These maps truly feel new. Not standard maps with a little different layout. Cant wait to play them and especially to see the pros show off some cool stuff. @Chill Look at War3. Theyre playing Turtle Rock for years now. You hardly see some new interesting maps there. Just because people want to play the standard game (because its the one most balanced). | ||

You can have different maps that lend themselves to different tactics while they are using standard strategies. | ||

If you're talking about stats being imbalanced on those maps, the sample is way to small to make any judgments, even Katrina (a fan favourite), has really imbalanced stats. Honestly, statistics are stupid. It's up to good players to overcome maps (which maybe sounds brutal, but it's happened in the past). Ex: Think of every final in the past two years. How many of those had one player 'overcoming a map unfavourable to his race?' How many 'upsets' have happened, based on what people though about the map? ;P Almost all maps today FORCE you to pretty much FE every game. How the fuck is that making all strategies viable? How often do you see one base strategies? NEVER, and you wanna know why? Because the maps make them near impossible to play! You'll never see a Terran with a StarPort before he's expoed these days, but it used to happen all the time. And I'm not saying any map should have a dominant "winning" strategy. I'm saying that strategy shouldn't always be macro whore. players are better nowadays too, thats why one base terran doesnt work as well, if you get down its almost impossible to comeback so its better to just expand. | ||

Summery : 1 tile has 32X32 dots and unit path is determinded by dots and each units and ground buildings has different sizes(I.E, Assimilator is smaller than vespene gas layerm terran refinery, zerg extractor). so, if there are many dot spaces to the small biuldings, large units can path through. If not, only small units or no units can do. | ||

because the trees will screw up (probably) the pathing for zealots. dragoons will suffer from the trees more than siege tanks. Really though, I dont see a way to play this map tvz without relying heavily on drops. | ||

downloads! Troy is here and Demon Forest is here but the download link is busted :X Read the first post on those pages please. The map download is filler because I wanted to upload the picture of the map to BWMN. It's actually a different map that has nothing to do with these. | ||
