Yeah this looks like a "boring" variation of things we've seen several times now.

But in good news, this is one of the best versions of BW desert tileset done in SC2 I think I've seen so far.

And for the name I recommend Wüstenfuchs (Desert Fox) instead.

How would "Wüstenfuchs" be better? Probably as hard to pronounce for non-german speakers and still related to Nazism. Just stop with that.

Nevermind, i didn't understand the meaning of the map name.


I think it's something like 'Steep Edge of the Wolf' or 'Wolf Entrenchement'. We have a similar word in Dutch, but I don't know the exact translation. Google says it's entrenchement, but I tend to disagree with that translation. It's more like a lair I think
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

Wolf's Lair (German: Wolfsschanze) was Adolf Hitler's first Eastern Front military headquarters in World War II.
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf's_Lair
Addition to understand the name origin: Although the standard name in English for Wolfsschanze is "Wolf's Lair", the German name does not actually mean this. Schanze is a term from military engineering and is best translated as "fortification" or "sconce".


Kinda agree that there is no need to draw that association to WW2.

This map has by far the best texturing with that tileset I've ever seen.

I'm not a huge fan of the layout as as people have said it's fairly generic, but I do prefer it to Daybreak tleast since the third isn't right on top of the nat. This map personally reminds me a heck of a lot of Match Point which was my favourite map.

The layout is solid, safe but solid. The texturing its great. The little highground outside the third looks a little out of place visually but thats it. I like it

For the love of god, stop poisoning map making. This garbage has become the Michael Bay of maps. Generic in every way, with all the bells and whistles we've come to expect. I don't care if the metagame plays out a bit differently, can we start doing things a little differently?

Edit: The map is perfectly fine the way white bread is perfectly fine. We like white bread, but we already have white bread, can we get something else instead?

Chill out, dude. Standard maps are the way they are for a reason, and they aren't going anywhere. I don't see anything wrong with getting different takes on standard maps every now and then. If we have to have standard maps in our map pools, and face it, we do, I'd rather get a new map than use Daybreak for eternity.

So yeah, tone down the trash talk. The white bread analogy isn't something I'd have gone for either.

Be careful about Nazi references in your maps.

I really like this map. Solid base layouts, and a good improvement on the outer high ground paths + rocked middle concept. A map like Bel'Shir Vestige never sees the middle rocks knocked down because it's both unnecessary and makes for an inferior terrain position vs. someone on one of the high ground paths. None of those issues here.

I'll admit that concept is maybe a bit overused in Crux, but it's done well on this map nonetheless.

Superb aesthetics. Good "learning map". I appreciate that you are trying to get back to the basics in your maps. I too try to get down the basics before moving on to more difficult things. But in my opinion, these learning maps aren't meant for tournaments. Please don't try to get it into the GSL/proleague, just learn from it!

You should probably just change the name of the map. I also don't think it's a good idea to make a WW2 reference in SC2.

Why don't you just go for Wolf Ridge? Easy fix :D

If you really want to use a name of that time sth like El Alamain would be (accordingly to the theme) more fitting ...


I'm really sorry that I made all arguments..
I didn't know about that name, just know 'cool name'

My WW2 Historical knowledge is limited. Only know Attack on Pearl Harbor thing..
Sorry everybody. I will never do this thing again.
REALLY SORRY.

Don't feel too bad, Ovalient! Nobody is angry with you. Just take some time to think of a different cool map name~
