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.

The point of this contest, at least to me, was more to try out new things and make fun maps, and less to make maps that cater to standard play, although both have their merits, and a map that accomplished both would be fantastic. I mean, to each his own, but different/new doesn't necessarily mean worse, although it also doesn't necessarily mean better either. All imho, so don't yell at me or I will call you dirty names...unless you are chill, since you can ban me, in which case I will hold a grudge against you and wait until the right time and come after you with a butter knife.

Meeh.. there are too many standard maps around. I wanted to make something that would completely change gameplay and force players to be overly aggresive >D

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.

haha you're actually right. I think myself and some of the others were more worried about making something funny than to actually making something balanced

Well, at least I didn't submit my Happy map!

I declare my map balanced because the number of games that would be needed to find out which race is actually best on it, would be far more than I suspect anyone will ever bother to play.

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

thats the main reason I dont really like your map, that plus the stacked minerals, the wall of dts across the bridge doesn't help either. 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

Maybe you should watch the replays posted on the map's page, because you're frankly just wrong.

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.

Updated the obs version of my map to have a briefing. You might want to edit the map pack to include that (if it wins), since it's for the benefit of people who've never seen null terrain before in melee maps (just about everyone).

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
