1. OFFENSIVE ALLCAPS MAP+ Show Spoiler + GOOD NIGHT Just the most finished, most standard, most polished one right now. 2. Vertebrae Need to give these new map makers a chance. 3. Turbine Not as standard, but still one of the most polished ones right now 4. Terraform If this were more finished and polished I would rate it even higher. | ||

Even if I left it as the current version and ironed out the kinks, I'm not sure players would actually want to play on it, so what would be the point? This is mainly my fault for not putting nearly as much work into it before it even made it into the voting stage. So if you want to raise the pitchforks at me it'd be pretty justified, especially since I kinda cost a different map from making top 12. Anyway, hope you understand and feel free to change your votes if you voted for static. | ||

Obviously this can also be a personal decision which is totally fine, however it seems rather tactless overall as stated in the original post. | ||

The mid-game favors aggression on this map and that will result in some very exciting games (probably shorter in length than something like Eclipse, but that's ok). 2) GOOD NIGHT 1.2 - This map screams macro games and in my opinion it has the fixes for the flaws of Fighting Spirit and Circuit Breaker (think of PvT on those maps). It favors creative attacks (since you can't defend everything especially towards the mid to late game. 3) Turbine - This map will most probably play out like a mix of Transistor and Blockchain. That's quite exciting to think about. 4) Tundra - Again the play-ability of this map, especially with the latest changes is very intriguing. It does have its flaws but it has enormous potential for some incredible late-game macro play. Definitely worth that wildcard. Considering the latest withdrawal of Static from the contest but also after watching some of the games on these maps I've decided to adjust my top 4 accordingly. 1.Sanctuary - After more consideration and analysis it seems pretty obvious that this is the best map in the pool, even though I initially didn't like it as much and considered it just another FS clone. 2.Bridging The Gap - I still have trouble admitting that having 9 bridges funneling towards the center of the map is a good idea but even if that won't be reduced to something like 6, I still think this plays well and 'standard'. 3.Turbine - the unconventional map that will lead in some more left-field strategies. It's playable it seems which I was happy to see. 4. Wavelet - not perfect, not necessary a 'better CB' but pretty cool overall and it looked fine in the play-testing. Notes on the maps that have fell through: Tundra : unplayable against Terran both from Z and P perspective, especially in horizontal spawns. T literally has 10 2-base all-ins that it seems will work every time unless the player really hates building turrets or a bunker. GOODNIGHT - good night for you I suppose. The base layout deserves a second chance but this map as is is way too imbalanced in favor of Terran. Too easy to just spam turrets and backlines of tanks that will be virtually impenetrable. Once Terran stabilizes on 4-base it's gg. | ||

it's in a bit of a rougher state than what you can tell from the overview. If I'm going to rework it anyway I might as well pull it out. Especially when it's hard to tell what people like about the map if you drastically change things from what people had voted for even while trying to keep it recognizable, but if you also want my personal opinion: even if I clean up what I have in the current state and don't change anything drastically there are more deserving maps of the top 4 that players would likely want to play on more in whatever showmatches oxtq will probably setup and will probably make for better games. | ||

That's much better. But you also have to modify the main bases so that they have far less vision of the nat area. I think a whole triangle of the top right of the main has to be replaced with a blocker. (top right as you go from the main outward for each base) | ||

Update since the recent show matches have happened. Sanctuary 0.98 -> 0.99 Updates: Naturals are a bit bigger. 'Outer' bridges are a little wider for better unit flow. Some simcity adjustments ![[image loading]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/815864488825716766/844821202556289054/Untitled_design_7.png) Size demonstration: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/815864488825716766/844821243168423986/Untitled_design_12.png) | ||
