it's a visual complaint but I get really annoyed for some reason when I load and my starting base has one texture for all the ground. I'm seeing some grass stuff but really... it looks really bland. It's one of the tell tale signs that i'm playing on a conversion map when the ground looks so plain. put some contrast in there please. I beg you. the green and brown work well in the wc3 map. right now you got grey... and a slightly greenish grey... anything to make it look like it didn't just come out of the editor... besides that I'm rather interested in playing on this map with the third behind the main... and also seeing water. haven't played on maybe maps with water. | ||

And make that little path in between the starting area and the rocks unpassable (if it is in the first place, the little part in between them seperating the golds from the other guys starting minerals) Making the third only being accessed by air I though would make terrain a little op, but if it isn't, it's really easily defended by zerg and terran anyway, and that little part where the water comes by the choke to make the choke a little smaller? Yeah, that'd be a good idea. =] | ||

But it looks way different from the editor into the game itself, (terrain wise with the blending and such) so if you haven't yet, please look at it in game once. You can do this by opening it in the editor and clicking test document / map. And if you still believe it needs more grass, then I shall add more, but otherwise I may just some more because yes, it does look plain. =] | ||

I wouldn't think so either way, as far as the second comment though I was talking about this, circled in red, not sure if it's passable but just incase: ![[image loading]](http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/6571/terrainexplain4.jpg) | ||

It looks like you've pushed everything towards the centre too much. However, it has potential so keep at it. | ||

I didn't see the inner square outline so now it looks much less compact. You need to make it a bit more attractive. Right now it looks too boring. | ||

Rush distances, hard expos, easy expos, etc. I think you did the original twisted meadows justice too. I approve! Haha thanks. xDD yeah, i may change some of those high yield to regular, but i'm not sure, haven't had the chance to test the map.

Yeah, I didn't change the map size after I did the converter, which I prolly should have because space a a little limited haha. On July 22 2010 13:13 Joseph. wrote: Terrain or Terran?

I wanna see how all the races place on it, and know what I have to change and such. Shall be very interesting! =P On July 22 2010 13:36 OdnoB wrote: i dont think wc3 maps work very well as ports, they dont have enough open space for the late game, and even though i've probly played 2000 games on TM, im just not feeling this, sorry =( That's absolutely fine, because every player has a different style and feel for maps, and not everyone likes the way maps are. Thanks for posting and giving some input tho, every little bit helps to improve my maps and how I design the new ones I come up with. xD | ||

Midgame looks like zerg would be happy with the expansion pathing and also with drops // nydus. | ||

Yeah, thats the main thing I'm worried about it TANKS! haha They are always a big deal when I think of a map to make, because if the paths are too close one or two tanks can hold off a large area...they just make map designing that much more of a challenge, but I like it. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad tho, since the races together aren't quite perfectly "balanced" yet. Never know how things will change. | ||

1. replace the gold with the 3rd but make the gold an island. 2.close distance between gold and mains thats not suppose to take that gold. 3. Add a layer of terrain between natural and choke and make choke to natural smaller so a forge FE is possible. 4. Make the main farther from center because it feels sieged tanks can easily gurantee 5 bases... | ||
