no, we don't. Ash is like the worst tileset ever next to installation. Hard to see ramps, inflexible, not a lot of options for the mapmakers, etc.
Uhh variation> flexibility. No more twilight, or jungle please. Badlands is a great tileset, installation is fairly decent, desert is pretty poor but still acceptable.

Old rehashed concepts in every new map, boring (not to mention they're also BAD )


Yea, but then look at the Bacchus OSL, the worst OSL to ever grace SC. Personal and Sherwood Forest, when a brand new macro map produces OSLs like the most recent one, which was very exciting.

Requiem, Xeno Sky, Chariots of fire...

plus korean mapmakers can do so much crazy stuff.

Notice how none of those maps have any reverse ramps on them

i wonder whats the point of having that random wall and khaydarin crystal formation crap near the nat lol - _-a

I'm thinking it can't be extremely important but it looks like it could be destroyed and have vults/HT/lurk run through the smaller side to harass nat workers. Although it looks like the space for units to fit though is bigger at 2 o clock and 8 o clock crystals then 11 o clock and 5 o clock
EDIT: and no DamageControl, other people have mentioned the reverse LT thing already

it's not destroyable. it's to fix the gap that's caused by the higher terrain on the high terrain, the higher terrain being there for an overlord spot for zerg players

installation isn't even buildable. Desert is good, badlands isn't bad at all, i agree that those two are underused. I personally prefer Space and Jungle by far. But ash is incredibly bad.

No, Ash IMO is really ugly. Same with Badlands. Desert is fine, space is eh, and Twilight looks nice but is overused.

Where's Snow/Ice? I'd like to see a new one soon.

Just quoting what I wrote in the news article:

Byzantium reminds me of a really old map where I think GARIMTO played ElkY or something. Started out with proxy reaver behind the terrans base and then moved onto a late game where lots of archons were used. This has to be 2002 or before... does anyone remember the game or the map im talking about?
