The designation of "Baskerville" is brought from BBC SHERLOCK
I'm never confident that I write correct grammer...

If you want it to look natural, replace it with this: The name "Baskerville" is from the BBC Sherlock series Nice map though. I love the Main-nat-3rd layout, along with the choices of 4ths based on spawn position. The middle is open enough that I feel pretty comfrotable engaging in a lot of places as a zerg player. EDIT: You korean map makers should get an english editor for your posts. Not that people mind your phrasing (like I said, it's pretty entertaining in a good way), but if you want it to be amazing, I'm sure a lot of people around here wouldn't mind helping you make up a perfect post in english before you post it. It's up to you guys though. | ||

EDIT: To clarify, I think this map doesn't really know what it wants to be. It doesn't have any direction, nor does it promote innovation, plus the tileset is a commonly used one that is hard to distinguish. | ||

While this leans a little towards the "easy third" side of things, I really like it! The distances might be adjusted a little here and there but for now it looks just about right so the 3rd isn't too far forward but definitely feels a little out there, but fine for the anticlockwise player. This reminds me of some of the more interesting 4p maps from long ago during motm with forward 3rd designs. Something that should definitely be revisited more often. | ||

Although nothing terribly new, this still appears to be a map where good games undoubtedly will take place on terrain well 'groomed'. | ||

Do i have to be the one to start the damn movement to force cross spawns on all 4p maps? Im lost how this just isn't standard yet. They are all pretty much instantly better and more balanced once this change is applied to them (take antiga for instance, still terrible but much better).

Although nothing terribly new, this still appears to be a map where good games undoubtedly will take place on terrain well 'groomed'. Do you think balance is the only thing that a map needs? Why not just put two starting points back to back then? Balance is just the foundation to a good map. Any map can be balanced through a series of adjustments, Blizzard just sucks at it. The community doesn't. A good map also includes a concept, innovation, uniqueness in my opinion. Forcing cross spawns makes a 4p map play like a badly designed 2 player map. If anything, 4p maps should be forced close and designed to play that way. | ||

As i have posted in your duo map post about forced cross spawns i am going to favour that thread for any further discussion on this topic as there is another also weighing in his opinion. Unless Ovalient responds to me in particular in this thread... | ||

I understand if you don't want to argue with me (because you know I'm right!) but it kinda ticks me off the the way you handled it. | ||

This would be cool but you'd have to really wrench things around to make the righthand 4th close enough. Otherwise you have the clockwise player taking a full 3rd away from the opponent, while the other player has to take a 3/4 base, or expand towards the enemy, or reeeeally far away. | ||
