I don't understand only having cross positions, it makes games less interesting. Having close air, close ground and cross positions make it possible to have different strategies depending on the starting position. It's not like any of the maps had serious problems with other positions enabled, other than close ground for shattered temple. The texturing looks fine except for Tal'Darim.

I like all of them but Tal'Darim looks a bit extreme.

I really like the altered aesthetics of the maps, but Lost Temple leaves a lot to be desired. I would even argue that the original Shattered Temple looks better than the ESV version. I would recommend you either texture it a little more, or an even better choice would be to use a different texture set, I recommend the desert oasis tile set personally.

We have heard the feedback everyone and will re do Tal'Darim totally and also look to spruce up ST. Orginally these were to be used in WCG Korea and we had all (iirc) 36 hours notice so I admit we could have done better. Will post updates when we have them.

I'm glad you listen to the community, but I don't think you should have to brake your back for us. You already spoiled us by making retextured maps, and no matter what you do people are going to complain about maps. It's all just a matter of personal taste.

We always aim to make people happy . I also agree with everyone that Tal'Darim needs something new.

It's probably been said, but if it hasn't removing the gold on Shattered Temple is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen from non-Blizzard map-making. "Destroy these rocks to take a base with two less mineral patches than a base that is more tucked away and easier to defend." I think. Unless they made it have equal patches to the back, but its still sort of iffy

8 mineral patches in every base. (:

Thought they were going to say something shocking (in an intelligent way) like "maps recolored so players/casters/refs KNOW when the right or wrong map has been hosted, to avoid issues."

Oh well, still interesting =P

That's actually a REALLY unintended but true scenario. There will be no doubt if it's the right version.

Also I looked at ST, aside for the center, the map looks pretty sick in game. We will spruce that up but the overview really does not do it justice.

When all spawns are forced cross, you know there is something wrong with the game.

Yes, unfortunately.
That is why I make 2 player maps :/
Edit: And do you really need cross positions on tal'darim? Because the close positions are long enough...

I don't really know about other match-ups, but I know that in TvP and TvT especially, if you spawn in "close positions" such that your natural is closer to your opponent than your natural ramp, a smart opponent who sieges up or attacks your natural with Colossi can be extremely difficult to beat (especially since the third is blocked by rocks. I think that of all the maps, Tal'Darim seems to be the one that I don't mind them enforcing spawn positions.

At the same time, I think that enforcing spawns on Metalopolis, Shattered Temple, and Shakuras Plateau is pointless. Close air positions may favor a certain race, but so do cross spawns. I've heard Zergs complain about close air positions in TvZ on Metalopolis or Shakuras, but I have troubles winning cross positions as a Terran player as well. It seems pointless to enforce those positions and will make every single TvT proxy Marauder rushes.

Personally I think it looks pretty interesting. The problem is just the fact that Shattered Temple is a boring map. Lost Temple had too many abusable, gimmicky terrain features, then they made Shattered Temple which was completely and entirely void of them.

Also, just as a note to the map makers, I personally really like the new textures. I really enjoy watching something fresh--it's what makes Brood War great (along with a lot of other things). It's not really new maps, but it will be a pleasant change.

Love all maps but TDA, but that's just the texture, I never liked lava maps.
Don't agree with every forced spawn though.
Etc.

pretty cool, i like the idea of change aesthetics every once and a while, gives the map a new feel while not changing it.

though tal'darim should be all spawns..

its an extra base, no matter the mineral patches, you'll want more. and the gas is important as well

OK, I've got a complaint that's not about cross positions or aesthetics. Why do some of the maps only have 2 spectator slots?
