My apologies if this question was already answered elsewere, I could not find it in this thread. Edit: We will then hold a public vote and staff vote to determine the best map. Rankings from the public and staff will be combined to determine the top 5 maps. Just saw it on my second read in the original post. However I would still like to know how we will be able to vote and where. Thanks a lot in advance. Great picture of mapmaking by the way. | ||

How: They will provide a selection of maps that they feel have a chance/deserve a place in the top5. That number will probably vary somewhere between 10 and 20^^ Maybe 12 because of the poll limit? Where: Most likely in this thread or a new one. Don't worry, you won't miss it  | ||

I need to give up on Spellbound for this (seriously, that map is getting nowhere) and come up with some new original ideas. I probably will submit Hysteria because it is my most successful and balanced map, but I'm not sure if its aesthetics are "blizzard approved". Perhaps you should redo Hysteria's aesthetics then, to fit Blizzard's ideas. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [arizona] + ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/maps/31_Arizona.jpg) Moral of the story - there are lots of awesome creative concepts from BW maps that haven't been explored yet. | ||

WTF NO GAS! Well, there's reasons some concepts just don't work in SC2 but there definitely is tons more to discover. | ||

I'm not really a desert/wasteland enthusiast but I can give it a shot. Come to think of it the only desert/wasteland map we have in the pool atm is Backwater Gulch, and we never see that in tournaments. | ||

In this map, I'd imagine the fourth bases would let tanks either shoot half of the main or the natural expansion on the other side, or both. The way to circumvent this would be to insert large gaps between the areas but tank range is bigger in SC2 and because of how terrain works, it's harder to space naturally. The list goes on. | ||

(edit: oh lt, but that was removed really early on..) | ||

Will surely fix the ramp, do you have any other ideas on how to improve the map? Best regards... | ||

Well some other quick feedback I can give is: There's a lot of straight terrain which looks kinda boring. Also the passages counter clockwise to the highground thirds are a bit too tight. The 3rds themselfes are kinda akward too. Best thing imo would be to make the 3rds a bit which would also widen the areas around it a tad. Also shorten the highground(?) in the middle 1 bit to make the choke wider. As of now there are just a ton of tiny chokes in the middle of the map. Also if you want to participate in this contest you should make the bases as mentioned in the OP (8:2 normal, 6:2 high yield). | ||
