New Worlds Map Contest 2: All Submissions (VOTE) - Page 5

(2)Access Control - I especially like the cute ramps you squeezed in for scouts and early shenanigans. Also the thirds are cool, but the top part is a bit sadistic :D

(2)Anthropocene - Good job on the layout of the map! I think it is a little too tight and the neutrals are overdone.

(2)Baroque - The idea on the in- and outside center expos is a nice twist. This map will be awesome for mirror matchups, but I'm unsure whether you didn't sacrifice too much playability for the cool looks.

(2)Blackshot - The way the center is split in two should makes for interesting map control fights, I like that. The map looks a tad sleek (make of that what you will) and the corner expansions have very narrow entrances which makes them too easy to hold.

(2)Blood of the Scribe - Wouldn't be surprised to see this in an art contest. I honestly don't know what to say to this. It look so much fun to play!


(2)Callisto - This is such an out-of-the-book map. It is well saturated and seems very strategic. The downside is that it isn't very exciting (which is hard to do with the space tile set)

(2)Disco Pang! Pang! - Disco! Clap! Clap! This one is intriguing. I wonder if players will actually make use of the backdoors. Well done

(2)Europa - Every platform is well spaced, there is really nothing that should be changed.

(2)Frostmourne - Very cool looking, let the turtling ensue.

(2)Galactic Empire - The paths to the right and left are so sneaky. Subtle but dangerous. The asymmetry of the top and north regions might be a small problem

(2)Gale - A solid map. 나는 별로 창의적이지 않다

(2)Gambit - The super open corner expansions are cool, as well as the streamlined pathing. Matchups should be wild..

(2)Laputa - Please be careful when talking about this map in spain. Otherwise: well done!

(2)Lightning Whirlwind - You've put nice textures on this!

(2)Molecule - This is like the handsome little brother of blue storm (:D). Other that for pushes and scouting there is no real use for the very sexy center. Also had to chuckle about the visual aids for toss on the nat.

(2)Neptune - A nice take at spiraling! Big fan of splitting ramps into two directions (top & bottom). The neutrals are .. well just imagine toss mindcontrolling those

(2)Pella - Island expos! Yes! I'd argue that the middle set of temples is a bit too much. The east and west expos are well done conceptually! Would love to see some more decoration.

(2)Plan_B - I like that you took the time to tighten the top left ramp, but why is the bottom right ramp so much bigger? Also the disruptors give the game momentum. Good job!

(2)Ragefire Chasm - TWNZombie, you tiled the top rows to counterbalance the user interface blocking the bottom player? So thoughtful! I like that map and will likely play it some time, thanks!

(2)Red Eagle - This presents a variety of angles from which to attack your opponent beyond the natural. Cool!

(2)Reflections - These 3rds are so juicy even Artosis couldn't resist getting them. The way you intertwined the terrains in the main bases is chique. The flat center expos are pretty hot too.

(2)Sandslash - The map itself is weird and that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. I would love to see a more fleshed out version of Sandslash 0.10!

(2)Scarabee - The only scarabs one would ever want in their main base. Nice semi-bridges and middle decoration!

(2)Silent Storm - A aesthetically pleasing desert map. The curved paths (east and west) might be too dangerous to be used to attack since you're so cut off from the rest of the map.

(2)Steel Dominion - It is so open it's scary. Then again the main to main seems so short. It screams action.

(2)Super Nova - The transients between natural and the rest of the map are well constructed. Nice macro map!

(2)Typhon - Nice visuals on this map. The main has a funny lalyout and also there are island expos (<3). Very nice but probably problematic in competitive play due to Zerg(?)

(2)Winter Solstice - Beautiful north and south. Many buildings behind the main mineral line can be shot with tanks from the third. Tough spot to be in as defender

(2)Защитная Технология - The drop Технология on this map is cool, rarely ever done on maps. Good job. The fields though.. I'd prefer any cluster of doodads over that :D you came in very strong in this contest!

(3)Cataclysm - The middle expos are nice and so are the islands. The reduced gas amounts add to the scenario, maybe the islands could be even richer?

(3)Dark Vengeance - The second entry that uses controllable neutrals! For a 3 player map I think this is very suited and should create interesting situations between the three parties. Good job!

(3)Elquiness - That top left island lmao! Such a tease - I was able to drop two workers. Intended or not? Who knows. Love it.

(3)Lambda - Top left island not buildable for trolling, but hey - a pretty three player map around a pretty expression

(3)Ringing Stream - Very powerful 3-player map with wonky expansions all over the place. Great for 3 player FFA, questionable for 2 player duels

(3)Sand Gate - These random hallucinations are .. ? Well, the center expansion mineral lines are nicely embedded. Also, the high ground each player has to access the middle is a good thought.

(3)Stratholme - Super interestaing gas concept! Would like to see how this plays out in actual matches

(3)Treachery - Good choice dereasing 3rd expansion resource yield and making it super open but close. This very quickly paces the game into mid-late game

(3)Turbine - Despite the vastly unused space around the expansions I think Turbine has a great balance of looks (those center fan blades man) and gameplay. If I had any vote left I'd cast it on Turbine.
