Changes:
Air distance between mains is now longer
Each main now has 9 mineral patches
The center expo is moved to the sides, to make battle for center more important
After the assimilators are destroyed, you can now rebuild them, and even mine gas from them (but depleted, so 2 per trip). If T rebuilds both, only marine-medic-firebat-scv-ghost can move through, and if Z rebuilds both, nothing can pass through still (except ghosts I imagine)
Coaches/players at the testing say the map seems to favor P, since P can strategically build/cancel assims.
One of Battle Royale 2, ‘중원’, ‘황혼의그림자’ (the other two maps at the round 4 map testing that didn't make it, I forget the english translations) will be used in round 5, (replacing Battle Royale )

Basically saying that among the three maps, Battle Royal 2, Central Plains and Shades of Twilight, only 1 will be used for Round 5 (replacing Battle Royal).
@GTR:
Nope, none yet

DAAAAAAAAMN RIGHT
Central plains looks so much more fun than Shades of Twilight, Shades of Twilight = another Byzantium

God's Garden is cool. I approve of their decision to replace just Battle Royal.

Yeah.. unless they replace it with Battle Royal 2 >___>

wtf, Central Plains? Wasn't that the map with the vastly different mains/positionally imbalanced? I hope that one doesn't get used.

BR2 (the movie) sucked though, I hope the map won't be as bad  .
I think using assimilators and geysers in the way this map does is a great idea, but because of the game system it's really hard to balance. Like: If you can't build on them it's a Z favored map... but if you can it's a P favored map. Is there no balanced way to have it done? I guess I'll wait and see how the new map is played out (if it's selected).
Hopefully SC2 will have a gazillion doodads and neutral stuff you can activate/deactivate. Although we won't be using them from the get go, it will provide lots of potential in the long run.

Uhm, sorry for the stupid question, but is there a difference in the space taken by the warping assimilator and by a assimlator that has warped?
