That Obelisk watchtower looks sick cool ingame. Overall really pleasing aesthetics and very solid layout. Looking forward to seeing matches on this map

The 3 o'clock position actually has a disadvantage. You gather minerals slower than on the other to starting locations cause your mineral patches are a bit further away from your CC/Hatch/Nexus. You can try it by doing exactly the same buildorders with no scout. Watch your timings, your are slower on 3 o'clock.

@Cripp

how far off are these timings?
realistically, unless two players are doing mirror builds, this won't be an issue.

I doubt even if they were doing mirror builds it would be an issue. Its got to be such a minute number, minerals are hardly farther away. Whoever played better would win for sure, it wouldn't be whoever spawned not in the 3oclock position lol.

It's not gamebreaking for sure. Just wanted to point it out. For example: Pylon (9) -> Gate (13) -> Assimilator (15) -> Pylon (16) -> Cybercore (18) -> Zealot (19). At the 3 o'clock position the Zealot is about ~8 seconds later than on the other two locations.

The problem with mineral patches is that they are 1x2 and not 1x1 or 2x2 so the odd positions makes it pretty much impossible to give all starting locations an identical income.

No harm in pointing it out I think and if a small rearrangement of the patches can make it perfect it's cool, but I'm not sure it's actually possible to do anything about it.

Looks awesome. It's great to start seeing some good 3p maps these days. I myself am a symmetry-perfectionist and always use 4p restricted spawns (like Shakuras Plateau ) to simulate a 3p map but this map looks fairly balanced.

It looks like a pretty high-action map with the open third bases... Definitely could encourage some more diverse play. I haven't really seen much on 3p maps yet so I'd love to see games on this map, and see how they turn out.
all's fair in love and melodies

It's funny because we were doing a Koth not too long ago and people were like let's play Xel'naga fortress and I couldn't find it. Now the Koth is over and you get it up!

Argh!!!

Quite the fun map. ^_^
