You killed this map when you made the mineral only the natural, imo.

Chill, could you elaborate, why do you think that killed the map? How would you change it to make it better ?

Entrances between the expos aren't that far so I guess the player can choose.

Looks like you tried to incorporate Python, Othello and Arcadia into one big map... XD I would suggest that after so many revisions of the map, you scratch this and begin on a new map. Now that you have experience in creating a map, begin making your own concepts instead of borrowing from others

Hats to making maps, keep it up! It looks like you spent a lot of time on it, continue with your effort and you'll be a great mapper in no time

Superiorwolf, i went in to make a good balanced "standard" map.. Next map i will try some new stuff, but it is pretty hard not to accidentally "copy" other map designs, because there are so many maps already. Btw, good luck on TLA-JF tonight, i trust youre gonna be there to try and get to play ??

Also, i had never seen arcadia before i made this map, i was later told the layout was similar..

You killed choice. You have your natural, are you going to build up or risk an expansion? Well of course you're going to expand because there's zero risk involved. You already control your natural and have all your defenses consolidated there, so you essentially get a free base.

I could be wrong since there's been several maps with this principle (Andromeda to some extent, Azalea, Arcadia II) but that's how I feel.

Actually, I think it'd be ok in this case, as both expo's share that common choke. So a zerg could just 2nd hatch at min only, 3rd hatch at gas expo, for example. Second gas isn't needed that early anyway.


But man, that rush distance between 11/7 and 2/5 is like scary short haha.

djdolber it sounds great It's always nice to have more people getting into mapmaking. And no, I can't do TLA because I've been in China and I'm still here for 7 days or so. Although I probably wouldn't get to play anyways since I've played twice already, I'd have to smurf Eh jk lol

the third expansion is a bit too well defended, you could open it up a little by removing the hills in red lines I've placed.
And you could add some hills where there is green.
You should also remove 1 of the extractors in the side hills, since such easy to defend positions would become sure choice for 4th expansion. - In Blue color

SlickR12345, what you have drawn is basicly backwards evolution from the last version to this verison.. lol

If i would open up between the red and the ramps maybe that could be interesting.. the red is a good oviespot id rather keep it...
SCV good to go sir!
