A bit like Luna, the area of the natural reminds me of Python. The 3rd expos look like the 5 and 10 expo at Python, I'll dl this map later. I'm currently using the library pc for this one, haha.

There doesn't seem to be enough space for Terran to build in their main.

Luna's middle is smaller. But Luna you cannot build in the center at all whereas here u can. I personally believe that Python's center is bigger than this map's.

@ meegrean:

I've tested Terran's capability to have good building placement dont worry

Open the map up in the editor and check

It looks like a good map, though I think it would be more fair if the thirds up the ramps were min onlys, instead of a very easily taken third gas.

Also, it might be good to put a 8-mineral chunk in the center of the island min-only's, like Python.

Basically what he said AND :
Change the island to make them on the highest platform because the islands are already not taken with ease but if we have to get hit by almost everything ranged then it's just fucked up especially when there's no gas whatsoever. Seriously those islands are almost as useless as a lighter without a gas.

Uhh, can you move the gas at the third expansion to the island expansions instead? That would make getting a third gas challenging. Plus, Terrans will get inevitably raped against Zerg or Protoss with a third gas; the main doesn't look big enough for more than 5 factories when Dragoons are shooting kamehameha at your units (not that I have checked it in map editor, I haven't downloaded it yet, I'm at school). The 3rd expansions are also very vurnable to reaver drops cuz of the space behind the mineral line, which would make things exciting. The island expansions can get raped with cliffed units in the main or the 3rd expansion which is not fun if you're at the other end of the seige fire or goon shots. The natural choke seems easy to block or wall in, but I think that the 10/1 and 7/4 positions are vurnable to Zealot harass which can make walling hard. The natural seems easy to harass with mutas cuz it looks like that you can't put turrents behind the mineral line. I like the idea of the placement of the third expansion, cuz securing one can secure one of the island expansions. The space behind the mineral line of the natural can make checking on your opponent easier if he/she took an early expansion.

I just noticed the crack at the natural choke, I'm wondering if someone can place a floating building or an overlord there that can see the choke but not get shot by marines/hydras/goons? It somewhat reminded me of BlueStorm, the cracks on the tight space.

And yeah, can someone give me the link to where I can download the map editor that can open maps with the custom ramps? The one with the blue (not green) image when they get saved. I'm having a hard time adapting to maps cuz I don't know where to place my buildings.

umm u dont need a special editor to open up a map with inverteds. If u want to see neutral buildings sprites (any map with neutral buildings) then u need scmdraft or starforge

Oooh, ok then. but relocating a gas to the islands can make the map pro terran since tanks can do their practice targets.

All pro maps are protected now, so you can't open them in any editor.

I checked the map in the editor and there were 2 errors but I still managed to open the file.

The mains can accomodate more than 5 factories with little building placement management.

The nat choke at 1 can be blocked with a rax and 2 depos, but I think there can still be a better combination. I'll check the 3 others when I get home. I'm using the pc at our CAD class, haha.
