And to repeat what Raelcun said, Heartbreak Ridge is *not* an official iCCup map. The map was published without our consent and we have no affiliation with it's creator. | ||

Blizzard maps are imbalanced, and they are slowing the progress of this game. | ||

A lot of people have been saying that the centers of these maps need to be really wide open to encourage flank attacks and etc. I've seen a lot of maps with open centers recently, and obviously some maps with choke points. But what I haven't seen yet, and this is my idea, is the use of neutral destructible stuff in the center, that gives a map where at the start the center feels very cramped, but a player with early map control can destroy the buildings and clear it out if they want. Basically what I did in the editor was put down a couple of really basic mains, and in the center I made a big Terran town chalk full of buildings set to neutral, with a watchtower in the middle of it. My thought process is that a player who wants wide open spaces (like Zerg) would want to secure early map control so they could destroy the buildings (like with Zerglings), whereas a player who wants bottlenecks (like Terran) may feel the need to play aggressively in order to protect the neutral buildings in order to make sure they're still there in the mid-game. I'm not advocating stuff like this on every map, but I think it'd be a neat thing to try, and having one map like that would add some diversity to the pool. | ||

I just spent 10 minutes in the editor testing this to see if it works in melee settings and it does.

My map Orbital Decay uses this idea with destructible rocks in the center: Orbital Decay Thread | ||

The entrance to the natural is very long and is surrounded by cliff, I believe this might make it quite difficult a ground army to break a Terran with Siege Tanks along the edges of the cliff as it looks as they are able to hit from the cliff from the main to the cliff on the opposite side making defending the area super Siege Tank friendly as they are able to hit a very very high amount of times. Also, siege tanks up the cliff behind the mineral line of the 3rd(the one with 1 gas and 4 patches) would make destroying a Planetary Fortress even more difficult with Zerg as it is pratically impossible to take out those Siege Tanks without the use of air units or getting into the main. | ||
