joyo is very hard to stop there, because the central path is very cramped... i played this the most out of the beta maps (which were around this time last year) and its kinda interesting.. can do some crazy proxy shit as well.. but primarily the hardest thing to stop was the 2fac joyo style push.. iono it just seemed very terran friendly imo... i think i can dig up hitchiker 0.90 if people are interested oh and a quick note about the imbalance of reverse temple... i say, bring back the interesting maps, with the imbalances, interesting concepts and designs make games more interesting and less predictable... i mean, look at tau cross, generic and balanced... whereas look at cultivation period, dynamic and imbalanced... cultivation lead towards more interesting games and new forms of gameplay had to be developed to cope, creating more diversity in our beloved game.. so then we come to reverse temple... balanced? that could be argued either way.. the positional supposed imbalances creates different styles of gameplay for each position.. i beleive the nesxt step will be to create a 3 player map with 3 completely different concepts for each of the possible starting location combinations (ie, lets say the positions are 11, 3 and 7... the terrain between 3 and 7 is different from 7 to 11, and different from 3 to 11...). imagine this! so many different combinations for play, imabalances? probably, cut you can design each different environment to be balanced for one particular mu or sumthing like that.. so to sum up, i guess, imbalances make the game fun  serious imbalances just ruin it for everyone  | ||

(while I was searching around I found this, which is funny cause statistically paradoxxx II is perfectly balanced.) On June 25 2004 11:45 4.Aiur wrote: Paradoxxx II P(3) v Z(1) P(2) v T(4) T(2) v Z(4) P: 5-5 50.0% T: 6-6 50.0% Z: 5-5 50.0% | ||

None of them really complete, does anyone know if there are ALL time OSL/MSL, or even proleague map statistics. I think it would be interesting to know whats the most balanced map used at pro level at some point. (while I was searching around I found this, which is funny cause statistically paradoxxx II is perfectly balanced.) These stats mean it is NOT balanced at all, because Protoss rapes Zerg(3 to 1 ratio), Terran rapes Protoss(2 to 1 ratio) and Zerg rapes Terran(2 to 1 ratio). | ||

Still, it is something that has to be tested to actually be proved... | ||
