also i do not see a reason to use the outer pathes. which expansion is meant to be the natural? better make the chokes less long, add an expansion at each long outer path and add some space at centre. | ||

Me too, I was like "yeah sweet I'm gonna play bifrost again". But it looks really interesting so I might try it. The search function for maps is acting up atm tho. | ||

If you still need someone to host this map on the NA server, I'd be more than happy to do so. I have all my map slots free. PM me if you wanna take me up on the offer. =) | ||

Btw big fan of Guardians Grove. once you have started with an aesthetic idea it is quite often a long process until things will work well for gameplay, too. once you fixed the "long choke" problem and add some space for zerg to have fun this map has the potential to have some solid gameplay I guess. and it looks much more interesting than many maps. | ||

No idea how that happened. Maybe I wrote then cam back hours later. More importantly it's trollish to have a map thread and not have any meaningful pics till second page. You were trying to get people to focus on looks a bit much. Back to the map. Open back entrance is bad. If you look at good competitive maps there's about twice the amount of moving room. | ||

GAAAAH I [nearly] jizzed in my pants when I saw someone had port'd Bitfrost, that the inspiration for my AKA would be re-releasable on the throngs of SC2 uncultured, philistine ignorants. Then I saw it had meerly been plagarized. Thank God for the "All" button, it spared hellfire and brimstone from bothering to destroy this thread. As I am still recovering from the shock, I do whole-heartedly respect the OP's decision to prevent the unstoppable storm by renaming his version, and if only he would pay SC2 hommage to its predecessor my nerd heart would be warmed even more than when NaDa won the 2006 OSL (ok well maybe not but you get the point, TY) | ||

The looks are smashing! As a proof of concept, it is a great success. (Btw the white minimap maneuver is awesome.) Anyone who plays it will immediately be wow'd. One issue is vision mechanic without cliffs. I think it's fine without, but it'd be cool to find a way to incorporate it, just to know you can if you want. | ||
