This will fix the "free gold expo" for terran in the Early game, and fix the whole "omg free gold" for zerg as a 3rd. That way, it will force the expo to be taken far later in the game - when both races will likely have air tech available anyway. As for the "need pressure to take the middle." argument, why not make a gold expo with 2 less mineral patches but 3 geysers (Like the double gas expos on a few BW maps IIRC). Just a thought. | ||

Thats why I may be pulling everything away from the center a bit, put before I do, I wanna get some testing in.

Just added that. Also, I designed a ton of Maps in BW (Mostly UMS, but still, basic design.) PM me if you want to hit me up on MSN/AIM and I'd be more than happy to discuss this map, it looks amazing so far. | ||

PM me if you want to hit me up on MSN/AIM and I'd be more than happy to discuss this map, it looks amazing so far. Well thank you. And I was thinking about doing that, but when I finished the terrain part I didn't have much room, but I think I can squeez one in there. And I just bought the special edition of Sc2 off Gamestop, but next week I'll be leaving for a week up north so I will not be home for release. =/ And after the Day[9] games tonight, I'll be reformatting my comp. So I won't have much time to chat or anything, but I'll have more time towards the middle of August. =D | ||

Yes, I think they roast the trees down, and tanks just wtf pwn them lol. And what's also nest, is that creep kills the trees and bushes too. Its pretty neat. | ||

Good call, that too. I don't know if that would affect the map at all in terms of balance, but it could be a plus just for burning/creeping eye candy. | ||

Yeah, it makes the map play out slightly different and drastically changes the look of it. Which I think is pretty cool. xD | ||

It depends on how things go and how players wanna play it out and how well they can defend. Like I said, this map has never been tested (that I know of), and therefore, needs to be. There will be changes made, and therefore changing how the map plays out. Only the future can tell. =] | ||

Games tend to be over in less than 12min, with the smalls maps it encourages everyone to all in and or cheese more often in that fear of 1 giant timing push. It would be nice to have bigger maps like kulas ravine (less rocks) to be able to use the map as a whole, to play the macro game and practice that. I find it very difficult to play macro when every other opponent can just all in and one of the only ways to counter that is play the mirror style. Longer distances to spawn points encourage different strategies. It's a shame that desert oasis is a 2 player map, if it was a 4 player map I think that map would be alot better Yes, I do agree with this, but, this is a 4 player map, and if you spawn cross positions, the rush distance is that much longer. Ofcourse you will not know this until you have scouted, but that does change the starts and plays people will use for the map which makes it even more interesting. And I agree with Desert Oasis, if they would have made it a 4 player, it'd be so much better. | ||

Yes I may have to end up doing that, widening the center and spreading the bases out a bit. it will be a bit tricky but it will be done. I want some testing done on this version first, before I do anything crazy tho. xD | ||
