It's nice reading about all the old school maps. I started watching starcraft in WCG Grand Finals 2007.

What do you think of Tears of the Moon? Seems like the freshest map I've seen since Plasma. Maybe fresher.

Haha, honestly?

Hmm, I honestly have to think about it. Though something that annoys me is that one of the longer ramps has two different orientation angels. Why not just average them out? That bothers me.

Beyond that, I really have to take a look at the map closer. But I'll be sure to post my thoughts on it in about...fourteen hours? I'm going to sleep right now.

Man, I specifically timed my post so no games would be played on Tears of the Moon (so I wouldn't have to deal with it).

But I guess it's still 2008. Whatever, I'll give my thoughts tomorrow.

You're wrong at begening on many things, and mixing alot periods and players and facts.

Gundam as a pro gamer, came far later than the first maps you talk about. He was from elky's time, while snowbound and ashrigo were maps that werent used that much anymore when i was pro gamer myself, wich was roughly more than a year before elky and gundam.

Also game wasn't "so new". BW was out since a long while and reaver drop is about the oldest thing you can dig up in starcraft strategy / bo wise.

Reaver drop goes as far back as vanilla pgl.

Article is great --

Just some facts wrong.

Thanks for the writeup empryean, that was epic, and very very good decriptions of the maps.

I've got a few new maps to download and try.

And I too really like Wuthering Heights. It was part of my first time hearing about new maps and anticipating their release. It looks great, the name is interesting, and I've had some fun games on it.

Read a lot of it. I lol'ed at the Nada vs Yooi comment, because I knew some kind of mention of it was coming when I was reading the Gamea Gowon series paragraph.

Just read through all of it; was really enlightening to me, as I'm a relatively new fan/player. It was awesome reading about the evolution of games/strategies, as well as seeing the changes in mapmaking philosophies and aesthetic values. Thanks again for the great read.
