This is my sixth map. View the rest of my projects by clicking the thread banner or this link!

[image loading]



The map's idea came from TL user TrueRedemption (see his image in the "Additional images" section. I saw it, asked him if I could make it, and after some changes and redesigning this is the final result. Personally, it reminds me somewhat of Destination.

The theme of the map is an abandoned space station that was studying or processing the spires that you see all over the map.

Features:

-Steppes of War-sized ramps at the natural to middle
-Xel'Naga Towers at 4th expansions
-Double wide ramps to the high ground middle
-LOS blockers in the middle for interesting tactics
-Gold expansions are 6M2G, all other expansions are 8M2G

I was worried the original would be uninteresting and too easy to macro on. Now it's very similar to Destination

Looks god, but first expansions looks very easy to take, and ramp seems very small there, so people can just build at expo ramp and FE?

One of the first user made maps I've seen that I haven't had any major complaints with. Looks pretty solid so far, and definitely playable. Good job!

Love the map, how it looks and the whole abandoned theme of it. As a zerg player it reminds me of metalopolis, the whole friendly half crescent naturals expand thing. But I think that the gold expansions seem too easy to obtain and hold. There's only one choke point, and it can be reinforced quickly from your main.

Yeah, they can. The map is pretty macro oriented with some great cheese/rush opportunities (lol, proxy gateways in the los blockers)

What's wrong with FE? Lots of people already do it on Lost Temple, Blistering Sands, etc.

You make it sound like expansions are a bad thing!

It's a cool map, and it does feel a lot like Metalopolis, but with the gold expos around the exterior instead of in the middle. I think the dynamic of everything around the perimeter will work well as a 2 player map.

The 3rd at the bottom of the map is closer to the natural than the third at the top of the map (hence why mapanalyzer determines the top 3rd to be the gold instead. Besides that minor issue which should be a simple fix, 'tis a nice map.

You're welcome.

Just had another quick look around the map and I think that the choke to the gold expansions might be a bit too narrow (it's hard to tell exactly how wide it is just from the screenshots) - especially with that biodome there. At least I think that's what that doodad is called. Might be a good idea to widen that area up a little too.

Unless playtesting proves the current setup to be bad, I'll be leaving it the way it is as I intended the gold to have a narrow choke like that.

Really great map, you definitely realized the concept of my rough sketch and then improved it. Keep up the incredible work, you are directly contributing to the evolution of the game even without the Beta being up.

Thanks man, I'm glad you saw this. I was actually going to PM you the link today but looks like I don't have to :D

I've fixed the issue funcmode discovered, as well as another bug (floodlight doodad placed inside a vespene geyser making it unbuildable)
Here's version 1.1 (Will update the OP asap)

Also, I've started working on my next project: Altar of Darkness. I've produced an Alpha design, but I'm not sure if I like it or not. I'm looking for some feedback, so if you're interested in helping post in [GE] prodiG's Map Thread (Page 4), or vote in the poll inside the spoiler:

[image loading]
+ Show Spoiler [Altar of Darkness alpha design] +

This is my alpha design for Altar of Darkness. What do you guys think? Should I change it or finish it?

Features:
Can't build in the red textured area between the natural choke and open middle area. (checkerboarded so you can place creep tumors and sensor towers, but nothing else)
The cliff around the 3rds will be non-pathable

Here's a poll for everyone who likes to lurk instead of post:

I'm really liking Redemption. Very high quality, and looks very balanced as well. Your texture work is impressive too. I could learn a thing or two from the way you textured that map. I looked at some of your other maps too. All of them are top notch! Keep up the good work man.
yup, I'm a nub.
