Aesthetics are fantastic. Circle syndrome is obvious, but with 12 bases it tends not to be a big deal. High-ground pod is a great feature and I'd like more maps to use them. Seriously lacks innovation. That said, it looks so amazing its hard to fault it at all. ^_^ | ||

+ Show Spoiler [relevant picture] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3G92y.jpg) Green cant take the one at his own main because it's too close to the enemy's fifth base and also very out of place. And he cant take the other base either because it's cliffable from the enemy's main. In my opinion this base should be changed. For the rest of the map I think it's quite cool and good looking!  edit: What is up with your German styled names by the way lol | ||

LoS blockers pretty much always zerg favored feature, and this map sure has them. Open, and there is like no wall hugging allowed while pushing. Very many attack paths. 4th base extreamly hard to defend vs zerg. | ||

Other than that I loooove the map. These highgrounds are really amazing and will provide us with an incredible lategame. The aestethics are great too, the combination of lava and orange fog is lovely. I so hope for this getting into the GSL... Oh, btw, why is a korean mapmaker better at making western names than superouman? | ||

I rather like this map as a zerg, because it reverses the somewhat boring routine of "Get as much of an eco advantage as you can, they throw cost-uneffective thigs at your opponent" Here, Z can be cost-effective in engagements, but T and P can expo quite safely. Luv the theme too, but space sharks suck hardcore  | ||

I love maps where there is a weirdly placed base that can and sometimes does mix up the play quite a bit. I think this is one of those bases and could be useful in that way. | ||

Whats the difference between Dual Sight, Belshir Beach, Ohana, Korhal, this map and brazillion others aside of few modifications on high ground, fifth, rock or pathing? Can mapmaker be a lil bit creative in making map? I know maps would be played out different but still Sadly you get a lot of shit if you try. Maps which don´t fit that layout are "bad". | ||

It reminded me of the center base on Daybreak, albeit pushed closer to the center and with wider entrances. As for the aesthetics, i'm curious how you got the "overhang" look on some of these bases at the edge, how did you get the cliff not to go all the way down? Anyhow, I like the base layout and feel like the 3rd may be pretty easy to take as protoss (me) but also think too much LOS blockers. | ||

Stop raging please Aunvilgod, can you quote an example of what you are talking about ?No, those maps aren't the same at all, and yes, those modifications are far enough to make them stand out. As you say yourself, they play out differently. Actually, I don't even see a common point between Belshir Beach and this map. They are 2-spawn rotational symmetry, but then what ? | ||

The center bases on Daybreak aren't cliffable from the main, huge difference. Also for the aesthetics I think he used space stuff so it's like a space background, then put lava on top of it and spammed rocks all over. | ||

If ESV wants to come off as a childish organization that doesn't know when a joke has been beaten into the ground then be my guest and keep the space shark. Map looks great otherwise though. | ||
