well i could mess around with the mains and make them temple cliffs/textures, and leave everything else the way it is. That might make it look better. It would be really hard to re-texturize the corner bases and 9/3 o'clock bases, since they are on high ground but also have 2 distinct texture sets.

Okay, how's this? I changed the mains to temple cliffs/grounds, giving a distinct differerence between the mains, golds, and all the other textures and terrain.

How wide should the choke into the natural be? From what I hear, it should be, at the minimum, big enough to wall off with 3 rax correct?

Like the warm lighting. The new texture makes it even easier to understand at-a-glance, too.

Hey guys, been running numerous tests on this map for the last few days and so far everything has turned out wonderful! Lots of great games were being played, and a lot of 3-4 base playstyles as well. No real feedback has been given so it looks like them stands as is until some major feedback comes in. Hope you guys enjoy

Hey guys I had to update the overview and the before/after pictures because photobucket ran out of bandwidth on me, so I had to re-upload it for the sake of anyone else who happens to try and take a peak at it in the future but can't. I've decided to not re-take the expansion/aesthetic pics though... too much work.

Just published as 1.3. I fixed the lighting and made it more normal instead of greenish.

Hi everyone, I just want to let you all know I am working ok Scars of Aiur once again and am making some balance changes - and I hope that the map will be more fun to play on. I am going to fix the third and add some extra destructible rocks to make the center (or forward 3rds) less open that will help terran and protoss players in the early-mid game. I am also going to re-work the lighting since it is rather dark and dense, as well as re-texturing the main bases since they look very messy. I will post all changes and new screenshots when I am finished.

Excited to hear this, mostly because this map is what inspired me to go into mapping and so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll do with the map.

From only the pictures, this looks like a really good map to me. I love the pathways that could lead to some creative play. I wish I could play right now (supposed to be writing a thesis... ugh...) to test this map out.

Great work, and I can't wait to see the modifications you make.

Reaper play looks incredibly weak on this map.

Yeah that's actually a good point. Reaperscouts seems rly shitty on this map cos only way you can go into the main is right next to the main ramp where the enemy has his units anyway and it also seems like you can't cliffjump from the backdoor of the nat so you have to go through the nat choke to scout an expo or something like that.

I wish you'd make cliffjumping from the backdoor into nat possible and also add an alternative reaper path into the main.

Being able to reaper scout is important, taking it away just makes gameplay more restricted and also random (lack of information)

Don't be surprised if reaper play becomes more viable in the updated version. I have to work with the thirds in the corners more, then I should be done with the revised, newly updated Scars of Aiur.


Finished:

• Polished the textures
• Re-worked the middle expansions (pushed them back farther into the mains)
• Enlarged the pillars near the golds to reduce openness
• The golds themselves were changed to open, regular bases
• Took out rain, wind, and thunder effects (can cause lag)
• Reduced the choke sizes in all bases except mains (also to help reduce openness)

Not Finished:

• Revamping the corner 3rd bases

ETC (estimated time to completion): 2-5 days
