Hey everyone,

I’m Testbug, a map creator from Peru. I’ve been making maps for a few years now, supporting tournaments like BSL and Latin American Cup. Today, I’m here to share my latest project with you and get your thoughts on a suitable name for it!

Initially, I wanted to call it "Nocturne of Shadow," inspired by the song from Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but I found it a bit too lengthy. So, it's time to choose a new name!

Here’s what the map looks like:
[image loading]

After some thought, I’ve narrowed the potential names down to three choices:

(4)The Ring
This name stems from the central ring-like structure on the map. It became a strategic point during test games, where players tended to maneuver around this ring rather than through the center, using the ring to approach the Basilica for its terrain advantage.

(4)Nocturne
Shortening the original thought, "Nocturne" captures the twilight and mysterious atmosphere of the map. The term also refers to musical compositions that evoke the serene beauty of the night, mirroring the strategic depth and ambiance of this map.

(4)Mandala
After attaching a photo of the map to ChatGPT4, the AI pointed out that the design resembled a mandala. It suggested the name 'Mandala,' emphasizing that it's surprising no maps have been named such despite the design's strong symbolic suitability for strategic gameplay.

Poll: Which name suits my new map best?

You must be logged in to vote in this poll.

☐ (4)The Ring - Central strategy point, ring-like structure
☐ (4)Nocturne - Inspired by Zelda, evokes twilight mystery
☐ (4)Mandala - Symmetrical design, unique name



Please help me choose by voting for your favorite: (4)The Ring, (4)Nocturne, or (4)Mandala. Your feedback is very valuable and will help finalize the name that best suits this map.

Thanks for your involvement and for helping make this community a fantastic place for players and mappers alike.

You can download the map file at the following link: http://www.panschk.de/mappage/comments.php?mapid=5608

Cheers,
Testbug

That’s a great name too! However, the mapper Suricatta has already used that name for one of his maps. You download his map here: http://www.panschk.de/mappage/comments.php?mapid=5446

another name can be:

1820 hz

because it reminded me of what happening with sand in that frequency

Reminds me a bit of spellbinding circle: [image loading]

So Spellbinder could be a potential name for it.

Ah yes, I definitely need to make a map with that pattern (and name)!! but I think Sand Terrain would suit it best! (just as Poly_Optimize suggested!)
