Can you wall off in time to defend a 6 pool?

Looks too easy to split the map. The overall design doesn't really feel that interesting either.

Forgot to add the rocks on the nat, I made the mains a bit smaller and didn't carry the thirds over.

What would it be like if I removed the spaceship-looking crevasse in the middle and just left that pod wide open?

I like the second one better. First one seems too much like Coda, and while Coda's a good map, I prefer a bit of variety. Also less room for Reaper harass pleases me

Version B imo. Also I think you should make the space in front of the natural wider, right now it's pretty narrow

I like B better but the map is too small for the layout, needs more space in the center basically, so yeah, go with A for this one.

I'd remove a base and adjust the map accordingly regardless of which you choose. It feels too crowded with the map being sort of small, and 12 bases is totally OK.

^Remove 2 of the central 4 bases, and make the remaining two gold.

Here is the map I am working on right now. I wanted some critique. No doodad work yet but the aesthetics direction is there. Any feedback would be appreciated.

@Caviar: The map looks nice, but it has two pretty common problems. The main looks too easy to abuse with blink and four bases looks overly trivial. The rest of the design is good, except I'd make sure that the other three bases in the corner aren't too isolated and close to each other.

I plan on adding some doodads to that area outside the main to block off the majority of blink area from the low ground. The back lift area is big enough to blink two in at a time from lowest ground to main. I dont want to eliminate small blink play but I dont want an entire army to blink up.

I see what your saying about 4 bases being too easy. I have similar concerns.


I played a couple games on a slightly earlier version and it was difficult to get the 3rd but once you got it the 4th was easy.
There is certainly a theme as far as expansions go. The 3rd is hard, 4th easy, 5th hard, 6th easy. I like it theoretically as a characteristic of the map but it may not play out that way. Im going to do some more play tests later and see how things workout.

Thanks for the feedback!

@caviar: The 4th bases are arranged so that there's not a good use of space, and the land bridge below the forward 3rd mineral cliff is awkwardly narrow. I think this map would benefit from shifted symmetry arrangement on a larger rectangular size in order to give more pathways in the center and some better options for 4th+ bases.

Hi, this is my second somewhat serious map. I would like to get some feedback on the layout and distances. Textures and doodads are NOT final, I am still working on those. The theme is an oil field with an old abandoned mining facility:
[image loading]

The third base is supposed to give you some strategic options. If your opponent takes his third at the south-west you can take your third at the south-west too for a more aggressive game or decide to take your third at the north-east for a more passive game. The two thirds also have different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to defending an attack.

@SwedenTheKid: I feel like all of the bases are too close together and the center is really distant from everything (and boring).

@RoomOfMush: I'm having trouble seeing the map. Bigger picture please?
