EPTthe corner expansions look slightly awkward... but i guess they seem alright.
nice route connecting the gold to the 3rd.

That replay was fun. I always get a kick out of seeing my maps being played. I'm assuming you were Protoss. If that's true, congratulations on a job well done. It was a little slow to start, but I think that's the way it goes with macro games sometimes. There were some good fights in there though. I like big army battles. Thanks again for the replay! I like the in-base tower too. It doesn't take a lot of effort to take and it can help spot drops, which I noticed happened in the replay. Since the map is so big, I thought being able to get a lot of vision would be beneficial. I hope I didn't overdo it. I'm using the in-base tower again in Beachy Bungalow, but it's in the natural instead of the main.

Why not, right? Good suggestion. On March 09 2011 09:29 Antares777 wrote: I agree. The worst example would be Agria Valley, where you have to block both the natural and main ramp. Maybe I'll definitely change the ramp then.

Thanks. I don't know the map you referenced but any well known Brood War map reference is always appreciated. The corner expansions were sort of an after-thought. They fit so I went with it. | ||

Is that a horizontal ramp?! That is preferable to vertical (by far) at least. You might want to do some doodad/path blocking so that it's the right size for one forcefield. But if not, I think the 1.5 size ramp on a map this big is okay. Also consider some thingies at the top for ease of walling. | ||

I'll change it to a diagonal ramp. | ||

Size seems perfect as is right now, the layout isn't TOO original but its also very very good, originality often leads to being bad, so I like the layout. Been playing a few games on it and it definitely feels pretty balanced so far. Thanks. I changed the ramps back to the way they were before I made them horizontal. Aside from that, I would say it's time to move on. It's balanced enough as it is, like you said, so I'm finished working on it.

I don't know baller but I read a lot of his quotes from his fan club thread and there are some good ones in there. I would have to say the one about pooping while performing brain surgery was my favorite. Maybe I'll be funny enough to have my own fan club one day. | ||

Now I'm stuck using this crummy laptop to enviously watch you guys make maps. Just my luck, right? There are a lot of cool maps floating around here. Nice! I'm super jealous. EDIT: Consider this thread closed. I'll have to make a new one when I get another computer. | ||
