It's unfortunate because this weekend I'm actually going camping with some buds. I did send my topic in though, so even though I won't be able to create a map, I'll definitely be looking forward to the submissions when I get home late sunday. :D

@a176 probably.
I'm considering this concept:

My first attempt. I think it's got some cool stuff going on. I was a little concerned about the short path through the center, so I blocked it with 2 gold mineral patches that have 14 minerals each (so it takes 4 trips to get through them). Hopefully this is few enough that somebody would consider actually busting through, using the scouting worker as one, and then bringing another worker when you do the next.

also the top side of the bottom right main will be blocked with doodads so that reapers can't get in/out.

EDIT: updated a bit. the short rush distance is actually totally reasonable, so I removed the minerals.

EDIT2: I didn't have any more time to work on it after trying out things I didn't like, so this is my submission. Name is Kersmeffle :D

No ramps eh? Thats kind of a tough one. Well here are some inspirational pictures of some old maps that didn't rely on ramps.

Since the aesthetic topics are just for fun, can I add one? I'd like it if we weren't complete chauvinists and you can get bonus points for female reproductive organs as well. Ovary highgrounds etc.


@RFD: That's pretty cool 2entrance main design. I'm worried about having no lategame bases (nothing past 3) without getting to the lowground. Seems pretty rough for zvt. Maybe you can add a base somewhere that is far by ground but not a different cliff level?


@unvantank: I don't think you need the little holes adjusting the openness. Nowhere on the map right now is really huge open area so I think it's fine, especially those are in more lategame areas. Also the gold bases are already in winner's base positions and are easiest for terran by far (even if there's rocks blocking or something). Maybe they can face the other way and be backed up a little to make them more reasonable options for a special 4th base strategy or something?

I know these are for fun, but I still like to analyze them. I think it's instructive for "real" mapping! ^^

@Fish: so inspiring XD

Hey everyone! Took a bit of a break from map making, and wanted to do the TLMC but just couldn't come up with any worthwhile concepts. Decided I'd do a Map Jam map though .

Initially, I was pretty happy with how my map turned out. Then I realized that while it was 116 width, the height was about the same when I massively shrunk the bounds.
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
(Not sure why the picture got cut off).

With this unfavorable outcome, I decided to just make the map a 4-player map. It was something that I didn't want to do, but I also didn't want to come up with a whole new layout. I planned on doing the jungle / beach aesthetics, but now that it's a 4-player map, the ideas that I had for texturing are no longer possible.

I present to you:
Shattered Dreams
[NA]
116x152.

Vertical spawns are disabled.

Hopefully in the near future, I'll be able to come up with an interesting map concept that I'll be happy with .

<<EDIT>> Added textures and fog,made slight changes and added a couple doodads.

@Ruinsteel: What do you think about filling in the middle hole as normal ground? I think this would really improve the lategame (more mobility but still positional). I also don't think you need rocks on the center islands, since they're so vulnerable and far away from CC floating. I really like the map! I might steal some ideas if that's okay. :D

Seen these maps i just couldn't stop thinking about Hunters, i'm glad i wasn't the only one ^^

About the holes, i really like those, for some reason i have always liked these small holes and the dinamic it creates, slow armies, it gives a easy fortifiable position even if it is in a open area, so in any oportunity i have i add those, since it makes the players think about the terrain :3
In the gold expands i was just messing around, i like when maps use them in the center, but as you said when that happens sadly it's always a "winner position", and for the map since i had those holes in the center doing nothing and the map is not going anywhere, why the fuck not add some funky things on it?


That looks extremelly nice Coppermantis, are those the bridges that can be retracted right??

Sadly I can't make an actual map because of time issues, but I did make a draft of my idea, although size is problematic since it's really hard to tell what is a correct size and what is not.

[image loading]

Anyways the restrictions are really nice, the maps seem really unique. I think that a cool thing to do to make ZvZ good is to put creep instead of other means of blocking the main choke, this lets zerg the ability to block off the entrance, although I guess this is not a must, but it should make the ZvZ matchup better in a flat main choke map. Another idea is what I used on my draft, which is to make rock towers above the main choke so its breakable, thus making early aggression much weaker, although still allowing scouting.
