FEATURES

WIP more resource map (12m3g) following Barrin's current standard: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=325430

So I saw Barrin's post earlier today and I immediately was struck by the amazing possiblities of his vision on the nature of mapmaking, I started working and the result is this map.

If the map is bad it is entirely a consequence of my lack of mapping skill and should not not reflect on the validity of MRB

the middle of the map is really open so that there is more room for your army and there are more rocks than usual because of all that extra firepower you will have and to make it more balanced.

I am a bit concerned about the strength of protoss FE, but the backdoor rocks should make this strategy a bit weaker

this map is completely serious

please post you feedback, comments, and suggestions!

Even though this is a bit of a Aprils fool thread you could definitely turn this into a cool map by adding thirds to the 6/12 spots and obviously turning this into the standard 8m2g

In other words you should try turning this into a real map =)

I love lava maps, I agree that its a pretty obvious troll, but this could be great if you put the same effort you used for the troll into making this a real map. Make it happen.

Now this is far more of a sophisticated troll. I like it and I will remember it, particularly since it gives a whole new meaning to "2base deathball">

@lost_artz, CaptainCrush: + Show Spoiler +

The map is an old (real) map that I abandoned a while ago because it was bad, I just quick converted it to 12m when I saw Barrin's post. I may eventually try to work it into something better though.

I like how taking your sixth gas (in the natural) helps to create a defensive wall -- a true innovation.
