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. you can get the same effect by building any race's vespene collection building Show nested quote +On January 11 2008 15:24 FakeSteve[TPR] wrote:
offensive 8rax, kill THEIRS. notice how theres like no room for gateways outside them?
not kill my own why would i do that 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.
how's he gonna rebuild assimilators if i have bunkers he can't kill? range goons cant hit a bunker from behind an obstacle, and bunkered marines will be able to hit that obstacle
i mean hes basically waiting for reaver at that point, which means reaver drop or dt drop are the most likely options assuming i successfully bunker those assimilators... if i make preparing for those options a priority i'm sure it can be an effective build haha
who knows? my execution sucks anyway

Is anyone else wondering how annoying lurkers will be in those woods? Your army is trailing through the trees, seeing barely anything, suddenly spikes from left, spikes from right with a paranoid feeling to it. Maybe even trouble with targetting due to nearby trees, who knows.

Maps keep getting weirder and weirder. Can't wait to see gosus play on it

I was never a fan of Neo Arkanoid so I'm feeling pretty sceptical about Troy. Please prove me wrong.
The Demon's Forest-map really has my attention though. It sounds as if it could be a zerg-heaven indeed, but I think protoss could do really well here also. I always figured protoss like many skirmishes with lower unit counts, where their fewer and stronger units can shine, not to mention the possibility to rescharge shields between said skirmishes.
Could be some dropship-play inc. from terrans on this one? Just a thought.
Anywho, it's always refreshing with new maps. To my SC-interest a new spark it ignites every time, it does.
Ps. As a huge fan of ancient history, the whole Teutoburg Forest inspiration totally has me hooked. "Varus give me back my zealo... uh I mean legions!"

Katrina is clearly fine! 
No, really, I agree. Katrina, if any map, should be removed due to balance issues.
It's too carrier-friendly and generally too open to protoss maneuvering and various drops.

i think lurkers will rape m+m forces so badly on demons forest....

Yeah, imagine all the marine vs lurker micro in the forest!

Mass Wraiths then  , also with the forest I think it would be to easy to hold 3 expos at once, I haven't gone as far in my thought process of how thats going to affect different races and the game but I know it will be interesting!
|
They DO look really imba....
In Demon/Wraith/Haunted Forest, i hav some worries against T....
The backyard expo seems vulnerable to tanks if they can be placed on the cliffs but im not sure.
Also, 3 o'clocks backyard expo seems like its in the range of tanks from what seems to be the 3o'clock nat or the min only. Can someone clarify this for me? Thanks in advance.

About the ASSIMILATOR thing:
It's a blizzard slip up, that they didn't bother to fix since 1.00
It's just that both the assimilator and refinery have a smaller size then the vespene geyser, with the assimilator being the smaller of the two and only the zerg extractor has the same size as the vespene geyser.
Since I dunno how exactly are they spaced and if the 4 positions are even balanced regarding to the different race gas buildings, I dunno how much it screws the different races if they rebuild them.

These maps are fucking kickass. I can't wait for them to be thrown out so I can play them. I especially like Troy & the assimilators. PvT kill the assimilators & the T is so fucked lol hmm ur right, if you kill the T's assimilators, how the fuck are they gonna do anything at all? lol
Warp in new assimilators?

yep, but gollies will rape mutas too so terrans will have a big incentice to go metal vs zerg. Zerg going crqax/swarm tho will be hard to handle

I very much like this new mechanic with the assimilators, but the gas/expo amount on that map is ridiculous.
The forest map is just cool.

Does anyone else think that by starting on the bottom of troy you have a decent advantage, because the ramps to both 3 and 9 point south?
Yes it looks quite positionally imbalanced to me too. It's easier to get to that point from the South, and in Terran's MUs that's a good position for siege tanks to look over the big entrance ramp. Meele units will have a harder time.

Hmm, in the Demon Forest map it seems as though you can't see ANY units underneath the trees ... does this mean you have to rely completely on sound and the minimap or something?
Is so then that is AWESOME

Wouldn't that be bad for watching on TV?
