big problem ist probably not the narrowness but the length of pathes. they are some kind of super long chokes. better fix that.
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.

I don't care about nukes going off and nobody can tell if it's even a good map cause of lack of full map picture.

That´s a bit troll´ish, and btw there is a full map picture, it´s just on page 2. Read before you post.
First I made a pretty map, then I posted it here to get advice about how to improve balance and gameplay.

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.

I really like what you've done with this map! There are problems, sure, but aesthetically at least, it looks stunning.

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. =)

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.

You might want to search for an Ice Tile set to make the map more varied texture wise. But good looking terrain nonetheless.

How did you get that nice fog effect, anyway, though. It doesn't really matter if I do anything with the fog doodads in editor, they do nothing, even with graphics turned to Ultra and/or with game settings locked.

I have renamed the map Misty Mountain, thus avoiding sacriledge against the holy BW original map. I have done a lot of changes after all the feedback.

The fog effect was initially done by acidragoon over at SCMapster on the map The Sky

It´s simple though:

Aiur tileset:

Fog color: white (255,255,255)
Fog density: 1
Fog distance falloff: 1
Fog distance far: 0.2
Fog distance near: 0.2
Fog falloff: 0.19
Fog starting height: -10
Hide lowest level: Enabled (probably the lowest cliff)

Then I have added water (modified to white - 255,255,255) in order to get white background on the minimap.

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.

good idea, looks great but the layout needs work imo, if you could make a more standard looking map (less narrow pathways, more defined expos) Then that would be neat.

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)

Is it perhaps possible to make some flying objects? like some eagles moving around the map, or a hoverin zeppelin?

Perhaps a mountain cabin with some mountaingoats up away in the mist!

Give link to the map asap!

I finally played a few games on this! Thanks for getting it to NA server. The issue with the layout has been discussed already by samro. It definitely feels awkward to play on. I'm not categorically against nonstandard layouts, but it seems aimlessly awkward. That said...

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.
