Nice blue theme with white crystals and concstruction .. some original color and doodad mix I think.
Hopefully, short nat-to-nat distance is less of an issue since in most cases, you wouldn't squeece an army through that centre choke. Or does the choke make the map less favourable for Z? Coz Z has to take the long path in counter-attacks while P and T would enjoy going through the choke?
Might be a minior problem once you got a third and the main paths changes and the gameplay of the map unfolds like a butterfly (?!).
I like the middle high grounds and the many choices of possible 4ths. I dislike the XWT placement just beacuse they are on the high ground and allows siege tanks to park there and dominate the area. I would place them next to the high ground edge (like Crevasse). What's your thought on this?
It's would be very interresting to hear what makes the other ports suck and what you've done differen and bettert (I'm cincere and not sarcastic) ... please elaborate!

the entrance to the natural is actually not that narrow...but if its force the zerg to flank thats ok for me because they have to learn that anyways^^
and just like u said, taken the third open up the map and thats one point i always pay attention to when i make maps.
gosh i have to improve my english^^

What a sexy map. I love it.
|
I'm not sure if it's just me, but I can't read anything you wrote on the ports. Paint has a textbox feature, and i think you should use it.
*edit: better now.
Your port looks awesome though. Definitely better than the other two. imo
|
Gorgeus map! I wanna play it now ;D

I think the mains kinda have to be high ground in sc2 because of warp gates :/
|
pretty good port, though why did you move the super small chokes at the natural?
also yeah the naturals do like slightly closer than they should be; to fix, how about you move the natural chokes a bit "backwards" (protrude those cliffs a little more, but towards the natural; that way the natural to natural distance will be about 5-10 units longer xD)
|
Just a note, in the original, the thirds didn't have any gas

y i know but minerals only dont work in sc2 as far as we know till now

Nice. I <3 seeing bw classics come to sc2. Is there anything you can do about the main entrance to the natural to make that part a lil more interesting like the original?
|
i made the main highground but im not sure about the ramp position:

ahhh why did you remove the small unit choke at the natural?
that choke only allows marines,zealots,lings,probes,SCVs and drones.
if you're gonna port a Blue Storm at least keep the stuff that made the map interesting.
|
dont really like the main with a ramp.
very small choke should remain as without it, it completely breaks the map.
|
You need to bring back the small choke at the natural like MavercK said. I wouldn't worry about warps into the main, but playing it safe is always a good idea, though the ramp needs to be reworked.
|
Yeah, a small choke at nat is a must have or the rush distance for the map will just be too short. You could even remove the choke all together, but that would make this map a turtle fest potentially. Really nice design though, I think the far bases on each side should be gold expos though.

with out the small choke this is no longer blue storm
personally, while i think your map is more aesthetically pleasing i think that the other blue storms were more accurate to the bw version
|
I dont know about previous versions of your map but you gotta keep that small choke on that natural if you want to name that map bluestorm
|
Looks beautiful. A really imaginative remake.
|
Looks cool. But it isn't BlueStorm at all anymore.
|
Looks beautiful. I just think the nat choke should be smaller...
I'm looking forward to playing on this!
|
I like the map , but theres just too much void space.
|
Changes:
- added small choke to natural
- added gold base on highground
- xelnaga placement changed
- main is highground with better ramp position
- more doodads

Rush Distanz (if you don't use that small path)? ^^
|
God I hated this map on brood war lol. But since rallying army is a lot easier I guess it will be much better on sc2.
Great map btw!
