You shoul've used Tambora in the Map of The Month Tournament I'm still changing slight details at Tambora but there will be a MotM #2 ^^ On January 09 2011 17:55 TheMonkeyMon wrote: One quick question: What are the chances that we'll see these maps on the NA server? I love playing on new maps, and yours look beautiful. I'm currently slightly updating a bunch of those maps and gonna search for people to upload those once they reach a version i don't gonna change anymore.

Why dont you guys here making maps go together and try to write a letter or two to Blizzard or Gom.tv (GSL) suggesting some of the maps you have made here on teamliquid.net. I think it would be really cool since GSL recently announced (well kind of) through NsP.Genius that they will remove some maps until the next GSL and they obviously want to fill those spots with some other maps and maybe even add a couple more even. Gj so far I think the iCCup ap makers should lead us in this "charge" ^^ | ||

Gj so far GSL, according to GosuGamers, just released the pool of maps from which they'll be selecting the maps to replace those they recently removed. They can be found here. However, I find that many of Dezi's maps would be in close contention with these aforementioned maps! Give it a shot, Dezi! | ||

I think that going to iCCup would be the best and easiest way to do this, because they are well known and represent a lot of the mapmaking community here. I know that they do not represent all of the TL mapmaking community, but I think it would make it easier. | ||

Thats why I said "you guys here on tl.net" and that includes all guys and the iCCup team as TL.net is quite acknowledged by atleast GOM.tv that holds the GSL (Seeing Junkka posting here as to who we want as foreigner in their teamhouse for Code A). So yes I think you should get together and post on their forums or PM or whatever, just to get contact with them. And the time is quite now since they are gonna remove some maps for the next GSL as said before. I think it would be cool if you did since alot of these maps you guys make on TL is awesome. | ||

I do not like the location of the XWTs. They are too easy to mass units at in their current location. | ||

I like how that even though there is high ground outside the natural, but it is still hard to put a contain on the defending player because of the path into the third that is on the same ground. This is a really good feature to have on a map. The low ground in the middle of the map would only receive attention in cross spawns I think, which isn't a bad thing. Aesthetics are really good and get across the demolished wasteland environment of the map. I do not like the location of the XWTs. They are too easy to mass units at in their current location. Im also not that satisfied about the but i currently don't know a better alternative. | ||

I think the best that your going to get it is to have at least one side of the XWT up against something, i.e., the raised ground near the middle? You could move them right up to that, and it would help a little bit. | ||

One point i am curious about: air-distance to gold seems shorter in horizontal movement, while walking distance seems closer in vertical movement >> for fourth and gold it seems to be unclear which of them is an expansion for player1 and which belongs to player2. nothing really wrong with it, just an observation. i am unsure if protoss might be underpowered on this map. no real chokes anywhere. only opportunity might be the highround at centre with blink/cliffwalking, but then there is the extra higground ontop that will be unwalkable I guess. probably you want to add two expansions on central cliff at the positions where you now have the extra cliff level. you will have to expend the cliff a bit towards third(?) creating a choke on lowground there. nothing really important or helpfull, just some ideas... | ||

About Verdun: - I would just remove the watchtowers if you feel they serve no layout relevant prupose anymore. - If you spawn clockwise of your opponent, theres just those small ramps connecting your third. With new the passage to the third the counter clockwise spawning player has more room. One player can actually move an army to his third while the other is very truncated. I think you should widen the ramps to the clockwise thirds. cheers, madsquare. | ||

Gonna check how the map feels with those additional expos. Map will also be choked up due to doodads and i maybe gonna add small terrain obstacles if needed. //EDIT Verdun with the changes suggested (no towers, double wide ramps to clockwise 3rds). ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/oJ7DK.jpg) + Show Spoiler [Details pictures] + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/rBSjM.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/4CIjD.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/FmdZb.jpg) What do you think? Tiara 002 with the ideas from Samro. The rush distance decreased from 174 to 162 (136 to nat). XWTs watch rocks - don't watch the pure HY anymore but this base nearby purely. Don't what i should about this. On the one side it creates now chokes but it feels akward somehow. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/CLaV9.jpg) On the left side you see the old concept of the mid. | ||
