I would have to re-do it all, and that'll take so long  Good maps take a long time to be created. Cause it's only after playing multiple games on it when most flaws in the map will be revealed. I really think this map should be made smaller. People are asking for bigger maps because of Blizzard's tendency to create smaller maps. But most mappers today are making the maps too big, this will make games boring, zero out the chance for a player to be aggressive early in the game and will make battles less decisive. There's a golden path in between that we must walk, just as SC1 mappers once did in order to be succesful. Anyway, there's no limit of time to creating a good map. I often feel satisfied with a lay-out and have it textured only to hate some parts of the map after. | ||

... just because they want cool maps and too much "guidelines" (per month or not) might impair creativity +1 "beauty effects" = can't wait, will check back when you post "graphics update" i agree that if the layout is unsatisfying = never any graphics will make up for it i meant that i'd love it if mapmakers did update "thoughts" on what they will be doing on that front "thinking of a LT type" or other (showcasing detail graphics work in progress pictures would be awesome teasing) | ||

Other than that, the second version is a much better improvement from the first, and I look forward to seeing it textured!  | ||

What just came to mind is I could connect those islands to the main, and block them with destructible rocks so they aren't so "easily taken." Similar to delta quadrant. | ||

Similar to delta quadrant. That is a good solution, but if you do that, the natural choke is going to have to be widened to make if more difficult to defend. | ||

It was a terran-favored map because of high ground and narrow chokes, so these changes were fixed to give zerg a more balanced advantage vs any race. The map is updated to 2.0, any comments or feedback is greatly appreciated! | ||

I think your main issue is space layout. It looks like Zerg would have a very hard time getting full surrounds anywhere except the outside natural, especially around the 3rds and center. Because of small spaces and the free backdoor expo, games are going to become turtle-friendly. I suggest reworking the center to allow more room, which could mean remaking the map again... If so, I suggest moving the mains into the corners more. Keep the natural and backdoor nat the same, but position them to fit into map bounds (and removing wasted space). This will give you room to adequately open up the center. Nice job overall though! | ||
