Python had minerals on the islands, right? o_o I'm really interested to see where the spawn locations are for these maps (if it's possible to not spawn cross positions on TestMap 5). I'd prefer the map 10x more if that were true | ||

Map 1 is lost temple... identical with island expensions no longer island expensions.... Cool add some dept but i like lost temple the way it is now... Dont need that... But i sure would like a map like it. Map 2: Is cool... a bit too many cliff and really easy 3rd for zerg... but it will favor cliff walker too much... reaper and collosus and drop abuse ... dont think its gonna be a good map... Map 3 : Really good map... THe natural is really cool with 2 path and everything. Creep spread to the main will be a key here... just 1-2 creep tumor will do but until then... you got tat split path... Map 4: Wide ramp... Protoss will hate it... + close spawn will be unplayable... Sad since the coolest thing about this map is the duoble destructable rocks between naturals ... which are really cool.. Map 5: I Like the mix 3rd base of close spawn. Rush distance seems okay... THe base are huge.... around 1.5x the base we are use to... Its a good map Overall Map 5 and Map 3 are really good Map 4 will be unplayable for protoss against early rush and too close for zerg too Map 2 will be a pain with harass which i dont think will benefit zerg at all... and map 1 is.. Lost temple but kinda strange... Could work but would like another map instead of temple... same concept but with another map | ||

Destructible rocks all over the map? Check. Gold bases in the middle of the map? Check. Expansions being blocked by destructible rocks? Check. Backdoor rocks that make it uncomfortable to play on more than 2 bases? Check. Bases extremely close together? Check. | ||

Hopefully some of them don't allow close spawns. Also, they need implement the same changes gsl did to no longer allow ramps to be blocked off by bunkers. They also shouldn't be putting gold minerals and tons of rocks on every map. Especially gold minerals. Fuck up the entire flow of the game. | ||

Come on people, seriously. Be happy that Blizzard is making an effort. Not only that, but they threw them up on the PTR first...they might be open to change before they get added to ladder. Ease up people, ease up. | ||

I'd also test the map before judging them too harshly, or see if they are used in the GSL and see how well balanced they are. | ||

Thatd be a viable arguement if you paid a subscription fee. The maps are an improvement over what we currently have, and as long as they keep supporting the game, this is a (small) step in the right direction! | ||

I'd prefer the map 10x more if that were true minerals aren't destructible buildings, as someone mentioned earlier. also neutral creep colonies don't count, as they are low hp and can actually be utilised by zerg. | ||

No cliffs, a lot easier to access a 3rd. They pretty much took everyones complaints and responded accordingly. Same can't be said for most of the other maps, sadly. | ||
