Looks cool, I just don't like that every expo has the "place base here" feature, would either variate or only give 'm to some. Just a little detail

yea, there are changes to come so i might change that aswell. its like super easy to expand with those decals hehe

the map feels a bit small. maybe because im used to most maps being average 130 rush distance ...

Would you be willing to make these textures available for others to use?

so i noticed in some games that the rush distance nat/nat is actually way too close. I made the map bigger and reshaped the middle and the lowground area infront of the natural and third so it flows better.
I narrowed the middle path so it actually functions the way it should be, as a scouting path and nothing more.

Update:
- added an additional ramp
- mapsize increased from 147x150 to 147x158
- more doodads^^

Cliff texture need the following path: Assets\Textures
Texture 5,6,7 and 8 use the original normal from the braxis alpha texture
Texture 3 use its own normal

glad you went for a bigger size with this in the meantime.

yet i want to re-articulate my concerns over the nat to third. while you changed the mineral line i think they do not flow into each other as they could. part of this issue is that the rocks mainly have to be understood as defensive rocks. the army movement between nat and third and along that the coverage and penetration over the various attack path are crucial in my opinion. I do not have a solution for now, but maybe you could come up with something better.

Looks sweet, is this tileset currently used in SC2? O_o never seen it like this, I think. Really reminds me of the BW space tileset

I like all the changes, It's looking like a fantastic map now. Only thing that bugs me is the mineral block, I think it would be better just using larger destructible debris personally. The shape of the main isn't quite as smooth as it used to be either.

You should post this update on reddit

Once I realized this was a 2p map I immediately saw how great this map is. I hope this gets some serious exposure.

Map is pretty cool, it's hard to hate on it very much. Only thing I'm not 100% sold on are the charcoal-colored areas, they break the Brood War feeling the map previously had.

Just played a mech TvT together with Kollin and I definately want to play it again. What an amazingly designed map and I LOVE the way you've put the LOS blockers at the top of the small ramp to give defenders advantage on those cliffs, why on earth has nobody done that before?

Really great map, thanks for making it! :D

so now that i got into motm this month :D i had the motivation to do a redesign based on my reworked textures that i used on match point.

Changes:
- new design
- middle ramp is changed back
- starting sound now plays properly
- added broodwar music (turn your normal music on and enable the 'ongoing music' option.
- mapsize increased to 18.8mb (lol)
