Here's another suggestion on where to move them: the 12 and 6 o'clock positions in the "V" of the high ground cliffs that are in front of the thirds (on the ground, like inside the "V"). You can put the XWTs right up next to that, and then surround it with LoSBs. This would probably require the squares to be made part of the normal ground. Again, just a suggestion. For aesthetics, this will definitely get a 10/10, no question about it. Seriously, this map is beautiful. <3 ...just seriously debated not participating in MotM 2... | ||

I'm still concerned about the XWTs, and now my previous suggestion on where to move them doesn't even seem to make sense to me :S. Where they are now they can have units masses. Usually, you don't want that, especially two on one map that are rather close together.

Ok, I´ll take another look at those towers | ||

XWT need a purpose to exist. At the moment they don't have a purpose. There are a few options though: - They can be used to keep an eye on expansions (i.e. the golds, so you'd move them to the V close to the golds, or 12 and 6 where you'd put them on the high ground over looking the expansion) - They can be used to keep an eye on army position (i.e. to avoid being flanked, so you'd position them more towards to center or even on the highground in the center so you can see a lot of army movement) I wouldn't put them anywhere else tbh as their strategic importance would be minimal. | ||

- moved Watchtowers to 12 & 6 o´clock overlooking 3rd. -made space between main & gold pathable (LoS refuge). - rebuilt high ground above 3rd. - enlarged mains. I think this may be pretty well balanced now  Now it time for some real testing Published on EU (v.12) - please send replays to sc2johanaz (at) gmail (dot) com | ||

The LoSB refuges by the golds are a great addition, and the better XWT placement will make this map really good for gameplay. Unfortunately, I don't have an EU account. | ||

They spawned 8 o´clock and 4 o´clock. The terran commented that the map favors camping too much, as he could just siege up the XWT high ground between bases and thus cover both main, nat & gold, however the protoss did some mistakes, like engaging with colossi against 4 vikings and such. Players suggestions was: 1. Make the map a little bigger. 2. Make the lighting less dark. 3. Move XWTs. I´d like you to check out the replay and give me some feedback.

Layout is very standard. 3 units to patches. Maybe it´s because the main is smallish and the start location is a bit closer to the ramp than normal. By the way, I need to come up with a better name. Temple of Thunder is just too damn tacky. /Edit: Suggested new XWT placement: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/6kbZ2.jpg) | ||

I played a game on metalopolis right after playing your map and the difference was pretty obvious, at least to me /shrug | ||
