Low ground main seems silly since you could raise it up two levels, but whatever. Good to find out if it works, anyway. Seems like the unpathable high ground bits could use some more doodads. Layout is neat, though. I like the style. | ||

However the general layout of the map is really cool imo. The way the thirds are quite close and straight forward to move to by ground, yet blocked by rocks. And even if you'd expect your enemy to take out the rocks and pressure you hard third to third, you can take another alternative corner base that's very far away instead. The last base has a very interesting neutrality going on, kinda between the nat of one player and the fourth of another, yet not a strong strategical position to take and also very close by air to the main. Overall the bases are all very unqiue, nothing is too turtly or too hard. Brilliant map layout imo. | ||

naw but 4 real great job with the map  I wonder if the low main will be a bit easy to siege? However it's something new and that's good. | ||

Securing 4ths + 5ths should be important here, since they are far away. | ||

1 point for perfect use of map space/boundary 1 point for low ground main 1 point for layout (bases flow well, alternate paths flow well) .5 points for textures (getting tired of seeing endless phaetheon, even tho theres a little temple mixed in here) .5 for the awesome temple corner bases (i feel like if i were to play this, id just ditch my main and go make new base up there where its so neat) Thats 4 out of 5, very good work on this one! | ||

Very unique layout. I just wish the aesthetics were as interesting as the layout | ||

You can't hold the ramp against cheese because the defenders won't be able to shoot up while the attackers can shoot down. | ||

Well, players will need to take that into account when picking builds and such. Might still end up being deemed broken, but can't we give it some time? | ||

I agree, the meta game will never evolve if we never put players in uncomfortable situations. That's why Blizzard is taking so long to patch HotS and I think it's a good thing. | ||

But then, what about blocks on the bottom? Is that an issue? And you can't really do it on the bottom and the top since then the defender won't be able to wall off at all, either. | ||

I'm zerg so I don't actually know  Edit: I realize that there's no point to walling off the bottom anyway, so maybe debris at the ramp top is a bad idea. | ||

Other than that I like it really well. I do think that those little ramps by the 3rd should be 2x instead of 1x because that just hurts the defender from dealing with harass of the third base by choking things up too much there. | ||

I think plexa is onto something tho about the forge wall. I think the meta would be pretty tricky here for zerg b/c protoss can just threaten a wall and zerg has to early pool, meanwhile it could be a fake and protoss is nexus firsting or some such. | ||

It's not there, but here's a guide I found on how to change your editor's region. http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/development/editor-bugs-and-feedback/6780-info-changing-your-editors-region-server/ Also, you may not want to do this, but you could put the map file up for download and I'd happily upload to NA for you, giving all credit to you of course. | ||

Lol, why do that when Blizzard added official support for region changing? Just select the region in Preferences. | ||

I usually look at maps when I'm at work, and then forget about the maps once I'm home. Hopefully I'll remember this time around | ||
