpg) | ||

It was made for better mining from top and bottom mineral patches. And it's not only on bottom left spawn. I see. However, I think it's the first time creep actually wasn't able to form? I think you can build as Zerg anywhere in the base on WhiteOut. | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/puEEpKk.jpg) unbuildable terrain, not simply unwalkable ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/Rk844pY.jpg) like wise for bottom right. | ||

Positional balance wise not as big a deal as bottom left as you can still build a Pool right above and block the path to your mineral line. Actually looking at bottom left, it seems like the one tile above the hotfix terrain is actually buildable, but Zerg cannot because creep fails to spread there and thus makes two tiles unbuildable. | ||

Creep gets created fine there though and you can also build there. That's because this is a bullshit claim, CB has nothing of that kind. It was made in era before balancing via pathfinding manipulation was even a thing. On February 24 2020 13:55 StRyKeR wrote: I see.

Top right and top left mains on Whiteout also have unwalkable tiles (parts of tree doodads) next to the topmost mineral patches. On February 24 2020 14:12 konadora wrote: + Show Spoiler [show image] + unbuildable terrain, not simply unwalkable Unwalkable automatically implies unbuildable, even if the unbuildable flag is not set, with the caveat that if it's unwlkable but not unbuildable it will not block creep spread, as can be seen, incidently, on your following example of Escalade bottom right main: The latter effect is nice for natural choke designs where you want Zerg to be able to wall against bottom edges without a gap.

Clearly the person asking isn't familiar with the ins and outs of map making. Ins and outs of map making? This comes down to understanding what pathable terrain is. | ||
