EPTI have to agree with tofu. If you don't want to counter broodlords then you'll lose no matter the map.

Otherwise great work with this map and keep it up, i hope to see some tournaments or ladders using iccup maps. enjoy  Thanks for the replays I enjoyed them | ||

I like your style and love you for your drone split advice.^^ But, is it only me or are the colors or the darkness of the map (enigma) exhausting for the eyes while watching? | ||

Eh, you're expanding towards your opponent in a horizontal spawn. Unless there's some exception to the spawns like on shakuras. That's basically the only thing I dislike about this map; the rotational symmetry, makes for some unnecessary imbalance, I might be biased towards it though as I dislike it anyways :S. Also I know that the symmetry of maps is a very hot topic and I'm no expert on this, just my personal opinion. | ||

Longer rush distances are a great way to start games to be more macro style. Im pokerfacing this ![[image loading]](http://theonceandfuturecoffeeaddict.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/pokerface.jpg) Im on my ipad so my typing sucks, forgive me...Sorry for not being specific, but I meant you can barely hit the brood lords. you can somewhat delay carriers by killing their interceptors, but if you spawn in positions like 11 vs 6, the Zerg can just move his BLs up from his natural and behind your high yield, somewhat risk free isn't it?Stalkers can't get in a good position or sometimes even in range to shoot them. From my exp, most people just get blink stalkers against brood lords. only the high yield in metalopolis is reachable by brood lords, as your third and fourth isn't exposed like that. Not to mention, it's still possible to kill brood lords behind the high yield, if you go to the corresponding high yield. Difficult yes, but still possible. Also, does everyone go void rays against brood lords? Yeah, they work, but this map forces you to do it. Not to mention, if Zerg just mixes in 4 corruptors and puts 3 brood lords before the expansion, it's technically going to shutdown phoenixes, and void rays to an extent. In BW, the distances were mostly moderate, you could choose to be aggressive or passive, but in this map if you spawn cross positions, all early game mechanics are shut down. It's more risky for Protoss to move out JUST to apply pressure, and if you're not careful and 12 mutalisks fly in, it would take forever to retreat from the middle of the map. Honest you're a great mapmaker, I'm not trying to rant you, as all your other maps are well made. Corruptors would stop your void rays as there is no stalker support, but stalkers can't shoot. Before a battle after you moved away from the expo, just morph them into brood lords... | ||

Air-to-air units COUNTER Broodlords. This is why you were laughed at. Could a Zerg assemble a force of BL/Corrupters that you couldn't fight off with a ground army? Not really... if hes 200/200 into that and you're 200/200 into VRs or Viks, you win, unless he has only a handful of BLs and in that case, just go kill his whole fuckin base. | ||

My point being, not even half the pro toss gets void rays or Phoenix against brood lords | ||
