I have finished this map, and worked very hard on it. I wanted to try out a Day & Night Cycle and need people to test it out and leave me some feedback. I am hoping that it is not too laggy, otherwise I will have to change it, but don't have time to test it myself. What it does is that it switches from Day to Night every few minutes. (I'm not sure yet on how the game time is to real time and how the settings work with it), but yeah, bout every few minutes. Ofcourse I can change how frequent it is, so if it needs to be longer or shorter, please lmk. =D Please leave some feedback and help me improve my maps so the community receives what they deserve, better maps. =]

Are the ramps that face north/south at the 3rd really needed?

Maybe not... the other two ramps are big enough. Thanks for that. I did remove them. =D
Any other feedback is appreciated. =]

Updated! Starting to texture and add doodads and such. Check out the Progress section added! =] Hope you like it!
|
Nice idea to add a progress section to the thread. A lot of threads don't do that, but it's a cool idea.
|
Liking the design! But it seems like little room for bancheese/mutas in the back of the main. The rest of the map is looking great!

Thank you. xD Because of that, I increased the bounds a little bit so there is more room to work with. =] Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, it takes a bit of extra work but not too bad. =]

Might look cool but I think the gameplay might be a bit dull. Maybe consider a few things:
-Splitting mineral patches confuses the worker AI. If they're rallied to the top 3 they won't travel to the bottom 3, meaning you have to transfer them manually. -Only 1 gold high yield makes it a HUGE risk/reward game. Basically gaining map control gives you a 95% chance to win rather than 55-60% (just random numbers but you get the point) -Try making 2 high yeild bases, one on the top left and one on the bottom right on the lowground below the middle (which would be smaller) and just put a Zel'Naga tower in the middle. -The area between the 3rd and the 4th bases are too open. Try adding a ramp to a small platform or a gap in the ground maybe.
Good Luck

Lovely lovely feedback. I will take this into consideration and change what needs to be changed. There is no way to argue with what you have stated and helps greatly improve the map. Thank you very much for your time in replying. It helps very much. =]

Update! Sadly, I haven't had much time this past week to work on it, because i'm busy with school and soccer and all that good stuff, but here's what I got so far. And there is a watch tower in the middle, I just forgot to put a red dot on it. =/ Please leave me some more feedback, and I'll continue to work on this until it is completely finished! Thanks. xD

If it were me, I'd switch the gold and the 4th and put a rock there.

Keep doing texture work, this map is looking better and better every time you update it. I am jealous - I cannot make good city textured maps, they are hard!

Thank you. =D Took awhile as well. I like it too.

I would assume no feedback is good. But i'm pretty sure this map isn't perfect...=]
|
Is there anything I need to add? Maybe more doodads..=]
