Yeah I agree, that small ramp is mainly for harass or a dedicated attack that will use it. It's more the threat of it that enhances the positional value of the high ground, which cascades all the way across promoting it from "alternate route" to a preferred route instead of the middle. But to use it uncontested would require a mistake on the part of the defender, which is fair.

Good map... the skybox is really a nice touch.

I really like the Crevasse/Calm before the storm natural, but doesn't it contribute to positional imbalance as well as general difficulty for protoss to defend drop and muta play? IIRC, those were the things that made protoss dislike those maps in WoL and now muta and drop play is even stronger.

Still, I agree with EatThePath, its better than those two maps and that is really saying something.

Unlike a map such as Whirlwind, the positional imbalances are designed to balance each other out. The Nat is more exposed for the counter-clockwise player, while the third is more exposed for the clockwise player.

As for the natural, the balance remains to be seen, Protoss is now just as capable, perhaps more so, of harassing an exposed mineral line in HotS.

I agree wrl did an awesome job with the skybox.

Concerning the Crevasse/Calm before the storm natural like wrl said we don't think protoss will have a big problem, plus it's a full base and how the nat and third are placed, they balance out each other.

Also thank you for saying that it's better than these two map since they made GSL...

Its kind of a complicated process with a lot of strange things that need to be done, I couldn't describe it without forgetting a step. That said, the general idea involves exporting textures and material files (.dds and .m3) and customizing them using photoshop and a hex editor.

Hmm... I really think you should consider only allowing crossspawns. The map just seems to terran favoured when getting close positions, especially if he's clockwise.

Nice map though!

I'm not sure if it'd be terran favoured. You could just pull a fighting spirit style expand and just go south rather than taking the natural third.

I hate to say it but... It does resemble a swastika. If you remove the intersection at the end of each road it should fix that.


A swastika goes clockwise, not counterclockwise. Google image it.

Also, definitely a cool looking map with that block design. I'm not even close to good enough to comment on balance, but aesthetically it's very unique.
