first map? Guardian's Grove 8 base including two golds. it kinda showed the direction of my maps with almost too many features rocked main ramp, (almost) good use of a backdoor nat, gold as third and even a losb-dropzone close to the nat. quite ok visuals using belshir- i had no choice! also ingenious use of straight ramps =)

Guardian's Grove (first published in August 2010 with stupid mineral placement - fun fact: saved that file as ggoverview.png)

Burning Altar (probably my last serious map for competitive play until today, it does not make sense to show any newer experimental maps not even published here)

That awkward moment when I like your first map more than your most recent I just don't like Burning Altar at all because the thirds are really far, the fourths are really far, and the middle of the map is gigantic.

2 years later LSPrime makes Metropolis for the GSL and proves the concept of back to back bases was viable all along.

I think you misread a response of mine. Metalopolis, not Metropolis

Try a new tileset and a new concept maybe.
It's funny; I dream a lot, but I'm not a very good sleeper.

wrl would you care to develop ? Do you mean my art is bad ?

I meant Metropolis from the Code S, not Metalopolis from the ladder.
On Metropolis you can attack the top and bottom mineral lineral with most ranged units, on metalopolis you can only do that with siege tanks (good luck dropping and sieging a tank there btw) and maybe upgraded colossus.

I love Galactic Point, that's just hilarious. I love the first aesthetic shot the most, it's almost like a mapmaking parody.
What if we take all of our horrible first maps and make that into the next MOTM? I reckon I'll lose instantaneously with my microscopic main bases.
