![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/bZWik.jpg) TPW Emerald Jungle by lefix Stats: Published on: EU Playable Size: 158x152 Tileset: Aiur I actually used 100% Aiur textures in this map. But i made a custom lighting for it. This is my 'green' map, I think everyone needs at least one  Close spawns are not allowed on this map, so top vs bottom half of the map. it also uses shifted symmetry (copyright by johanaz) Detail Shots: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Chx81.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zPs0W.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/GRaeo.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qNlvN.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rWyjZ.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/521WU.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/a1fpY.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Hd6AH.jpg) Analyzer: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HpQri.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Tod6M.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/flRkj.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/dINWh.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FIuUp.png) Replays: + Show Spoiler + | ||

 . Aesthetics are really cool, although i would remove those floating banners around the XNWT. If you want to just have a quick look at the map, download the replay, game turned out to be pretty cool. | ||

To be more precise, you have 180 rotational symmetry top/bottom, and 180 rotational symmetry left/right, but not 90 rotational symmetry. The overall effect is that you have a 4 player rotational map that feels slightly different going clockwise or counterclockwise from your spawn location. This style also presents the opportunity to have a mirror symmetry style in the center (or anywhere on the axes I guess). It's a cool style! Shifted symmetry is a cool name too. I also had 3 maps with it before johanaz made void rift. But he can have it cause he's a baller. Lefix, I think you optimized the map within its original intent. I am a little leery of the prevalence of chokepoints at such regular intervals. There's no good spots to "wait for them to try to cross the plains" (as zerg mostly I guess, but also TvP), because you can hug walls and stepping-stone chokepoints quite nicely. I don't think it's imbalanced, but it makes the map very stress-free for protoss if you plan your moves. I'm also a little put off by 16 bases, but maybe I'm just going through a phase where I think that's too much. I wonder if you could try a version that gets rid of the 6 and 12 standard mineral bases, leaving only the gold in the 3 and 9. Other than that it's very nice. I hope you don't take it the wrong way when I say it's a very nice take on the sanctuarium style. Oh and also, I know it's sort of fun that you used stock aiur, only tweaking the lights. But would please consider changing those cliffs? I think they look really misplaced because I identify them with the special purpose they serve in campaign as creep-covered. | ||

I didn´t coin the term "shifted symmetry". It was introduced by Blizzard with Shakuras Plateau. Void Rift is twisted because of how some bases and the central high ground are rotated. Btw. shifted symmetry is ancient, here´s a 800 year old example of shifted rotational symmetry: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9O2NW.jpg) | ||

Looks like there's no way "through" the mineral patches at the 12 and 6 o-clock expansions. That strongly favors terran drop harass, so You might want to look into separating those out. Even the Naturals only have one path through the minerals. | ||
