Post your first SC2 map (or the oldest one that you have) and your latest one (most recent). Let's compare and contrast how far each map-maker has gotten individually! I will start. First Map Released: November 8, 2010 + Show Spoiler [Ashir Dulan] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nPkCk.jpg) Made completely without a 90-degree top-down view (I used angled view), without grid, without pathing, and without copying and pasting. Latest Map Released: February 17, 2012 + Show Spoiler [Newest Map: Ohana LE] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FyMgv.jpg) | ||

Looks beautiful  | ||

You've come a long way, good sir. tyty I think the funniest bit is how the third, or the nat, or whatever the hell it was(I had no map coordination whatsoever then), was pretty much the same size. Of course, through test games I've found how I was doing things wrong, and not just with that map. I have technically made 1 map before that, but there were so many basic features in the editor I just wasn't aware of, so I don't think my ability as a mapper, nonexistent as it was, could have any chance of coming into focus. I've kept every map I've ever made, and these early ones are fun to look at. I get to see what I was thinking 8 months ago, and I get to laugh at myself. Of course, you may or may not notice that the main in my latest map isn't exactly normal, either. But really, being able to laugh at yourself is the best thing you can do. | ||

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. ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/maps/528_Metropolis_thumbnail.jpg) | ||

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. | ||

We've come a long way since the release of SC2 and it should come as no surprise that tournaments are starting to recognize and spotlight many of our maps. This is something we should be very proud of as a community. But we can't stop here, we still have hundreds of maps to make for HotS and LotV! Oh indeed Personally, I'm really excited for the new tilesets they're releasing, they all look really really cool. I'm kinda thinking about an Ice/Lava theme map, sorta like Dual Sight. Oh, and the restructible rocks, or whatever the hell they're doing, should be interesting too :p | ||
