The other reason why they're limited resources is because they are all very close to the center of the map, which means they will be contested bases, and assuming they are full bases, those are huge losses for every one that is destroyed. I didn't want to reward players by having a dominant position, but I also didn't want to punish them if they were to lose that base relatively easily because of how close it is to the center of the map. | ||

Oh, okay. Thanks for explaining. I like it so far. My idea of a mineral only third is probably good for ladder (where terrans struggle), but bad for professional play. I'd still like to see it at some point just for variety, I think it wouldn't change things too much. Anyway, sorry to stray from the topic. I enjoy the layout of the bases and the progression into the late game for expansions. I am worried about Blink/Obs being too strong here, though. It's a lot like Shakuras Plateau or Antiga in that way, but possibly even stronger. | ||

I can happily conclude that the bridges made this map 10x more fun :D After a few games in the korean weekly, those bridges are not only useful, but they create such a good dynamic to the overall flow of the game and it was really enjoyable to see them utilized  | ||

I actually did attempt it at first but it got jacked up so I just went with the standard. | ||

TvZ: 5-6 (45.5%) ZvP: 4-5 (44.4%) PvT: 3-9 (25%) T > Z > P I will be paying close attention to further testing to define what may be causing protoss players to lose an edge on this map. Although the stats are incredibly young and can change at any time, further changes can be issued if they are really needed. *Please note that the third is not too open for protoss, and thus is not the prime issue because that only applies to ZvP and Protoss is in favor of that matchup. They are losing to terrans. A lot. This is what I am going to look for, so please keep "the thirds are too open" comments out. | ||

Are those stats including the weekly and gp, or are they 9-3 for TvP in 12 solely korean pro matches? For PvT this is basically antiga but worse for the first 3 bases, from the protoss perspective. Reason being, a distraction in the main with pressure at the 3rd is a lot easier to maneuver for the terran because they can come and go so freely outside all angles at the 3rd. Do you know if most of these games have been colossus, or twilight? I think the stats would even out quite a bit once protoss got some experience. They have to learn the exploits terran can use on the map and prepare against them properly once they are established. The open ground beyond the natural really looks like charge archon storm upgrades is much better than colossus unless you are doing the 2base timing, but it is somewhat less comfortable for most protoss in an unfamiliar environment. (A hypothesis.) | ||
