Overgrown looks like it could be quite interesting, I would say a great zerg map other than the long expansion distance, but still the open feel of it would benefit zerg.

Dusty - I really like this map actually. It sort of reminds me of the good ol' Destination, although I know it's different, but it seems like a great bread n butter 1v1 map. I think it will definitely promote/allow for fast expanding, and the third out the back is nice. One thing, I don't really see the high yields getting much use, because bases in the dead center of the map are just impossible to defend unless you have an overwhelming force, at which point you coud've already won the game 5 minutes ago. Maybe in a 200-200 battle, someone could end up grabbing it, I'm not sure. I know if the high yields were on the sides, they would get significant use as sneaky expansions or as a 4th. And does this map have watch towers or grass on it by the way?

Thanks for the feedback! And yes, it does have watch towers and Line of Sight Blockers around the watch Towers. I'll have to edit the picture to show that kind of stuff. And I'll change the center around so the gold will be easier to defend, or should I just have the 4th be a gold?

And yeah. Before I found out about Sc2, all I would play would be CoD4. haha

Update: I uploaded a picture of Twisted Meadows terrain so please give me some feedback on it. And do you want to be able to get to the 3rd by ground or have it an island expo? thanks =]

Damn, Twisted Meadows will be an insane macromap. Having a gold so close to the natural? It's almost a gold as a third... Well, it might be some insane and epic battles, but it also might just totally crash... It seems like tanks even here got some pretty good places to siege, so i remain skeptical. But i also see some opportunitys. I'll have to play it when the game launch to decide =)

Well the golds are blocked by rocks...and I can always increase the health if necessary or just remove them totally. And I don't think the expos behind the bases should be islands because Terran would be op on this map but as of now they aren't. You can walk in the shallow water which is pretty cool just like in Wc3. I am kinda liking this map and I think it's pretty close to the look of the Wc3 version. If anyone thinks the terrain is not right, please let me know before I start texturing and all that. =]

wow red plante looks identical to fighting spirit loool

but the maps seem really nice, you didn't do anything super crazy. i'm a fan of macro maps so twisted meadows looks nice

oh btw you are aware that twisted meadows is a wc3 map right? just wondering since overgrown looks like booty bay and you didn't know what booty bay was haha.

Lol. Thanks. And yeah, someone who posted in this thread asked me to remake Twisted Meadows from Wc3, so I am. I'm looking for some opinions and comments on the terrain so far. I think it looks pretty similar, but I want other eyes to see it. =]

Is it really important that it is very similar? Well, of course it fun to play the absolute same map, but if you could change it to look like the same place but like 5000 years later. Like a bit more decandent or maybe entirely dead? =) would be fun, like it's accually is the same place but in the time SC2 happens

Do you mind changing the tileset of overgrown? It feels like someone's pouring acid on my eyes.

Otherwise it has the potential to be a very good map.

I knew there where something bothering me about that map, i just couldn't figure out what...

The watchtower add is really good, perfect boost to the map! =)

Yeah I can prolly change it. It does seem real bright and green haha. And thanks. =] Thats what I'm hoping for.

And yeah, It wasn't as useful at the bottom as where it is now. xD

Twisted Meadows is now downloadable! And I changed the tileset for Overgrown and fixed the problem with the water. Check them out!
