Also, if you have custom lighting or have altered the lighting settings at all, have the lighting window open while you export the image.

Thanks for the tip. That is bizarre why that would need to be open while exporting though. Good find.

Another option is to actually set the lighting of your map as your custom one, isn't that hard in the data editor. You have to do it anyway to get the lighting on the map for bnet play

Hmm, I'll look into this. Do I have to save and name a configuration and then call it out in the data editor? Thanks Mashmed.

Don't be so concerned!
- Public vote is important so that the public feel like the ladder pool reflects what they want
- The finalists will of exceptional quality, and any one of them should be balanced and interesting i.e. there is no wrong option
- With 30,000 potential voters, and R1CH on the prowl, I don't think it can be swayed too much by ip resets, friends etc

LOL R1CH on the prowl. I generally am also concerned that the public's opinion might play too much of a role in deciding the winner, but I'm sure it will be fine however it comes out.

This is true, but some of the best BW maps had balance issues, yet produced some of the most exciting games we know and love. Let's not get so focused on balance that we stagnate the metagame and our understanding of it. Continually exploring new map ideas will help expose inherent game balance that should be fixed, independent of map balance.

I welcome the community's input. I do hope they are open to new ideas and a variety of tilesets beyond blue/green though.

If all the voting choices are good maps, which I'm sure they will be, I think it'll be the biggest boost to custom maps to have a community favourite on the ladde. Though there is also a place for cigars-and-brandy-in-the-parlor discussions about what map is really the artifact of highest perfection amongst connoisseurs. In a more hardcore community (a la end of BW) these things would converge. If they do so this time around it will be fortuitous.

The Python or Destination of SC2 might be passed up by a public vote but what we get won't be severely inferior.
Comprehensive strategic intention: DNE

Not just balance but a lot of the maps have fundamental flaws related to how they are built.

Though Plexa's points are good and he's right about all that.

I disagree with Through the Never, Overgrown, and Twilight Depths.
In their place I would have Yuma, Spirit, and Montane.
And if I picked one of my maps, it would be Korhal Brawl.

Great maps as well. I also picked Yuma though.

Not sure why you'd disagree Overgrown. One of the top maps IMO.

Apom is basically correct. I sent the images on October 30, but put off submitting the map files until I felt like it.
And Mereel seems to dislike me for whatever reason.

Nice submissions Johanaz. Just from looking, I actually think you should just remove the gold base on Mud rock. It really isn't very plausible to take in any situation and helps terran more than any other races. You could make it blue, but it is still in a horrible position. I think the 5 bases have a nice layout and the gold could just be remove (and the area around it adjusted to compensate).
