Can you maybe fix some of the imbalances in that map? A major one is how 11 and 12 share a natural but no other spawn does. | ||

 Your layout is much closer to the original, almost perfect if it was not for the size. The texturing is so oldschool it makes me want to reduce the resolution to 640x480. xD | ||

I thought the entire point of playing BGH was the imbalances Spawning at 11 with an opponent at 12 was always awesome because you knew it would usually be finished with the most effective rush you could muster. BGH would be pretty mundane if it wasn't so imbalanced; when you play on it you always get to think about what you are going to do based on the spawn positions. No two games are ever the same because all the teams/players keep moving around. | ||

but 128x128 is good enough for Benzene/Fighting Spirit but for sc2, that would probably be much bigger than 128x128 http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/maps/407_Benzene image there | ||

Oh and also - What are the zerg imbalances for this map, Siege tanks and pylons sounds great. But is zerg being left in the dark? | ||

Perhaps the biggest drawback is that the rush distances are roughly 25% longer than the original. Maybe something like 165x165 would be better overall. But really, that's the key concept here: overall. As long as we're using the sc2 format with sc2 units and sc2 mechanics, no conversions of this map will ever play quite like the original. There are several sliding scales that are independant of each other but dependant on the map size; the 4-5 I mentioned here are the most important ones. Again: I don't know; maybe 180x180 is a little too big; maybe ~165x165 would be a little better. yeah, in redoing Wuthering Heights I ended up at 152x152. Like you say, there are different scales. I could have gone bigger based on tank range, but it started to make distances too large. Makes BW ports difficult. You probably hit on a good size for BGH. I mean who wants to rush on that map anyway | ||

The standart SC2 maps are in fact bigger than it says on Liquipedia (tried to change it once, didn't work for some reason). Maps like Metalopolis or LT are actually around 140x140 and still don't feel really big. Btw. trying to upload on EU since I just can't find a good version on there. | ||

Two things: 1) Geysers are set to 2500. I believe the original BGH had geysers at 25000 or was it 50k?. I played for like 15 minutes and already one of my geysers were exhausted. EDIT: only top left and top middle have 2500 gas on geysers; the other locations are correct with 50K gas. 2) Tank drops at cliffs: I was only able to tank drop top left 11:00 base's cliff, 9:00's behind the minerals and 6:00's behind the minerals. Are you sure other bases' cliff's are tank droppable. I couldn't get any of the other bases. The original tank drop locations in BW: 1:00 base + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i52.tinypic.com/2ic1un4.jpg) 5:00 base + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i51.tinypic.com/nx0y2a.jpg) 6:00 base + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i56.tinypic.com/2wdsol1.jpg) 7:00 base + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i54.tinypic.com/2i96obc.jpg) 9:00 base + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i53.tinypic.com/2h7jscn.jpg) 11:00 base + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i54.tinypic.com/2nw3bc6.jpg) Also, for those who want to play, add me: DrDISHOOM.137 (NA) | ||

Units feel the right size on this map, but buildings are way too tiny. The mains feel oddly spacious... Also, I can't wall in and abuse the AI Lastly, there are treacherous patches where mules have a chance of getting called down into a trapped position (at the 9 and 11 o'clock mains). You shouldn't fix this imo. | ||

Haha the last part was unexpected, but I guess I can agree with that. Yeah the chokes look a lot bigger But I guess that, if zerg does need their "imbalance" to make up for the pylons, it would be that T and P have to build more to wall off their chokes and that the chokes are bigger (and units clump easier in sc2) so that Zerg can fight in tighter spaces easier . | ||

Unit sizes feeling correct on this map is a HUGE plus, but I really miss my wall-ins... Q_Q. I guess I'll have to try some PF walls or something. | ||

As for melee vs custom, I would 100% say you should make it a "Melee" map. Because of the ridiculous popularity system, it would be unrealistic for it to make it to the front page of the Custom games list (which is absolutely huge). There are only a few team maps in the Melee list, and if you look at the # of games played on the maps in the first page of the melee list, you'll see the numbers are significantly lower than the first page of the Custom games list. I think BGH would have a much easier time reaching the front page and taking off if it were in the Melee games list. Either way, great job! | ||

Dunno about the darkened boarder but what I noticed is that on the top there's not a lot of "empty" space. You could expand the map 1 portion. | ||

I was having the same problem (on the NA server)., but here's what I did: Instead of going to "Find a Custom Match", go to "Create a Custom" instead. There you can use the search bar in the top right. Put in "True Big Game Hunters" and it'll be near the bottom of the list (Alphabetical order). | ||

iGrok's advice is the perfect: open said bratchannels and go do something else... then chat/play if anyone comes in, or set a date to do so... channels must be "hosted", if enough people do it all day long, the pop will reward "naturally" these maps + Show Spoiler + please people, do not "boost", as it'll only encourage people with lousy bugged maps to do the same...and you'll possibly get "noticed" by blizz for doing so (at some point they will act on these practices + Show Spoiler + (this is more likely than them returning us lan) this way is so much better than adding friends (from map threads or other), because many players doing it will work (mapmakers have less time since they map/play/host)... fight the power (blizz pop): host motm and scbw in your own realm/region! + Show Spoiler + i have, before i type this, already opened up motm and sc2bw bratchnnls, littlenemo on eu qbout the map: it's way cool, i'd much rather have it changed introducing no imba start positiions, but that's me... or else make it that players with "highest skill" get the under powered positions..lol | ||

However... it was 4v4 instead of 2v2v2v2. Any way to change that? Also, I'd love to see a normal Hunters version, i.e. regular SC2 minerals and gas @winpark oh my god that's beautiful. How do you download it/is it on NA? | ||

These simple mechanics that should be known are surprisingly not known by everyone. Don't got time for those "fun" custom games that i used to play in BW that's why haha.
