Black Line = Line of Sight Blocker I don't see any black lines. Are there LoS blockers I am not seeing? Otherwise, I have no real complaints about the layout... P.S. With all those gold rocks down below, I expected more gold expansions.  | ||

Nope, there are none yet, I will be adding them soon. =] And yeah, if there were the map wouldn't be as balanced. xD Thanks for the feedback!

All you need to do is add the textures and doodads. :D Well thank you!! I will be working on that when i can, but school is starting soon so I'm not sure when I'll be able to finish it. But it'll happen. =] Thanks for the feedback! | ||

I dislike the idea of being forced to take the gold as a fourth, or fifth. I like the entire design however. Yeah, me as well, but if I move the mains further apart, the rush distances would be tooooo long. Right now they are basically perfect, because they aren't too far where protoss would have an advantage of proxy and not too close where zerg cannot respond. Although I could make the map wider without change the position of the mains, but then I think it would be too wide because the center is the main part of the map, and only place you can reach your opponents main by ground. And with how it is now, I am not sure where I'd be able to add another expo. Thanks for the feedback! It really does help alot! =DD On August 31 2010 14:45 Umbra wrote: My only concern with this map is for a fast expanding Zerg. The position of the main is a far distance from the main ramp and natural expo, so a zerg may have trouble spreading creep down to the natural fast enough to deal with early harass, especially from Terran. It could take 3 or 4 tumors to extend the creep down to the expansion fast enough which would make it hard to position spine crawlers and move queens between bases without getting sniped. Other than this potential zerg imbalance, the map looks pretty good ![[image loading]](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k170/aaimister/Screenshot2010-08-3111_11_40.jpg) hope that helps. =D Its only 2 tumors to get down the ramp. Ofcourse the first you have to wait for it to reach to pretty much the end, but it can be difficult I guess... Thanks for the feedback! Its much appreciated. =] | ||

Lol, yeah that would be an idea... Maybe my next map I'll just make a cool map like that to just mess around on. But nonono, that will be unpathable. The only things that can go up there will be like flying things. No cliff walking or jumping or dropping on that cliff. =] Hopefully that makes it even better. =D Thanks for the feedback! | ||

Or you could post map analyzer pics! *wink* | ||

Its much appreciated. =] Thanks for the pic. And yea it might just be a problem for a zerg who opts for tumors over the first few larva spits to extend the creep more rapidly. If you didnt wait for creep to expand, it may take one extra tumor. Great map overall, hope I get to play it on the Aus server | ||

Could use 1 more expansion for each player though or at least 1 contested one. | ||

If it doesn't look right after I doodad and texture the map, and if makes people lagg, then I'll change it. But for now, it does look very stupid. It'll come together tho. =] And I agree. I just don't know where to fit them in. =/ On September 01 2010 14:17 Thoreezhea wrote: the outer edges look retardedd, full of minerals and shit... ugh. From the top down view, yes. I'd agree it looks retarded. But after I'm done with texturing and all that it should look much more natural and cool. =] On September 01 2010 12:46 Umbra wrote: Thanks for the pic.
