Interesting, I'm curious as to what the best method for implementing these would be. I can't imagine having both high yield minerals and gas at 1 expo, or maybe it would work as it would be a much higher priority target. | ||

The more I think about it, the more angry I get at the way SC2 was balanced, the balancing was all done in alpha/beta with the same maps we see now! That means that a new map thrown in the pool that is too big might throw off the careful balance blizzard has been working towards. VERY INTERESTING INDEED. | ||

Does this mean the overall game balance is decided by how big or small a map is? That seems rediculous to me that SC2's balance is based on the maps. If more big maps are introduced into the ladder pool, will blizzard have to tweak the way zergs macro works? Will they keep it the same and figure a few small maps in the pool will balance that out?

That's what happens when you balance the game off a small selection of (also small) maps. But as pointed out earlier, T/P econ builds havn't really been explored much as the timing pushes are much more effective. | ||

We are talking about the very fundamentals of the game. This is something that was screwed up by blizzard and it cant be changed to easily. It would require another beta and all that things. That is the reason why SC2 is the way it is. Maybe it will be changed with HotS but I wouldnt bet on it. I dont see it as too problematic however. There have been several good games, and there is a distance (its pretty close to meta cross pos) that you can hit to make cheese less attractive but possible. I think we are actually fine concerning maps and rush distance with what the TL community has produced. The problem are blizz maps like jungle basin, steppes, Delta quadrant that have insanly short distances. These can be dealt with however - by replacing them with better suited maps. cheers, madsquare. | ||

One thing to consider is the supply ratio of works to army will be an important strategic decision to make. It seems many players in SC2 think that no amount of workers is too many, but I think larger maps will help us to understand where this balance may lie. | ||
