Map: Lagoon

Inspired by Blood Bath from the original starcraft.

1v1, 2v2, ffa

please try this with your friends and let me know about balance, as I opted not to create a "mirror image" for each base.

You can play this with your friends right now. heres how: Link

what adaptions of sc1 maps have people made besides python and bgh?

I've seen Fighting Spirit, Match Point, Medusa, and HBR basically finished, and a fairly done Destination as well.

Couldn't find the Match Point. I'm sure it's here somewhere.

Anti-zerg? With those wide open spaces, no chokes no ramps? Are you kidding me?!

The closest thing to a "choke" on that map is right in the middle, and it looks like it would take a CC to wall that off. >:[

Those "chokes" as you call them are either
1) In the middle, in very contestable territory. Nobody is going to wall-off there. Any gateway/rax you build to wall off is practically a proxy.
2) as wide as the distance between the gases. How exactly do you wall that off?

Kulas Ravine, on the other hand, can be completely blocked off with 1 set of destructible rocks.

Balance aside, that would be a very boring map to play on.

You're the one highlighting the middle of the map and calling that a choke, and you say I don't know what I'm talking about. -.-"

Go ahead and get a third opinion and see what they say.

All the most epic games ever are on BGH! It does have to be better balanced for SC2 though especially since Stalkers have blink...

I think that would only make it that much more interesting. :D

We'll see how things go once I can actually get the map tested with others online.

EDIT: I'm not too worried about stalkers to be honest. The map is already horribly balanced with tanks in mind. All this will mean is Protoss players can blink to anything that's already tankable, which is a fair trade since they recalling against a turtle is so much harder.

Guys i am currently working on Ride of the Valkyries, however i have a couple questions.
Is there any way to rotate the screen so i can see the other side of cliffs?
Is there a way to pick the exact height for a location?
Does it always take forever to smooth out the texture?

THANKS! :D

And is there any way to make any highground a cliff by default because i am having trouble making cliffs without fuckin everything up.

You rotate the screen by holding ctrl and rightclick-dragging.
And are you even using cliffs? From the screenshot it looks like you're just using the height tool.

One does not simply height-tool into cliffs.

think of it this way...

on each yellow line that army is going to have a disadvantage, and pink the advantage; because its a strategic choke point.

And yet none of that matters when you have 8 zerglings in your base screwing up your mineral line because you can't keep them out because you only have one marine/zealot out at that point.
