Updated OP with:

(2) Mango [non-competition]
(2) Legend [map concept]
(4) Corruption [competition]

Let me know what you think of them, particularly Legend.

I like Legend. I think it's a cool concept and reminds me of Brood War maps (can't put my finger on why).

Off-topic:

I'm a little curious, what separates competition maps from non competition maps? Are competition maps intended for competitive, submitted to map making competitions, currently played in competitions or something else?

Non-competition often lack in terms of layout (expo) or paths which lead to a dull gameplay or they are experimental maps (style/layout/...).

I think this would be cool for Legend. Put the gold on the low ground closer to your main so if you want to be more aggressive you could take that but it would also open you up a lot more. Make the higher ground where the gold is smaller...not sure if you'd want to add anything up on it though?

Also, if you keep it your way make sure you can't get vision into the main from sitting up on that gold high ground.

Heh... I'm actually working on that thread now, going to rewrite some stuff.

Thanks! Non-competition maps are maps that aren't good enough to be played in competitive games- the competition maps are either currently being used, or are intended to be used.

Non-competition often lack in terms of layout (expo) or paths which lead to a dull gameplay or they are experimental maps (style/layout/...).


Yeah, but they are really good for learning and trying out ideas.

That would be cool... my reason I don't want it against the main is because it wouldn't be used as a 5th base leading off of the 4th in the corner. I will move the gold closer to the main so you can take it as an aggressive base, but it can't be quite that close.

Don´t you think this would lead to too many turtle-games? If for example terrans have a few tanks and marines on that highground there is pretty much nothing your opponent can do to do damage. What would you think about making the center a highground to make the defenders advantage smaller?

Possibly. I played some test games and they wen't alright, but the cliff above the nat was really annoying and the third is pretty turtley. Right now I'm just going to keep testing and refine it. I'm not happy with the gameplay as it is.
