EPTBut 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.

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 | ||

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. Blizzard made an awesome lore to use and get names from. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

Just take some time to think of a different cool map name~ | ||
