Some of the maps seem like they would have some tough close positions. I don't think there is any prevention regarding the spawn locations unfortunately... | ||

The ramp is too far away. The destructible rocks in the natural are useless, it's not a bad idea but the choke is too big it makes no difference with or without the rocks. The middle is probably too open, you can't get out of your base against zerg (assuming you didn't exploit the short rush distances to cheese them to death early on). Searing Crater I kinda like the reaper stairway at the back of the main and the DR at the 3rd, but that ridge in the natural is just ugly and plain stupid. Antiga Shipyard Seems ok Abyssal Caverns I like the colors used, not the lack of doodads. Does Blizzard have a time limit to make each map, like 15 minutes per map ? Still it looks like a good map for the general idea, I kinda like it, except for that : ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rYHR1.jpg) cheapest way to secure 5 bases ever XD | ||

Nezarim Crypt. It's, okay, but not great. I may like it, but for now, not really. Antiga Shipyard: I actually haven't played a straight up macro game here, but it is a fun map. This is the one that I cant really complain about. Searing Crater: I hate this map. The natural is retarded and the giant wall preventing movement along with 3 potential openings to the nat makes it rather hard to FE at all, but I guess not all maps are designed for that. Also, the distance between ramps of vertical position naturals is literally a gold base. | ||

So you think we'll be allowed to make shitty imba maps in the future, too? they might have poor aesthetics, but if players adept to them and accept them and blizzards balances the game around them, then we as mapmakers will have alot more possibilities soon  Or did i just not get the irony?  | ||

Don't know if I will like or hate Nerazim Crypt as I just got steamrolled by a Marauder Rush from a Diamond player having his Season 3 placement match against me poor Silver leaguer... :-( | ||

I've concluded so far that you can FFE on upper left and bottom right spawn of Antiga Shipyard, you can do a wall off similar to Tal'Darim Altar on Nerazim Crypt(you don't even have to kill anything either, just destroy the rocks when you want to leave). Finally, theres Abyssal Caverns. You can also doa full wall off like Tal'Darim with forge, cyber, and gateway. Searing may have something to it, but the second opening at your natural is just screwing it all up. | ||

But in a 5 base situation, I'm assuming 2rax and 2 tanks would go down in under 3.5 seconds. | ||

I'll wait and see how it plays, did't test it yet, I had only 2 games on Nerazim on ladder and none on the other maps. | ||

That area just seems weird, the choke is too small for a center attack path in the middle of the map, that "2 separated sides" watchtower favors ranged units over melee units, and I think it favors heavily terrans in TvZ. Usually zergs can control XNT more often than terran and see big pushes coming, here terran will take vision on the center more easily, forcing zerg to avoid that area and run on much longer distances, with kinda negate the zerg advantage of faster units. I'll wait and see how it plays, did't test it yet, I had only 2 games on Nerazim on ladder and none on the other maps. Just to help you with the mental side of the battle: Terran doesn't have infinite units. Terran doesn't have infinite money. If he holes up in the center, you can win by simply going around. Truth is, I can't imagine any Terran player deciding to leave his tanks sieged so far away from a base. Even leaving an early game marine there would make Terran feel very insecure. | ||

This comment would be even more justified if Blizz actually replaced it with some decent maps instead of that pile of bs they dropped on us. | ||

Even good maps have to go sometime. This comment would be even more justified if Blizz actually replaced it with some decent maps instead of that pile of bs they dropped on us. I guess it's because there aren't new good maps coming in order to replace them. But i agree with you, one year is more than enough. I would also say that it's time to get XNC to retire. | ||
