"OMG MY EYES! THEY ARE FEASTING!"
Gorgeous map, It has a swamp vibe which is very different from any other map that I know off. Awesome work. Can't wait to play it.

i would remove the gold entirely. there are enough bases. it would create a nice open area. | ||

1. experimenting with fewer minerals on the map, especially no more gold! instead of the gold base the current version 0.2 has a 6 mineral 1rich vespene geyser. A green omni light signifys the rich gas. 2. few visual tweaks: a bit more color saturation on the fog and a modified Port Zion lighting and (edit: ) detailed texturing of under water lowground. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/253ivl.jpg) | ||

Are those LOS blockers at the bottom of the small sheltered expos (top right and bottom left)? They feel unnecessary. Slash I really like the XNW placement and those LOS blockers in the middle, how if you come from one side you can't see but they can and if you come from the other angle you both can see each other. I think that the pathable water vs. deep water is clear enough, but a non-solid texture underneath it would be nice. | ||

I decided to transform the gold into a 6 mineral 1 high yield gas. This actually also gives some additonal sopace, but the area should be open enough anyway. This change should unfavor Terran to balance things up. On November 18 2011 13:05 heroofcanton wrote: Dude, bro, this map is beautiful. I could give a shit about balance on a map like this. I feel like a lot of ladder maps would be more enjoyable if the looked ~45% this good. Glad you like the visuals. But I think it shpuld actually be pretty balanced by now!

I think that the pathable water vs. deep water is clear enough, but a non-solid texture underneath it would be nice. Texture: the groundfloor texture was changed, too. I forgot to add this and the Overview image does not show the current state. LoSBs: The LoSBs in the centre reflect the way the paths work in this map with the two highround pods (forward thirds). Glad you like it and the opportunities or challenges they pose for the game! The LoSBs at the highrond base were added for different reasons. Gameplaywise they do not have to be there, but I think it is nice to add a bit of insecurity for this fast away single-entrance base, considering a situation were you do not scout/control the area between third, forward third and the highround base. Although I wanted it to feel cut away a bit, separated from the regular flow. Also it could be nice to have a pylon up there or actually drop there and then walk down into third. | ||

changes with v0.2: Destructable rocks on Golds to help Toss in ZvP. Zerg could punish FE with taking quick gold. changes with v0.3: Six mineral one rich geyser instead of high yield bases with rocks. changes with v1.0: A few visuals changes like fewer light emission from decals, fog adjustments, green omni lights on rich geysers, texturing of underwater areas. i consider the map final for the moment and will focus on new projects and hope you guys will have some interesting matches. replays would be really nice! | ||
