In the overview, this map is hard to look at because of the textures. At first I had no idea what bases were the mains. Other that, it looks very nice aesthetically.

How many creep tumors does it take to connect the main and natural? Looks like two.

Looks really cool. I don't know/care about balance issues, but it looks cool and looks fun to play on

I don't know why one should ever kill those rocks and i also think that this map favors 1 base play way to much.

This map is shiny! I like the attempt at reflection symmetry for a balanced 3p map, its a wild idea.

I applaud your courage ihasakarot. I wanted to do reflection 3p but I wasn't brave enough. I think it's a completely viable style. Hope it works out!

Very nice screenshots btw. =)

Defending my dustin browder award here

Origionally the middle was different, killing the topmiddle rocks provided a shorter attackpath if both players spawned up top. The mid changed but the rocks never went away. Pesky rocks. I kept them around because you can create another attackpath if you are container in the middle.

The other rocks are more for creating a bigger battlefield. Also if you look at the analyzer, killing those rocks will decrease rushdistance from the bottom spawn to the others by a good amount.

For all the other comments:

- I think 2 tumors, didnt check that yet. But I cant imagine it being 1 tumor.
- The map is shiny, its too shiny for an industrial themed map, but hey, cant have it all

- Dont do reflectional symetry on a crappy PC. I made the left-top side, flipped all the doodads and my PC bluescreened

Had to mirror it by hand to not make the thing crash again ...

Im aware its hard to spot. Ingame it's alot easyer, since theres fences and clear pathingblockers in the way of everything.

Thats why the analyzer is handy

its a pain in the ass to make, took me from the time the 3p maps were annouched to 2 days ago ... the pain ... the horror ...

You are a hero. I want to generate discussion but I'm overloaded from finishing mine and looking at all the maps. Will come back soon!

i dunno who suggested 3 spawn maps for #4 but it made you produce this pearl :-)

However, i do think that it should be dirty.. it's too spick and spam in the pictures.
Without blood and guts spilled all over that is... so it should be great in replays...
good luck in motmt4
long live motmt

It is too clean, but I think I will keep working on it when MotM4 is over.

@EatThePath , cant wait for your discussions, helped me on Syrany alot aswell

KAROT, are you married to those wings on the end? I think they stretch out the map too much and create a lot of dead space in the upper left of the map. Maybe this simple crop is a tighter, better layout?

I wouldnt go as far as married

But Its a part of the map I like best aesthetic-wise. I will probably redo the whole map when MotM4 is over. Those parts will then most likely go away. Noted sir

@dimfish - LOL awesome squiggly lines!!! But I see your point.

@ihasaKAROT - Are those garages destructible? please tell me they go boom!!!

btw This is an awesome map, and I really like the texturing of the city. I usually go for a darker over the top blade runner type feel, but I hadnt really thought about it in this way. I think I will be refering back to this map alot in future to get tips on how to better do urban maps of my own, especially the aesthetics.

Great job
