Golds in the location Sea_Food suggested, every middle base gold, island bases. I would take anything to not make this a 5base turtle map ^^

Wowwwwww. A map where you can easily get 5 bases. Intresting to see how this plays out.
Stop browsing and do whatever it is you're supposed to do. TL will still be here when you get back

Not yet, but I'm not sure it's something we really need right now. Terminus is the only thing that comes close- and the turtling isn't great. Maybe you could make it easier to harass on this map?

Like a low cliff at the natural, a highground cliff at the third, main minerals facing backwards, etc.

ooohh.. interesting map. good thing there is no close spawns. this is a for-sure macro map.

this would be better off as a 2v2 map, imo. just that its TOO easy for people to take bases safely.

Remember when Terminus came out and watching both players 3base before any real attacks was like... never before seen? I think that might be the point of this map and its 5 bases.

That said, I really like the idea of mineral lines in the main with their back to middle. Close air would be very twitchy and cross positions would make the middle more relevant because it watches the fastest air route to main harass.

This thread should have an [M] in the title, but I'm not sure how I should put it there and keep the team tag intact. The other mapmaking teams put the tagafter the (2)

like this:

[M] (2) TPW Artifice

but that doesn't really look right for this map

[M] (2) Crux Plains of Despair

What about this?:

[M] Crux (2) Plains of Despair

[M] needs to be first thing :o

I'll just do "[M] Crux (2) Plains of Despair" unless you wanna give me a different way of doing it.

Sorry!

Finally a more zerg-friendly map. Good work!
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

To be honest (I can't tell if this is sarcasm), but I think it is much better for Terran and Protoss than for Zerg since they can take 5 bases extremely easy unlike most other maps.

I like the map, especially the new changes.

The 4 bases in the middle seem really open, i do not think we will see them uses very often, besides that, nice work

This might sound extremely extreme, but is it possible to make an ramp that leads up to the main from the middle and is blocked by invulnerable rocks, and the rocks will explode/be killable at a certain time, to make the map SLIGHTLY less of a 5 base turtle fest. Just some ideas >.>
