EPTI would love to see this used in tournaments, if for no other reason than because, visually, it is unlike any other map. Great work!

EDIT: Also this map looks like it will favour the 2011 Terran strategies again, which I like. Too many macrogames makes Jack a dull boy. | ||

 My main reservation with the map is due to how far the third is away from the main, as it can be so easily killed in ZvP quick three base situations. I do think the ramp leading to the third could be shortened more, but that's my only real problem with the map. | ||

Each player has 4.5 clear bases, and the ground distance between bases gets larger as each expansion is taken. The 5th bases aren't very ambiguous, either. | ||

Not exactly a balance concern, as a lot of maps only have 5 bases per player anyway. But the fact that there are six bases per player and you can only really take 5 unless you are already ahead is kinda frowned upon on these forums. I don't think it's as hard as people think to take those bases later in the game, though. I think when we've seen situations like that, in actual games, the bases are taken more often then you would think. It's not exactly a comfortable base, you have to fight for it, and it puts you close an opposing base so one or the other might get killed off pretty easily, but it's not actually all that bad when it comes down to it. When you force players to take those difficult bases (at least pros) they end up managing pretty well. If it comes to 6 base, though, the distance could have an effect on balance, being kinda bad for Zerg. But I think by that late in the game that doesn't apply so much, as BLs actually like short distances. Zerg doesn't really need to be ahead in bases at that point, either. | ||

The 5th bases aren't very ambiguous, either. the 4th and 5th are definitely the problem. they are very hard to defend. 4th is very wide open and has terrain disadvantage vs attacker. 5th is basically on the enemy's back door, unless you expand cw to the super far base.

Hope the map doesn't feel too cramped. it will probably play out like daybreak in early game, but positioning of 4th/5th, i dont know how far games will get past that point. will reserve judgement until first games i see ... | ||

a) It's another blink stalker map, no one wants to see that crap. b) The 4th really is a problem. 1 large attack route that cuts off reinforcements from the main/nat/3rd, and 2 medium sized attack routes, 1 that comes off of a highground. It would make more sense if attackers had to come UP a ramp from the lowground, since then it would be 2 good attack paths and 1 bad attack path rather than 3 good attack paths which is probably too many. I think if they fixed those 2 really-easy-to-fix issues this map would be amazing. It's already a good map, but this is the GSL, it needs to be better. On the positive side, I do love the airspace; I think we've gotten way too used to maps that have almost none, as if that's how it always should be. If there's more than a little airpsace then we cry "imbalanced". Why? What's wrong with a map that promotes a little air play? I also like the space between the nat and the 3rd; it should make for some interesting situations. | ||

Circle syndrome leads to base races, circle syndrome leads to counter attacks, circle syndrome leads to forcing players to spread their army out thinly to defend all their bases. I would go so far to say that circle syndrome is a good thing that generates exciting and tense games where expansions are constantly taken and constantly denied. Circle syndrome accomplishes two things: A: It allows expansions to easily be snuck in and hard to be scouted. B: It allows expansions to be easily sniped if you are out of position. It in every way rewards map awareness and I feel circle syndrome is therefore a good thing, not a bad thing. And honestly, maps which are noted for their lack of circle syndrome, Shakuras, Metropolis, Ohana, Terminus (even though the bases are in a circle). Basically barely saw any epic games compared to Dual Sight, Antiga, TDA. a) It's another blink stalker map, no one wants to see that crap. Are you serious? I was under the impression that everyone wanted to see blink stalker harass? What do you want to see then from Protoss honestly? | ||
