Yeah, we are definitely on the same page. Because you can't mine from depleted geysers in SC2, we are also skeptical. However, since the BW ported maps had mineral-only expos, we would like to test them that way in SC2 until they are ruled out completely. | ||

Still, great that there's such an awesome mapping team in existence though. Nice looking maps. =) Edit: Grand Line looks very interesting. Looks to be rotated along the vertical axis and mirrored along the horizontal axis? I did that with one of my 4 player maps once, took a lot of work getting the terrain right, but it didn't turn out quite as well as Grand Line, good job. | ||

The only problem is that with such a big team there is a very small chance that iccup gonna use non iccup map maker maps.

Grand Line is just a port but i don't like the reworked textures. They were fine like neo made them. The steal doesn't fit to the center area. | ||

The only problem is that with such a big team there is a very small chance that iccup gonna use non iccup map maker maps. like dezi I do not think that a big team means less competition concerning maps and quality. a problem I see is that bigger teams often have to take more time to test, communicate and discuss. this is a bonus as well as a malus. but this is kind of their decision, isn't it? regarding the competition between two teams, sure this kind of "entertainment" is gone, but when there is only one quasi-monopoly all other individual mappers have better chances to stand out for themselves. there is ICCupMaps as some kind of institution and then there are independent designer. sure ICCupMapping Team has the best opportunities regarding testing, playtime, coverage, but as an independant designer you are better of with one big team than five teams I guess. in my opinion this development is great, because the more non-blizzard maps get good coverage, the more interest will be generated for custom melee maps . the only reason to complain is when you had hopes to get in one of the teams and now you won't be picked. if people who organize tourneys decided only to play the team's maps it would soon the same boring stuff like it is with blizzard's maps. we need a bigger mappool! (edit) it was only a matter of time until a number of mappers constitute to such a factory team to deliver wel made maps for competitive play.still I would prefer a sticky thread with featured maps like "top 5 maps of october on teamliquid" or a pool of maps created by the community to help organizers find maps instead of using the ICCup factory team's map each and every time. although i consider most of them really well thought out and nice thinks will wear and lack freshness with some time. | ||

Here's what I found: (neobowman and monitor already have links to their threads on the first post) Grebliv's Map Thread Byzantium (SCBW Port) by G_Wen Gold Typhoon by FiveAlarm Twin Mesas by FiveAlarm Temperate Tussle by FiveAlarm Probably not all of their work, but it's what I found with a quick search on the forums. What happened to UsedMan? Pretty sure he was in the original post. | ||

Pretty sure UsedMan went on to play halo reach or something  , what I heard anyways. | ||

Could use other structures keep in mind that rocks also have 3 armor as opposed to all other structures 1. So using rocks makes zerglings and other low damage units not really that great especially if they ahve a high rate of fire like marines. | ||

That seems like a good idea, were you thinking a garage or is there something else? edit: prodiG, you should probably add iCCup Heartbreak Ridge to OP | ||
