I agree. Anything that is a four player map regardless of the type of symmetry is hard to make original. 1v1 maps are much easier to make original.

Metalopolis was one of my favorite maps to play on and I'm sure that this one will be just as fun, if not better!

Rotational symmetry 4p maps are quite a bit easier to make symmetrical as you've got a little bit more space to work with. Often in reflection designs, you'll have to put half of a single element right on the axis of symmetry (for example, the high ground expansions around the middle on this map). I think there's simply less possible permutations and combinations that you could get out of reflection symmetry desgins, but discovering one that is good, unique and then turning that into a playable map is a challenge in itself

Amazingly beautiful map, as always. Very cool how the style is similar to how Blizzard would make a map but done so much more intelligently. Can't wait to try it out!

Based on feeback from tonight's IMS, third expansions (the one up against the main) have been reduced to 750 minerals per patch and 1250 gas per geyser. This is to emphasize expanding to more vulnerable locations rather than turtling.

Map will be published on other servers soon!

Awesome map, but i noticed you said there's 12 blue expansions with 2 gas, but i only see 10 (4 main bases, 4 expo's and 2 middle bases inbetween 12-3 and 6-9). A small error or am i being blind like usual? ^^

Small error 8) Thanks for pointing this out!

Here's a link to Lizzuma (T) vs NrGdde (P) from yesterday's IMS!
Pretty sick game. Some small mistakes from both players, but showcases the map's features well and is pretty intense throughout.
