who cares about balance at this point? We need more maps like this. Its important to the scene. If race X doesn't like it they can just veto it.

With that kind of logic, we would still have Steepes of War on the ladder.

I want this on ladder. Players can adapt to any seeming initial imbalances. Too many of the same boring maps (i.e. all of them) that do not promote progression.

Would be cool to have an images album that shows all the changes you have made to this map ... i remember you changed it a lot in the past asd.

Here's a few different pictures. I'm sure if you really want me to I could go into all my old saves and take more screenshots, otherwise it's kind of a cool little evolution of Habitation Station.

Evolution of Habitation Station:
+ Show Spoiler +

Just 1/2 the map, before ever mirroring it.

Mirrored it, added bases at 12 & 6, created middle, added watchtowers.

Removed top rocks, removed 6 oclock base, added more space at bottom to add extra bases.

Basically the last image, but this was my first actually release of the map.

Messed with ramp sizes at middle. Got rid of a lot of the bottom middle section. Moved top watchtower to middle of map. Opened up top middle quite a bit. If I recall correctly this is what I submitted to TLMC2.

Increased the width of the map by ~10. Changed third and area around it up by a lot. Moved middle watchtower back towards top. Island base now has ramps to it to make it easier to take.

Version I submitted to TLMC3 and the version you saw played. Island base removed, golds added, lower watchtower removed, rocks at middle removed, larger ramp at 3rd.

Yeah, nice to see where the map started, since it's basically been a story of evolution and reiteration. And I really liked how the games turned out on the map at Red Bull, really cool back and forth aggression, and I don't think that Scarlett/Bomber game will be forgotten anytime soon. Lucky bastard

I'm surprised we haven't seen any more protoss + jungle maps. I know Uvantak did one but honestly I think that's the only other one we've seen. I think the texture combination is really fun to use and it looks really good so it weird nobody else is attempting it. I wish you luck on it and I hope it turns out better than Hab Station!

Yeah, just having that one game on it makes it all worth it lol. I don't even care if it never gets played again because of how epic that was. (Scarlett vs sOs was very interesting as well imo) Hopefully though other places pick it up, I mean, I have emailed some other tournaments but /shrug, who knows.

I think there is/was a Crux map with a protoss/jungle theme as well.

I have to say that I really like this map (that Scarlett vs Bomber game = so awesome); I'm really impressed with how you sought out and incorporated a wide range of feedback into a final map. Congrats on the map making it this far, you deserve it

Scarlett vs Bomber was the best thing that could happen to this map. And it´s sooo pretty.

Don't know why he got warned, he was probably talking about how the map produced a gritty long macro game where the mines were so viable, which is good.

This isn't the place to complain about moderation. Nevertheless, he was warned for twitch speak - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=423487
