(like @ djungle tileset where you have jungle/mud/dirt, which are all buildable).My comments: This map has a very confusing and interesting concept. First of all I'm not sure if the that's a cliff or a wall that's blocking the main bases to their nats... it looks very similar to the "ditches" used in Martian Cross (old map) but when you look at the expansions at 3 and 9, they're overlapped by minerals. The description leads me to believe the bases aren\'t blocked off to their nat, but the design is mis-leading. | ||

Oh, I thought about that. But I thought geyser and gas had the same sizes.... but as a newb campaign editor I have no real clue. I think that makes more sense though. | ||

But at first glance, the way "crags" are surrounding the bases you'd think they're blocking it off. | ||

perhaps a zealot rush would be very viable pvt on troy in order to kill the assmiliators. | ||

Sort of like how units can overlap with the missile turret. | ||

And noobienoob, those trees probably aren't all doodads (i.e. restrict movement, sight, and block fire), but more like 1/5 doodads and 4/5 sprites (which look the same, but don't have any gameplay effects besides blocking visuals), though I'm unsure of the ratio, obviously. Large units better be able to fit through. | ||

Once the assimilators are gone, perhaps the terran player can just start refineries at both geysers to open a path | ||

If you stack two missile turrets above each other, I think small units etc can pass through because they can overlap with the top part of the turret. However, if you try the same with Supply depots, it won't work because supply depots overlap with themselves. | ||

This could lead into some interesting tactics, i am curious about that map, but i really hate island maps. And Maybe the Demon's forest will do something different with the opening nowadays (who can invent the better FE build). that's an interesting point. If the geyser is under the assimilators (which seem more likely now) and they're rebuilt with extractors or refineries, do the sizes change from the assimilator size? And I'm guessing the gases would have 0, since 4 gas is just imba. Although if I was z I would take those gasses still, since depleted geysers still give you gas, and that gas will accumulate over time... (then again that's like 8 extra drones... hmm) | ||
