It looks like reapers and blink stalkers would be increeeeeeeeedibly powerful here due to the amount of cliff space by your main and nat, maybe it's just me. I think just the opposite. its low ground between the main and nat so its still makes blink stalkers/reapers able to be used effectively but any defending unit can shoot down after them or prevent attacking units below. Great idea to the mapper. Just a possible fairly large layout suggestion (tho i haven't seen the new "big" changes yet) when it comes to only having one path to the main/nat. Why not bring the 4th and 5th closer to the center. bring the 4th right in behind the 3rd still keeping the small hole gap and make the distance short from nat to 4th so there is the possibly of going around through the 4th to the nat. If you bring the 5th in closer too - have some backdoor rocks to the mains so that your 5th could also be your opponents 2nd nat if it were. If be happy to give a sketch if my decription isn't too clear. | ||

Can anyone tell me how to take high-res overview screenshots without all the doodads and such showing from the editor? In the editor, go to lighting, then choose game/ not editor view. Or also press V or click "lock game view setting". | ||

IMO the XNT may be easy to hold.. but it's extremely out of your opponent's way and is pretty important where it is to detect air avoiding the middle.

The tower too easy to for your opponent to grab from you but that may just be me. Not sure what the gully from the main to your opponents 5th is for. | ||

Block the middle of the 3rd? ie blocking the CC location? Just trying to clarify Ya sorry - you got the idea. As far as the new xwt tower, i meant it too hard to hold and too easy to take your opponents imo. I agree with you that the actual towers are in the perfect position (DON"T MOVE) but its more so the land around it that concerns me. I don't agree with antares that they should cover more of the main path; there's only one large short main path that you will be watching anyways. The towers do indeed need to cover the other bases and back paths like you intended. | ||

I understand what you mean and do agree with making the 5th a possible expansion for your opponent. However, I like to think of your opponent taking that expo like you taking your semi-island expo on scrap station: it's far and out of the way, not very easy to defend by ground (distance) but in heavy air builds it becomes much more powerful. I put a back door into my main on Uplands and the overall reaction was poor. | ||
