Why this map's version LE is.

Because I post on PlayXP.

And First version had too much Frame Drop.

And I made Low Edition version, i post on TL.


Do you have any pretty pictures from the original version or are the aesthetics still pretty much the same?

i think some other map makers made a map with similar style layout it turned into allot of 2 base all-in plays, how do you think this map differs?

Ya, it's almost the exact same layout as Daybreak with different proportions.

That said, it's an amazing improvement. I really hope this goes to ladder.

Yes, that is the probably best comparison. It might also have heavy circle syndrome.

Except that you can realistically expand down either side from either spawn, depending on race/preferences. This could create some interesting tensions over the 4th base

I am close to a 100% sure pros will just expand linear. But we might see.

Very pretty map, love it a lot. Usually when a map has the middle mains, the corner expos behind the mains become very underused. Not the case here. I can see them coming into great use.


I played it on the Kr server, the rush distance is quite short.

This is how people will expand:

Corner expansions are kinda neutral, yet so close to either expansion pattern that they are quite awkward for both sides to take.

Since I played and obbed on this map, let me say that people especially terrans in TvZ expand to the central expo as their third while being agressive. The conventional third is actually more difficult to secure than people think, that's the reason why people take the central expansion, I think.

Oh yeah, that's obviously another expansion pattern you could use. I was just trying to point out that the sixth are neutral-ish.

really? with the main/nat setup, id expect them to be quite long...

nvm, relooked at the map, didnt see the smaller ramp that leads to the middle.

Exceptionally well conceived map, it's exactly the type of map I like too. The aesthetics are just out of this world to boot, with some really classic sci-fi visuals. It does seem like a ton of doodads though, interested to see how it runs.

The proportions seem particularly good to me, and I enjoy small features like the "backdoor" path into the third. The distances between bases and possible expansion patterns reminds me of Cloud Kingdom, and this map reveals the same solidity in its initial base layout. The middle is much different, and even though it's reminiscent of Daybreak, it should play out rather differently, not in the least due to the watchtower placement. It encourages far more aggression throughout all stages of the game. Honestly, I feel the middle map is just about flawless.

I can't think of a more promising map in recent memory - I'm excited to play on this map and to see it really stress tested. I reckon and hope this map has a bright future.

EDIT: Actually, the one thing I can fault is the name: "Abyssal City" is a little underwhelming and doesn't quite roll of the tongue. I don't know if that's still subject to change though.
They're coming to get you, Barbara.

What a beauty! CruX maps never cease to amaze me!
Too bad it's not on EU T–T, but from what I can see on the overview it looks really solid.

This map looks absolutely amazing. I could put it up on NA if you'd like, I really want to play on it!
