Before you go to a third page debating the balance issues the "zerg eggs" create, can we first confirm that they are eggs and not chrysalis? If it's eggs, it's basically an island map. If not, it's like any other map with temporary doodad barriers.
They are eggs, not chrysalis.

They are 100% zerg eggs, just played it. rows of 5
|
But you can beat zerg eggs, they just take forever. Plasma is going to get thumbs down'd most of the time, I bet people feel uncomfortable playing on it.
ROTK seems so T>P. It's like they're really looking for the return of a a terran king.

They can be Z eggs without having 10 armor. Do they have 10 armor?
|
hahaha
I will be so surprised if return of the king isnt heavily terran favored, It has the center cliff of wuthering, but a lot less space to go around, no terrain for carrier abuse
wow

na they dont take forever. they have a lot of armor but not a lot of PV, lurkers kill them easily

Woo a badlands map! Awesome!
But i hope plasma turns out ok balance wise, because it looks interesting.

hmm can't zerg use overlord to spot mineral and then use drones to hop over zerg egg and then plant expansion?
If that's the only way for T/P to get a scout in at first, couldn't you also mine the 32 mins from the patch on your side of the eggs to deny scouting vs T and P until scan or sair respectively?
|
there are mins visible across every egg patch
pretty sure every race will have enough vision to drill through all the sections of eggs

I've got to say these maps look really good 
Plasma looks the more interesting one though I think, reminds me of Rush Hour 3
|
Edit: oops missed thread
Apparently Andromeda is one of the maps they're keeping, too.
Plasma looks like it will have some interesting games; you could proxy in a lot of places though the scouting distances are pretty short. Don't know about ROTK though, hope it plays out ok.
|
Lurks chew through the eggs with splash, i just tried it.
I don't know about tanks or protoss units though.
|
Broodling, irradiate and storm all work on eggs, right?
|
Both maps look insanely fun. By switching the minerals to the side wall rather than against the back natural I think it will somewhat eliminate the muta/worker problem that was on Namja.
I guess opening reaver will be common on Plasma due to splash and being able to hit multiple targets by targeting a middle egg.
I think both maps will be good for the OSL. Just hope they aren't terribly imbalanced.
|
It's a glorious day guys.. the koreans copied a foreign map and called it ROTK's. hahaha, its gonna suck balls.
|
uhh... egg map seems terran imba... tanks are really good at killing eggs, where as toss would have to go out of the way to get reavers and for zerg lurkers.
|
Nah, an archon would destroy them quite easily.
ROTK looks rly cool though, the island expansion might be slightly imbalanced toward P, since toss always gets shuttles eventually, regardless of the matchup.
|
Both of these look very, very interesting, I can't way to see them in action. Plasma I have some.. qualms about I guess looking at the tiny tiny ramps and the small mains. Should be interesting to see how play unfolds though and what egg-killing strategies people come up with. ROTK looks pretty interesting too, no resources in the center and so many cliffs/valleys.
|
dark templars can kill eggs in only a few hits, so I guess we can expect some dt rushes?
edit: just tried it and it takes 7 dt hits ^^ so I guess maybe not, about dt rushes
