New Worlds Map Contest 2: Semi Finals (VOTE NOW!)

- Size: 128x120
- Concept: Horizontal axial symmetry 2p map with some slight distortion along the centre line.
Sideways natural layout to bring player's rally point all the way up to the map's midline.
Triangle base outside the main/bat to offer expansion choices in both directions (same idea as on Защитная Технология and Dimensionshed).
Tight stair-ramps to the northern high ground strip restrict access to only small units (Like 815-ramps or Blue Storm chokes).
Big plateau in the centre creates another axis for vertical movement on army positioning on the map to incentivize players to become active on the map on the lookout for a positional advantage.
Bottom Geyser positions (nats, triangle bases) have a +1 y-offset now for increased efficiency (particularly benefits Terran)

- Concept:2p Highly Experimental map. Pathways can be opened by destroying Protoss Temples, and can be sealed by destroying Troy Gates. Over the course of a game this map will slowly transform into an island map, with creep beacons that can be destroyed for Zerg to access nydus canal locations.

Main ramp mineral value = 32
One Mineral at Naturals/Thirds = 744
Geysers at Naturals/Thirds = 4000
Center Expansion = 10 x 2000 M + 2 x 7500 G
All Temples are single.

- Concept:
*This is a map that tells a story. The story of a space station fatally struck by an asteroid, and of the desperate struggle of the survivors.
*The layout is based on Minerals' and my previous attempts in 3 player maps with island expansions and the theoretical considerations they led me to about the simplest layout for for such a map that would allow equal ground expansion opportunities in either direction.
*Geysers for all ground 3rd bases are reduced to 3k gas.
*Island currently bases have no depleted Mineral Fields or other kind of block, as we figured that in the modern meta Terran wouldn't actually be able to gain a stable early advantage by floating a CC.
*Combination of sprites and vision blockers between the main and triangle third act as a wall of pseudo-4th terrain level.
*For Terran, Tanks on the ledges of the centre area can act as "artillery support" for drops on the islands – they cannot hit workers, resource depots or geysers directly, but can clear the area in front of them of defensive structures and units. + Show Spoiler [Show example] +

- Size: 128x112
- Concept: Based on Midnight Crossing by sTYle_ZerG & Minerals. This iteration is intended to disincentivise an overly turtle playstyle by forcing players to spread out further and eventually having to extend into the middle areas of the map.
Five separate low ground paths separate the players. Each, except the center path, offering access to a different kind of expansion.

- Concept: 2p standard map. Large two player map with many areas to fight over and many bridges and ramps to gain a positional advantage. 3/9 o'clock Gas volume is 2000.

- Version: 0.7.2
- Size: 128x128
- Concept: 3p standard-hybrid map. Standard main/natural and center layout with two semi-island bases and a forward third. The main has a mineral-walled backdoor into the close island. Each patch in the mineral wall has 32 minerals. The other islands are separated by neutral Protoss Temples (not stacked). Neutral creep colonies near the backdoor gas base so that Zerg can wall at the choke.
