![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Rpzws.jpg) - 3 players map - not symetric in any way - Islands - rock blocking gas That covers pretty much all the challenges, right ? Ofc it needs testing to check if it's balanced, rush distances are about the same for every possible spawn (120-130 nat to nat and 165-170 main to main). I tried to balance the obvious advantages for each spawn by other advantages for the opposite side, for example south gold looks easier to defend for south player., so it has rocks, not the north gold. | ||

An example of air blocking terrain is the rock column in this map: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=235805 | ||

I'm not 100% positive, but I think that person said that you would need a trigger to leash the Ultralisk so one can not kite it to the opponents base to wreck havoc on purpose in early game. I could be mistaken though, it's an awesome idea if it can work without triggers. | ||

Otherwise they'd just follow the units until something bites the dust Morrow did this back in beta in one of his maps http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=133238. Apparently he set the Ultralisk to hostile and it worked, so the Ultralisk wasn't following a unit forever but instead he goes back. Btw the no fly zone thing is really interesting imo  | ||

I'm halfway through a 3 player map that is also far from symmetric. Look out for it! | ||

 I have a nice challenge too: Make a map with partial or total intentional positional imbalance. You have to secure that both spawns (or all 3-4) have advantages and disadvantages. One possibility is to have one main have a secondary entrance (NOT blistering sands style) and the other being a sunken main. Let one have an easy second base - the other closer 3rd and 4th. Let one have big vulnerability to air - the other a wider ramp. Or make up your own wierd imbalances. Lets see how mapmakers would tacle that. | ||

2] block paths with low mineral patches instead of rocks. Forces a player to either risk workers by long range mining to clear a path or to stretch out his army to protect those workers. 3] the lava coming up and blocking paths/killing units has already been done outside of campaign, hasn't it? | ||

There must've been a sort of subconscious influence here, because I made a thread for it without actually thinking back to this thread. Still, here it is. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=256111 | ||
