![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/sgsatfc.jpg) The upper left side has a lot more of choke points than the botton right, and also high ground behind the mineral lines, maybe this can force players from different races to expand in opposite directions. I'm considering in making the 6 o'clock low ground expo a more open, maybe no obstacle between it and the bridge. This would highlight the differrence in taking this 3rd as zerg and not the other, that would be better for protoss or terran. Any suggestions. | ||

You have to be careful about terran floating when you have a gold close to the main. IMO just make the main gold, though. | ||

That sounds very interesting, maybe even remove the whole 3v3 aspect and just make it a 1v2 map, with vast advantages for the 1 player like having some or all of the main minerals as gold and having much easier expansions, it still might be very hard to balance it out, but would be very interesting. The 3v3 format does help it so that you don't have to have ridiculous advantages for the 1 player, but both should make for cool games. | ||

@mosk with the 2v1 vs 2v1 map, that seems horrible in a lot of situations. For example, if a 2v1 spawns as triple zerg, that single player is just done for, there's nothing they can do. They should have collapsible rocks on their ramp, and an in-base expansion, minimum. Maybe even a gold base. Interesting concept, but I'd also point out that 2v1 dynamics happen in 3v3 anyway. If the idea is that people use air units to harass or lend some weight in a fight, that is a normal thing for how 3v3 games go so it's kind of weird to enforce it so strictly. But of course it would be different like this, and I'd love to see how it works if you can iron out obvious problems in the various 2v1 scenarios. | ||

Not sure the main entrance needs to be weird with a hole but eh, the rush distance is long enough for it to be okay imo. I like how the inside nat is very vulnerable and the outside nat is very doable but neither feels like a "free base" due to the cliff and air vulnerabilities. The main entrance is basically one of those things I just do for no particular reason, haha. Might change it to one entrance if enough people dislike it. | ||

I don't dislike it, just not convinced it's necessary. Although having a bit more vulnerability with an inbase exp might be good. | ||

Why do you do things for no particular reason? You should do things that make sense and have been thought through. If you don't have a good reason to do it, then why are you doing it? | ||

Doing stuff for the hell of it is a world all its own sometimes. | ||

To be fair, though, I'm not sure if it's possible to make worse competitive maps than the folks at Blizzard. It's a historical weakness of theirs, stretching back well before SC2.  | ||

That, and your argument sorta boiled down to he's just not a good mapmaker. True or not, at that point you just leave it be. It's weird, and kinda douchey, to argue that someone's a bad mapmaker, when you can just give advice instead. | ||

It's weird, and kinda douchey, to argue that someone's a bad mapmaker, when you can just give advice instead. AKA, at least you have to say why so that people can learn, and if you can't say why then you don't have a point. (This is meant from the point of view of discussion, not ad hominem.) Re: the main entrance, it makes some sense as an extra vulnerability for a map with an in-base expansion that also offers highground covering part of the main entrance, but it causes problems in certain cases like ZvZ where you can't block "the ramp" with 2 queens anymore, stuff like that. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wfLIFwl.jpg) 144x144 Been trying to make a layout like this work for a while off and on, and on these bounds. It could use a bit more airspace ofc. Should I make the middle bases gold? | ||
