One of the most beautiful maps I've ever seen. Hands down.

Balance wise:

Will be interesting to see how the low-ground by main pans out, and how accessible the third is. It seems highly succesibtible to circle syndrome, and the by-main "fourth" base is pretty useless imo.

The aesthetics kinda remind me of Blizzard DotA, especially the checkerboard pattern.

Played the map, it plays out pretty standard, very easy to hold 3 base. The "middle" base is relatively close by too, so it would be a good place for a terran PF I feel. Overall thumbs up

This looks awesome, but I would still encourage you to add some variation in the texturing outside the chess board. Outside of the center the aesthetic touches look too far apart from each other (as in it is too plain between them).

I'm definitely going to be giving this a play.

Type virtual, and it comes out.
If you type the whole thing, it doesn't come out for some reason

It's in the melee section.

Well it's still WIP, but I'm not sure which textures fit the virtual theme. I really can't find ones that fit

After 1.5, even on editor I can't get over low settings.

You can see the parts on the other side, it's perfectly symmetrical.

Which part of the map is not used? I tried my best to be as space efficient as possible while having original ideas.

This is perhaps the coolest-looking map ever. Too bad taking a third base is literally impossible.

Seriously people. Knock it off.

Impossible for Terran. You can't move tanks that far back and forth between your natural and any of the potential third bases. In case you didn't know, tanks take a bit longer to reposition than zerglings...

I think perhaps you've been spoiled into easy 3rd bases. How would you position your tanks, for instance, on Daybreak? Tal'Darim Altar? Thirds aren't free, a handful of tanks shouldn't be able to effortlessly secure them. Oh, and sieged tanks are terrible against zerglings anyway.

Haha, I vetoed Taldarim ever since I switched from random and Daybreak is the shittiest map in the pool for TvT and TvZ until / unless you get 4 bases.

Why does the entire TL mapping community think the game is balanced around tanks and sentries not existing?

ZvZ is the worst matchup to watch and play, that is the only reason I don't play Zerg. Your theory on map design where Terran is forced to make 90% marines is basically the same thing. Whoever loses a clump first loses.

Maps that box you into 1 composition are bad. That is why TvP is a bad matchup. Terran, for all intents and purposes, is forced to play essentially 1 build with 1 army composition that only varies slightly. It is bad game design. Tvp is my best matchup, I am not whining about balance, only the poor design that you play the matchup robotically.

Thirds that make you autolose if you make tanks are the same damn thing. You have defenders DISadvantage.

I think the third on this map is fine, not any harder than Korhal Compound or Daybreak. This map is very beautiful also.

That is why Korhal is not in the pool anymore. Daybreak's redeeming featrue is that the speed of Zerg units can be dealt with if you can ever take a 4th. Both are terrible
