Also, I really don't understand why it's against fixed spawn locations. Isn't the problem with a lot of Blizzard maps the fact that they don't have fixed spawn points so you wind up with close spawns Metal or ST? And who honestly doesn't like Shakuras (the one map with fixed spawns...)?
Maps balanced around not fixing spawns are preferred.

I suppose that if you're creating a new map, then that makes sense. If you can avoid Shattered Temple close spawns all together on your map it's better than having forced spawns preventing it.

But seriously, Blizzard why on earth do close spawns on maps like Temple exist??

They exist because Shattered was poorly designed. When creating a reflection symmetry map the close ground positions are admittedly hard to avoid without skewing the rest of the spawns unless your mains are directly in the corner like Kulas Ravine.

awesome intitiative by blizzard. It's really about time they did something like this, but it's good to know they listen even though it takes a time to get the ball rolling.

I want to participate (and I probably will) but I have a feeling we could just as well say "grats LSprime/Jackyprime" right now...

Wouldn't Tyrador use the same City/Space platform ones as other maps? I think it should be the same as Korhal, as far as curtain goes.

Well if I used the korhal then it will look completly out of place, making really bad looking .
Right now I'm using Agria and Tarsonis LoSB which really looks good.
LoSB touches the gameplay and the aesthetic of the map and I'm sure all player won't have any problem making the difference if they are LoSB or not (are player that dumb?)
In term of aesthetic, I thinks it's better to look better than not looking good. Smoke on grass doesn't really look good.

Oh, I was thinking of Tyrador in the context of city. I think it's labeled as "urban" and in the campaign it is very much a city with much less grass and dirt (much like Metalopalis.) I'll be interested to see a version with more grass and dirt and less city, although I'm not sure how to solve your problem.

Really, though, even Blizzard doesn't stick to the same tileset when it comes to doodads. I think there's a 4v4 map that's Tyrador or Korhal and has Agria Trees, for instance. They always seem to mix it up, and have even used different cliffs than default. Since Tyrador doesn't have any of it's own, I'm sure you're safe to use whatever looks good.
all's fair in love and melodies

Please, for the love of Pete, someone make a non-blue or green map. Let's see some old fashioned badlands/desert/redsand in there. We have enough dark blue maps right now.

Also, thanks and props to Blizzard for initiating this! We love you guys, and hope this happens many times in the future.

Anyone know of a good basic tutorial for the sc2 map editor? Sounds like fun, but no idea where to really get started.

There are a bunch of beginner's tutorials here. SC2Mapster is a great place for tutorials and UMS maps.

Daybreak was created by winpark tho, I think that's a noteworthy map

edit: You should definitely not count out ESV, TPW and LoS, they have some great mapmakers who can produce maps that are on the same level.

I'm really excited to see the maps that come of this. I hope they get good action on battle.net and in tourneys even before the next ladder season.

Quoted because I'd like to know this too.

If possible, I think it would be valuable to send out a reply PM just saying "received" so we can confirm it was entered.

I hope for exciting and cool maps! It is probably even more exciting for me because there is no way I could actually make one of these!

If the PM says sent, then its received. If you're really that paranoid then PM me and I'll check.
