Well, the aesthetics all seem less impressive now that I've seen the HotS stuff.. Can't wait until the mappers can start using all that awesome stuff.
Great map, though. Gameplay wise, it should play pretty well.
|
So pretty!
Will we be seeing this in the GSL?
|
Why this map do not downodload on EU server? This map greate!)

interesting! the base layout reminds me of Bel'Shir Beach, but the center is totally different.
|
Great theme and incredibly detailed texture work! I love how you altered the textures around the base to make the resources feel more natural. At the moment, very few can rival your skill.
Can we expect a version on EU any time soon? It always sad when you find a map on TL and it's not published
|
LSPrime please upload this map on EU. This map Beautiful.
|
Why a such small main? There isn't even a lot of space in the natural to compensate.
You should move the 3rd like on the picture, at this moment, even if it's overall tight around the area, the expand is quite far away. + Show Spoiler +
The middle is good because even if it's tight, there is a lot of paths to flank. Players should play with their brain and not just 1a from one angle, i hope they will learn it more thanks to this map. I also try to incorporate this kind of middle in my recent maps.
The expansion layout might be too linear (a bit like on Daybreak)
Great job with the deco, back in the beta i tried to make a flying island but it's so bad compared to this . I also like the use of Overgrown style protoss tiles. And for the name, you should try "Sky Island", "Isle in the sky" isn't very beautiful and there are too many words :/
Oh and what happened to jacky? I don't see any maps from him for a long time
|
Oh god, this is sooo beautiful. Reminds me a little bit of Daybreak but... (don't let my absolutly not-nerdy girlfriend ever read this) I want to marry somewhere on this map.
|
wow your so talented. im jelly
|
I like this map because of all of the attack options and chokes. It makes you want to think before attacking a location. I can see a lot of thought went into this one, and the map came out great. I look forward to getting a few games on this myself, and I hope to see it in the GSL. If there is any way to increase the size of the main without harming the other features of the map, go for it.

It reminds of crossfire, in a good way.
|
So pretty and so standard. I love it
|
exeONEmaxi // Wait! i'll upload soon! Superouman // under consideration
and thx everyone!
|
LSPrime and Team Crux's works are awesome, simple, highly polished yet distinctive. Great job, hope to see it in the GSL soon.
|
holy shit is this gonna be a GSL map? ITS SO FUCKING AWESOME
|
Yay I'm quoted!
Awesome map btw, rename to Skysle or Skyland to make it sound more epic!
+ Show Spoiler +I did not check the balance yet. May do so later on 
|
Wow this is probably the best looking map since bel'shir beach! The whole floating island a la Pandora Hallelujah Mountains is extremely beautiful how is the balance has anyone played it yet?
|
I do not really enjoy its current name, maybe something else would sound better?
-Aurora -Misty Rainforest -Cloud Forest -???
I just feel that Isle in the Sky is long and a little bit unoriginal.
|
I would go with something like
Hanging Gardens Sky Sanctuary Risa (Star Trek refference) Heaven Temple Sky Retreat Safe Heaven Sky Shrine ...
I'll stop here
|
Garden of the Heavens?
Name seems long.

Eden Prime :p

Yes indeed. That's a huge improvement over the current name, because a) it's short, b) associated with gardens, and is also a cool reference.
|
"Isle in the Sky"(천공의 섬) is most likely a reference to "Castle in the Sky" (천공의 성).

Played a TvT on this map with a practice partner. We're both Master on NA and both... Platinum... on KR. ._. I don't know how it happened ok thanks
In addition to being super cool, the map is pretty and seems balanced. I wonder if the high-ground natural makes it too easy to expand, but at the same time, I do like fast expands.
I like the spiral-expanding layout, where you expand sort of away from your opponent if you go clockwise. This is a 2-spawn map that in a way, feels like a 4 spawn map. The xel naga towers and elevation changes in the midfield make the play tactical and make tank pushes stronger but also more dangerous if you're near a high ground.
The fact that the towers are on low-ground areas NEAR high-ground areas makes things interesting, and causes some tower-hugging with tank armies. Due to the broad and numerous ramps into the later expansions, the fact that they're on the high ground isn't an imbalancing factor.
Overall, I have no major criticism of this map. It's tactically very fun and makes for interesting, bracing TvTs with its many ground routes and complicated elevation changes.
I kind of wish I had a zerg or protoss partner on KR, so all I can comment on is TvT.
Good luck!

I am as well hoping for an EU upload

I like the name Isle in the Sky. :<

Castle in the Sky is such an awesome movie, I think it's cool having a map that's name reminds me of it. That being said, I also really like the name Hanging Gardens.
Regardless of the name, I really want to play on this map, please upload to NA! (Also, I feel like getting a third on this map would be super difficult vZ, so I'm not sure I like that aspect of the map, but I haven't play it yet...)
|
Looks amazing, so pretty! I can't wait to try it out! Extremely high level map design.
|
What about "Some Made Up Island Inside Starcraft That Appears To Float In The Air"?
What's wrong with Isle in the sky? It's exactly what it is...
|
when you publish this map on the EU servers?
|
^^^ and NA! pls love all these maps, can't play them T_T
|
At the time I didn't realize how good this is, but now I think this is my favorite map by you LS! Hope it's still considered for GSL. There's nothing rly fancy about it but overall it looks interesting and solid
