Since I'm not as cool, I'll try say something on topic as well. Uhm. Like... Sadly I doubt I'll have my computer reinstalled in time to test any of the submissions before deadline. I do hope for an innovative, balanced 4v4 map though. Hmm, quick idea of that is a map where each player has a separate base, but they all funnel into the same quite close area (to keep reinforcement distances down), and the players closest to their opponents have dead-space to protect that side of their base better. Maybe, maybe not. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zpTKD8T.jpg) + Show Spoiler + I'm not being sarcastic here, Barrin really is really cool! Love for all the hard work he's done for this community. | ||

I always like the Lava Flow concept for 4v4 maps you are describing above. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/0/05/Lava_Flow.jpg) To me the one fatal flaw of Laval Flow is that one player's main base is easily siegeable/cannon rushable from the low ground. I think the 4v4 pool could really use a better version of Lava Flow. All the shared base maps are getting pretty old to me, but the other side of the coin is that separate bases make defending hard in a gametype where defending is already extra hard. | ||

I did kind of enjoy playing some team games where one of the mains could be easily harassed like that. IDK how sustainable that is long-term or if it would ruin it for people who played tons of games and have refined strats, but the ability to create strategies revolving around blink or siege tanks or whatever, even on a 1 base situation, was pretty fun for me. Kinda sucks for the player who spawns there, though. IDK. I think I should maybe play more team games to get an idea of how to make team maps. | ||

Smallest 12 base map in the business. *second smallest Very good, though. I should start working on my submissions now. Edit: wait. how did you | ||

Now they can do that but get ready at stalkers or mutas and hydras hitting the lines.Why'd you put the island minerals on the inside, TT. Really? Come on man at least let the islands be semi-viable. Now there's no reason to take them at all. I really can't understand all the island hate TT. Anyway, the map has 5 bases per player without the island which is okay for a map that is this short and rushy.

Silly, silly me for for a second assuming it was about getting good maps on the ladder rather than getting our own maps on the ladder.

Silly, silly me for for a second assuming it was about getting good maps on the ladder rather than getting our own maps on the ladder. Basic conventions of innovation: the people who put in the time and resources to develop something new deserve incentive to do so. This incentive is realized in a simple form of temporary competitive advantage, whether it's done through patent law in the real world or withholding the design details of a new map in SC2 for a competition like TLMC until sometime closer to the submission deadline. Nobody's stopping you from using those ideas the moment they're released by the original author -- something that helps the scene as a whole. | ||
