Map is UP on US on Patch 15, haven't had any luck publishing on EU for some reason...
Go to custom > create game, and search "Fighting Spirit" under Popular


To anyone who wants to use this map in a tournament, shoot me a PM and let me know. I definitely won't say no, but if there are matches going to be played I'd like to know when to watch 8D

Fighting Spirit SC2 recently won qxc's SC2 BW mapmaking contest! Showmatches with team root TBA
[image loading]
I am currently testing this map as well as my first original map (2) Impervious


I need feedback! Test the map out and tell me what you think about it!

These are before I had the layout done

I started by using the import legacy map tool, which decided not to do anything with the terrain on the top part of the map :/
[image loading]
[image loading]
Two bases done!
[image loading]
Three bases!




Map Features:

-Center base has rich geysers which return 6 per trip, and 12 patches instead of the standard 8. (In the original, there was two geysers which was double the gas you'd get from a normal base.)
-Center base blocked by a destructible rock
-All naturals can be walled in with forge gateway cannon side-by-side, or barracks barracks depot
-Cannot build on bridge or around it (Like in BW, there are 1x1 holes so Zerg can place creep tumors)
-Cannot walk or blink across the spiky area between main and 3rd. (like in bw)
-Cannot walk on any of the cliff edges around the naturals or the middle (like in bw)
-Reapers and colossi cannot move over the walls in the middle.
-Watchtowers at the north and south ends of the middle diamond. This is still up for testing

Feedback is appreciated!

Looks freaking awesome so far, cant wait for maps like this to get out there which will promote higher economy games, hopefully making army sizes bigger and in turn micromanagement harder

Should get whoever takes over the map to make the center field gold as well.

I started working on a melee map; it's called Alterac :D The sides aren't balanced or anything, but it's the outline.

I also think if the center has rich geysers, it should be blocked by a destructible rock

Keep in mind you need to have actual cliffs and not just morphed terrain. If you use morphed terrain units will not hesitate to swim the channel rather than using the bridges

This is very important. Be sure you're using the cliff tool when sectioning off impassable water areas.

-The cliffs around the nats need pathing blockers so ground units can't get on them

-Everything outside the blue border is garbage, if I understand the editor correctly
-There are no spawn locations, I couldn't find them
-The vespene geysers disappeared when I tried to place them :/
-It needs details. Badly. :/

If anyone does go ahead and finish this, give some credit to prodiG for getting it started, will ya? ;D

Use cliffs, dont use pathing blockers. (height changes dont affect pathing, only cliffs do)
Start locations are in the points layer.
The yellow border is where your camera stops, the blue border is where units stop moving. (i think)

I was kind of wondering about that...

and i was avoiding using cliffs for between the bases because i can't put little bits of cliff that nothing can land on like in sc1

Thanks. I'm thinking about putting watchtowers on the top and bottom of the middle area, not far from the 3rd exit. Thoughts?~

Looks like you can siege the nat's gas from the outside if you have vision at 7 and 11?

I agree!
i'll have to test and fix!
looking at FE from SC1 the river is a little bigger around that area, nice catch

@Statix:
if you want to try this on bnet, http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/map-development/344-play-custom-maps-on-official-battle-net-custom-games/
