If so, I'm not sure how big of a deal it will be since there is ample room to get units in and defend, or make some form of static defense Definitely worth considering though. Also, I've uploaded a version 1.1 which deals with the tanks sieging into nats issue, as well as some re-doodad-ing Oopsie daisies took me a little while to reply, sorry. But what I mean is that the top left and bottom right have it harder than the other two ones; for example, in the ones where the gas is tucked closer to the minerals, you can make 1 turret that covers one side of your mineral line and the gas workers at the same time from air. In the other bases, unless I'm grossly overestimating the distances, you'd have to make a turret just to protect the gas workers and also turrets for the mineral line. Even for units to defend against the harass, he can hit workers on one side, pulling you to it then hit the other resources on the other side, which is much harder for him when the gas is right next to the mineral line. It's not like it's impossible to defend but it still seems easier in 2 positions than in the 2 other ones from what I can see, which is a positional imbalance. Idk if that would be true in a real game or even if it makes sense, just feels that way for me from looking at it. | ||

I'll keep it in mind, however  EDIT: and by keep it in mind, i mean it's something i'd like to test | ||

I'd love to keep working, but I'm out of ideas of how to improve this without legitimate playtest ...And, I want to go to sleep. Uploaded version 1.5, see OP for link and changes If anyone wants to playtest over the weekend with a friend, directions on how to do it are in the OP (I haven't tried them but apparently they work) Any feedback is good! | ||

Thought it was just to place it in the map folder and voila. Not until possibly next patch. Right now they only let us play with the editor. I hear theres a fat workaround to be able to view it on your own, though, but I dunno the specifics. EDIT: Durr, the link is in the OP lol. It's broken though  | ||

The only thing I don't really like are the watchtower positioning, but maybe it's because it wasn't part of the original FS so it's sticking out like a sore thumb. | ||

Well that would the expansion have access to 2 separate gold mineral patches and 4 high-yield geysers. Would be a bit ridiculous since it's much easier to defend than 2 separate normal-yield expansions. | ||
