To be honest I didnt really go crazy over any of those maps, basically voted for the 3 that I found the least imbalanced or that didnt have obviously abusable gameplay elements Agreed. Balanced gameplay was the only thing driving my decision, since many of the maps tried to be innovative but fail to allow standard play. *Sigh* *shakes head* Don't make me link to your masterpieces Raelcun  | ||

Things like this made me completely discredit a map. By the time I got down to the "playable" maps, the decision was easy. | ||

I think myself and some of the others were more worried about making something funny than to actually making something balanced Hey man, I'm all for innovation, but when my choke is a screen wide, chances are I won't be able to defend it! Things like this made me completely discredit a map. By the time I got down to the "playable" maps, the decision was easy. Well, at least I didn't submit my Happy map! + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=happytb0.jpg) click to enlarge | ||

I hope no one knows how null terrain works, just so they won't understand the picture of my map. | ||

Seems like it promotes going to the blocked off section of expansions turtling to tech, theres absolutely no incentive to go ground units early and trying to harass especially since ground units cant enter the null terrain. All the rest of the maps I can see being used in a tournament format even if they are a little imba but no offense this is still too unplayable in my opinion | ||

I think I'm going to add a short little mission briefing to the obs version explaining how null tiles work and affect the game. That should help if it's ever used in a tournament. | ||

Aren't more unique maps more imbalanced? I mean look at Fantasy for example. I'll qoute a friend of mine: Fantasy is so unique and imbalanced that it makes mirror MUs imbalanced. Edit: Some of the maps ARE interesting though. I really like Prophecy | ||
