EPTCool, kinda reminds me of a team play map the way te bases are set up. I assume the gold is meant as an optional risky 3rd, which is a nice addition.

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ouCrQvb.jpg) might be cool.. would help with base spacing. I do like the gold base there, things that encourage army movement away from the center are great, and as someone said it is not super far away so it could be taken as a dangerous 3rd. I would say the most unorthodox thing here that no one has mentioned is the highground next to the nat where the rocks/3rd is, and how wide that entrance is once the rocks are down. Balanced? Idk. Definitely different though. | ||

Definitely different though. It can definitely be utilized as a risky third but I was also thinking about the dynamics of it being a fourth. That is, how it might encourage the four bases to be better than staying on the standard three since you can keep the same amount of workers as a three base situation but transfer some to the gold to push a higher income. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/6fKCPCB.png) Worried about the thirds. Seems it'll be too easy to hit it from behind with siege tanks and such. It's designed for HotS, so the new crap Terrans and Protoss can do with drops aren't a problem, but I can imagine Reapers and tanks especially being problematic. High ground pods aren't droppable. | ||

Name of the map is Terror Forming, water is not pathable, background should be space since it is a space station (but I am too noobish to do that) 14 bases, no gold, no watch towers. ![[image loading]](http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150410/temp/3h3nrneo.png) I was thinking maybe it is a little bit too choked but its already pretty big for a 1vs1 map. I was also thinking about maybe adding gold bases to the 11 / 5 expansions forcing more scouting for ninja expands. | ||

it is a little chokey but not super chokey. What are the playable bounds? | ||

What do you think about the base layout? I was trying to go for something non-standard. | ||

Terrans gonna drop on Third Base and gonna siege main/nat pretty hard behind the safe rocks i think.. They can easily controrl the ramp from there. Why not make the third from highest cliff level to lowest and "invert" all the appropriate ramps from "up to down" to "down to up" , u know? And the ramps in the middle are maybe a little chokey i think | ||

Frostburn 172x164 Overview: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kfeV2Uo.jpg) 90º Overview: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QCoesQn.jpg) Information/Analyzer: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KT3t40U.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xueEBVA.png) Frostburn is my second Starcraft II map and my first 4 player map. I plan to submit it to the TLMC6 once it is done. I am currently in the whiteboxing stage and I woud like some feedback on the layout of level. Do you like it, do you hate it, and most importantly: why is that the case? If you have any tips, criticisms, concerns, or suggestions please let me know. I have some things I'm corcerned about myself and I'm still trying out different things, but I'd like to hear what you think. | ||

Connecting the highground like that changes up the middle of the map a lot. I'll try playing around with that to see what works. | ||
