Racial imbalances would not be that much of an issue as the vast majority of players won't have played the maps at all or like 10 years ago, so those who prepare the map more, should win. If people are too lazy to use 10min to check how to wall on the map, they deserve to lose. You might have to change some mineral/gas formation to mitigate possible positional imbalances, so it takes some time and effort to implement a good non-standard map. | ||

PA is ugly, you can play maps like eon suggested that were at least in STL/SBWI leagues. Why should everyone else get stuck watching FS style maps 24/7 rather than actually having an interesting map pool? The fact the players won't bother preparing for the maps shouldn't be the problem of the viewers. If anything preparing for specific maps will be beneficial in that case since the person who prepares map specific plays will probably win the tournament and rightfully so. I'm not sure going with a full map pool from the OP would be the best choice either, but there's no reason to not put old SPL maps in like Empire of the Sun, Grand Line SE, Neo Aztec, Benzene etc. etc. | ||

According to the poll here, majority seems to dislike Paranoid Android (even though it's only slightly ^^). For the next tour we replaced Paranoid Android with Destination. | ||

Personally, aside from the positional imbalance, I liked PA as choice although I wasn't able to participate this week.

So basically you want more maps without an easily defended nat? | ||

So basically you want more maps without an easily defended nat? That would be the most obvious possibility. I don't see a point in using yet another "clone" of Fighting Spirit. Those will just lead to the same macro games as on Fighting Spirit and make preparation unnecessary. If organizers want that it is easier to just use one of the later kespa maps as they basically cover all the possible 3rd/4th base variants. | ||

What about these (not necessarily as the maps as a whole, but as principle concepts): ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/maps/6_Sin%20Peaks%20of%20Baekdu.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/maps/160_Baekmagoji.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/maps/18_Sin%20815.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/maps/189_Chupung-Ryeong.jpg) | ||

Though having a new take at (modern, better balanced!) island maps is something I am actually in favour of (and have actually worked on quite a bit over the last year or so...) I am personally rather curious about that. Hearing/ seeing the old school games before I started watching in earnest, I was always fascinated by the idea of island maps. BW gave up on island maps and SC2 never tried, but it would be neat if there was a balanced way to get them working again. | ||

What about these (not necessarily as the maps as a whole, but as principle concepts): Sure, why not. I would maybe try to avoid using small chokes like in Peaks of Baekdu where units get stuck often. On 815 that is not much of a problem, as they are not in the middle of the map. | ||

I never thought that those small chockes were a problem on peaks of baekdu or blue storm as long as the player knows they're there. You shouldn't be moving your army with one attack move across the map anyways. Those chockes can create some very interesting strategy choises or scenes like ling backstabs vs fat ass units that has to take the longer route back to defend. | ||
