Out of curiosity, how many submitted maps have destructible rocks in it?

I love this. I do wish the time period was more than 1 month, although that was probably intentional to filter out first-time entries that would likely be bad.

Still, I'll give it a shot.

On a scale from 1-10 how bad is it to not have any doodads or other fancy stuff on your map?

I'm really bad at doodads and I can't seem to find someone to work with.

If you have great texture work doodads are not that important depending on what tileset you are using. But highgrounds and lowground tend to look very stale when you have no doodads there to smoothen the transition. If you have a hard time finding good doodads do what I do, add rocks here and there. If the color of them doesn't match the mountains you can just change it Fairly successful

At least add foliage if you can't put doodads. Also there are certain types of doodads that you can place by painting with the mouse button pressed.

better to be bad than not have any doodads at all. Put a couple doodads in empty areas; just dont spam them, and basically thats it =P

Not bad. If we think your map will play well there is a week where you'll have time to fix these things up.

All these formats... I only know how to make maps lol.. so, I submitted the name of my map with a brief description with hopes of winning.
Check out Khalain Temples 4v4.. Thats the one I submitted..
Then check out Cosmos Kingdoms (4v4) and Alien Desert (2v2). These were the runner ups.
I think I had a better chance with Alien Desert because it's original and unique where-as the others were "safe" standard-ish maps... but still, they are fun lol otherwise i wouldn't have mentioned them.
I really enjoy making maps. Add me, in-game, if you would like help with one of your own or are interested in helping me with one of mine. I don't have all the talent but like i said, I enjoy it and won't won't give up like most "aspiring map creators".

wish i knew how to make maps or were more creative. wonder if slightly modified versions of our BW favorites could ever make it into the ladder one day... we can dream! gogo mapmakers!

I love the ESV TV versions of Katrina and Othello. Such cool maps, I'd love to play on them in ladder.


Unfortunately since they are BW remakes, we will not be submitting them.

I understand, but you're awesome! Keep up the great work! :D

Will we get feedback about what is wrong with our maps?
How do I know if and when my maps had been considered? I check back every day to see if anything has happend, but doing so might be just a waste of time if TL doesnt notifiy the participants.

Please consider letting us know. That would be nice.also, if there is a map with a bridge that can be crossed over and under.. PLEASE let it win!! raise the bar for blizzard!

I doubt that they will give feedback on 151 maps. If so, awesome but that'd be a crazy amound of work. About the bridge thing, that's not possible in SC2.

My post was written above, and it mentions how I failed to provide all the formatting (just don't know anything about that stuff), images and most other things. All I provided was a map name and a description..
Will my map count, I'm sure many people had a problem with this..

Well did you include a link for your mapfile? If not it might have not been considered and you should definitly send that now and hope that they'll take it

If you're not sure about something like that or have questions, you can always PM Plexa I guess^^

Thank you.
I sent a message to plexa about finding the link to the mapfile.. I have no idea what that even is, or where.
I'm glad the team liquid set this contest up. I think it's a bummer that the users aren't the ones making all of the maps for blizzard.

You dont 'find' a link to the map file... you upload your map somewhere (like mediafire, as suggested) so we can download it.

would be cool to have these "Image adding" forum options within the PM screen.

Might seem small for a 4v4 but it makes for a great fast paced challenging game. Most people who have participated had no complaints.

The name of my map is Khalain Temples in appreciation for the lore of the protoss religion.

I provided 2 links of each hoping to guarantee a successful link

(natural to natural: 35 secs)

Let me know what you think.
