Should the Troy map be imba? Protoss can rewiden their gap by building assims on top of the geysers (if they were destroyed), so their choke will always be open.

lol then you'll get contained into your base with goons camping your gate til you get siege mode up, meanwhile the toss will double expand into carriers

hahahaha carriers look hella nasty on this map too ;(

the Troy map looks for Terran to me cuz it looks like geometry and demon's forest looks for Protoss becuz it kinda looks like Loki to me :D but who knows i could be wrong

So if you destroy the assimilators and build your own, you can mine from dual depleted geysers? Seems like it could be worth it, especially for zerg.

What do you think of this gas rebuilding balance? I think terrans will have a huge advantage on it, since they can suspend a building's construction (clicking cancel while the constructor scv is selected), while other races can not. This would mean that terrans can comfortably build the refineries and walk in and out with tanks, and if they are in danger, 2 clicks, and the half-build refineries are gone in a second, and the only enemy unit that can come through are marines, ghosts and lings. Meanwhile, if the other races are in danger, they have to kill their gas buildings (imo damaging them to several hp won't work very well, hence both p and z has some regeneration on buildings. I think this could lead to serious balance issues.

Woah, cant wait to see a progamer use that technique
Well, from what I learnt about map, the more unique the map is, the more imbalanced it is

The technique will work ok for early game aggression but unless terran wants to play 1 base all game they're going to have to leave the assim wall. I think protoss will benefit nicely from this new map feature by unlocking the gate quickly with a probe

You can always view opponent's units as red colored.

of course you can destroy the assims, but the terran can still put tow new refineries onto it.

edit

luckily they put assims there instead of refineries. because then terran players would be able to repair them T_T

are these maps out for testing?? sounds imba and confusing.
I not into melee maps but in UMS custom tiles are everywhere.
If the geysers are NOT on the grids, you CAN'T build on to them. (if i am not mistaken)

in a TvP, i think offensive bunker would win this, then tech to sieged tanks.

cant he spend 100 minerals and make another assimilator? I think you'd actually be behind if you went 8 rax.

If you cant build new assim tho, that would be a pretty nasty strat.
Reaver would be 1 of the few things you'd have to prep for.

If the information in the first post is correct, it must be custom tiles, so either not a geyser when you destroy it, or an unbuildable one. I made a map to test that assimilator layout, and only small units and hydras fit through with the assimilators, only ghosts fit with refineries, and nothing fits with geysers or extractors.

I dont really like the troy map except for the assimilator thing. The other one looks really cool but TvP looks sorta annoying cuz it will be hard to setup in that tree field

I think the players wont be able to build anything after the assimilators are destroyed, but if they will, they could always destroy ONE of them in order to get more gas.
