That's right! I am going to make a holiday map and it shall be released Christmas morning!

The map right now is a VARS and everything else you'll find out on Christmas morning, 9 o'clock at the latest. It is the coolest map ever and has the coolest texturing that I have done on any map so far!

Hmm... I might do that... I'm trying to think of how that would affect gameplay... I can probably make a balanced map look somewhat like a Christmas tree.

Please vote on the poll as well.

If you do make it look like a Christmas tree, spawn locations should be bottom left and bottom right (bottom corners of the tree, if you make it triangular-ish) and the top should be a gold expo (star on top). It would be similar to rotating Scrap Station 105 degrees clockwise. Doing Xel-nagas would be interesting, but not sure how they would fit into the design. You could do strips of high/low ground to simulate tinsel or garland, but that would make traversing the map difficult for the players.

An alternative might be to design it as a pair of candy canes that cross somehow. Or perhaps a present (gift) box w/ ribbon, etc?

Good luck, I look forward to seeing/playing this map!

I think if the actual map is designed in the shape of... well I guess anything other than a map it will harm gameplay. Maybe I could put an image of a tree in the center of the map? Think Python, there was a snake in the center of the map. Does anyone know if I can like paste an image onto a map like that from outside the SCII Editor or something? Or do I have to use textures to draw?

Draw it with textures, it's good practice.
