I doubt they'd stay long. Demon's Forest has a very lame design, it now puts emphasis on luck, which is killing the balance of the game. | ||

Right now it seems you can't rebuild the bottom assimilator, so destroying it might be permanent. And having one assimilator up allows some larger units (maybe up to dt size?) to get through. Edit: New map, allows rebuilding of both geysers, but there's a hole on the left between cliff and assim: Ver 2 Edit: Weird hole where the ghost doesn't fit but meds/rines/firebat/lings fit Ver 3 | ||

If this is the case, terran would have all factory units walled, so vs toss they would always destroy the assimilators after sending their scout out (they can sneak other scvs out by starting/cancelling refineries. Otherwise, zealots can get in. This could play similarly to an island map but with an open expo for people expanding (kinda like 815 but with gas at the expo). I think the interesting concept is you can island off any other expo besides your nat (well, 4 ARE islands already, and 4 have the ability to be islands), so it actually might play like a multi-base island map (paradoxxx anyone?), but with the ability to scout all their bases with workers. I think it's an interesting concept. It might be better if I'm wrong and large units CAN fit through, otherwise we might see imbalances akin to paradoxxx. | ||

Check the collision size of assimilator and vespene geyser in SCMDraft. Assims are MUCH smaller while vespene geysers have maximum collision size for their tile occupation. You can test it in SC by building something large near the geysers, checking that your units can't pass between, then taking the gas and suddenly they can pass. The ghost issue is quite funny - their collision size is a very long rectangle. On horizontal axis they are smaller than zerglings, while on the vertical they are roughly the size of a hydralisk. | ||

A note to everyone: You cannot rebuild on the geysers after they've been destroyed. | ||

Better question: Why would I lie? Mappers talk to each other. I don't know the author of Troy, but a Korean named MapGhost who visits BWMN was one of the testers for these maps is in some form of contact with the author, and he said that's what the author said. | ||

If you could rebuild them you could also use them, so that'd mean you'd have 3 geysers in your natural. mass gas goooooo release the maps already ffs | ||

Obviously you underestimate the need for gas late game. | ||
