Damn straight I'm going to make more than five. T_T (I'll probably upload any extra maps on a friend's account or something) | ||

I may be speaking prematurely here, but I think I'd like to see this map get some use in our iCCup TV events. =) If you do end up using it, let me know. I'd love to see it played by some high-level players. I've only personally played it against some of the downloadable AI and I haven't found any outstanding or game-breaking problems with the map, but it's understandably hard to have a good game against AI that loses to my first push or AI that cheats and rapes me with a 40 unit ball of roach hydra muta in 8 minutes  I hope all of my future projects are received as well as this one! I plan on finishing Redemption next. | ||

The only comment I really have on what I feel could be improved is: -The path from any base to any other base seems very choked in some places where it shouldn't be. It would be pretty easy to block someone in I feel. If you look at the highest elevation area in the middle, possibly consider widening (via a slant? to keep the X theme?) the areas immediately above the upper ramps and below the lower ramps. I think this would solve the problem. I like that the elevation dips low for the contested middle grounds. Great-looking map though. | ||

When I designed the map, I wanted it to punish you for sitting in your base for too long, which would result in some aggression being necessary if you wanted to keep up with a good opponent. I think it works well, but I'll keep your suggestion/any other suggestions in mind once I can actually test the map  | ||

This guy knows how to make balanced maps, unlike 99% of the other stuff we see in the map section (rambles on about impossible to defend naturals and mains with 2 unblocked entrances). I *think* they're balanced. Time will tell Not enough people are using drops or ferrying units around in sc2 so that's my excuse for everything | ||

I'm also a little unsure about the layout. 1v1 with vertical placements mean there really isn't much for expansion opportunities past your natural which could create imbalances. On the other hand Horizontal or cross positions gives you crazy expansion opportunities and you can cover up to 6 bases with only 2 relatively close ground chokes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are plenty of opportunities to expand no matter which way you spawn. You just have to think outside the box and take them <:D I think you should really take into consideration the criticism on the high yield. A 4 play map with 1 high yield containing no gas? Sure there are pleanty of other expansions to take, but at what point of the game does a player have a decision to make a pivotal move for a dangerous high yeild. Simple enough 1 hy for 4 players with no gas...ATLEAST add gas. Outside of that; I really appreciate the main//natural. Large base with alot of room for great drop harrass on both main and natural. However, I feel uncomforable with such tight travel lanes. Gains way to terran mech imo. Not much opportunity for flanking which makes Zerg ground Bantha Fodder. Against a turtling terran I see it being even more of a nightmare with the Main/Natural in comparison to the lane sizes. A siege tank on the ledge of the main is in range to shred units all the way to the next expansions ramp. I like the general cosmetics of the map but I would suggest amplifying the size of the map giving more room in the lanes. All in all thanks for the thread. Good Luck, I hope you submit more. | ||
