Map of the Day:
Autumn Woods
Hi, just thought I'd post this random map I made a while back. 45 degree mirror but it can play out like a rotational mirror.

I really like Paradise. I can see why it didn't get finalist position for TLMC2, but that;s one of the better maps I've ever seen. Reminds me of a 4 player Moon Glaive.

I didn't know you'd only made 4 serious maps? Or have you not finished putting your maps in this thread yet?

Misty Peaks looks cool. Reminds be a bit of a map I made a while back, but that one wasn't as good. Aesthetics look good, too. Any closeups?
You sure have become one fine map maker, semmo.

Map of the Day:
Gladiator

Features:
- It is very small, at 138x138.
- Fun remake of BW map, Gladiator ( I made this some time ago)

Map of the Day:
Sky Lounge
+ Show Spoiler [Close Ups] +
Features:
- First 6 player map for 1v1 in Sc2.
- Close spawns disabled - essentially makes the map 4p.
|
Sky Lounge is pretty awesome. I remember playing it like what a year ago? Was lots of fun! Until you beat me with Brofestor.
|
Someone doesn't like 2p maps :O
|
Those wood bridge on Misty Peak are just awesome!
|
Nice maps.
Ps. have a baby with ironman and we'll have our dedicated 3p map maker :D
|
You can't place a mineral wall next to a gas because there's a trick to break it easily when you attack. You make a gas and shift click to mine the minerals then the gas then the minerals and so on. Workers will change their gas for a mineral and a mineral for a gas and will mine out the block fast. Also I'm not sure how many ressources are in your wall, it says 14 but it seems to "regen" minerals.

Map of the Day:
Solenoid
Features:
- 3v3 Team Map.
- One player helps defend the entrance!

That seems like a very weird map, but I like it! One thing I think will make a balance issue, although I guess it's not that bad, is that Terran can lift up their main base. Now, I am a big fan of lifting the CC at the start and going for a gold if there is one nearby, and it normally makes for unique and awesome games, but on this map there is no drawback for doing so, which means that if a Terran spawned in the middle base it will give an advantage to that team because of the fact that the Terran can simply lift to the gold.
Now, while this will probably get overlooked by most players since it is an uncommon thing, there are more things that make for Terran in that position to be much favorable than other races, for example Reapers, lifting up the rax/ fac / star and putting it in the lowground, etc.
I am probably looking into this too much since balance in 3v3 means nothing, but w/e

The thing is, it is quite harrassable from the low ground if you take the gold. Again, I'm not sure about balance because it's Team Games, but I thought it was quite fun!

I like it, especially the textures. I would replace the teal and red decals with the purple ones though, i think they blend way better with the theme. The red looks a bit out of place.

I finally got my hands on a Windows PC, and the Analyser Photos were so pretty that I had to take pictures of EVERYTHING.

wtf happened here?

Please oh please oh please make this work. I've been trying for the past few months, starting with Superouman's Cherno and came up with many of the same solutions. I've been trying to keep it 148x148 but my rush distances are a little short.
I sort of wish that the 6 and 3 spawn locations were closer by ground than the 6 and 9, but it looks like they're about the same (which is pretty impressive). Or that the ground paths between the bases are larger. Of course they'll still play out very differently re thirds and such.

6 and 3 spawns are closer by ground than 6 and 9. Happy Birthday.

Wow, you made all of these?
Well they certainly look great!
I especially love Amethyst and Fruitland, though I have to save I personally think the red and teal textures were fine and nice with the theme, so I hope you keep them like that.

The textures on that map remind me of oldschool BW maps and I love it <3
Infact, I love most things about that map and all the chokes make it decent for mech! <3
|
I also like the map's texture style a lot, since it's completely different from the usual "blend natural textures into each other"-approach. I don't know about the layout though, 3rds might be a bit hard too take and i've never been a fan of island expansions. Why is this your last map for a long time? 
|
Beautiful BW visuals emulation!! Nice man. Also great layout, good sizing decisions. How big is this?
I am worried about the 3rd base in "close ground" spawns aka E/S spawns. The push distance is kinda close for TvZ for example and the map architecture is conducive to biomine pushing.
Scoot them back like this?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uyJIRVu.jpg)
Also you need some of those pillar doodads in the water. :D
|
Legacy has to be my favorite map in a very long time, from a technical standpoint. I've had many attempts at this very sort of map, and none have really been successful. The pathing is varied enough that no one spawn setup is really pigeonholed into taking one path all game long, but it's still restrictive enough to make the rush distances - and expansion patterns - viable in all of those positions as well. I could see this winning TLMC #3. Bye noob!

This is amazing! Mapmakers have never experimented enough with special objectives and terrain features. It will be very interesting to watch how this plays out.
|
Cool cool. I put a 500 mineral thing in a map when hots first came out and I kinda got laughed at. I guess the idea wasn't so crazy after all if GSTL is going to do it (granted it's not a super serious league, but still ) I like the implementation, reminds me of the mechanic from the sc2 campaign map.
In general I think a lot of "gimmicks" like this are actually great and shouldn't be considered gimmicks, if it gets people out on the map more and forces crazy engagements when you wouldn't necessarily expect them.
|
...why couldn't they just use EastWindy's remake?
|
What is EastWindy remake ?
Anyway , good feature. Glad tournaments are starting to use gimmick features.

Btw, sorry for the late comments guys.

Sure. By the end of this weekend is that alright?
Also, did anyone see the epic games of Trap vs Symbol on Frost in GSTL? I really liked that game because all the alternate paths were used. All the features that I put in got utilised as I wanted them to.

Did not catch the game (dammit 1 hour long ride from university to home), but i am glad it actually used the map like it was supposed to be aka one epic madness.

Thanks ^^ by the end of this weekend is great.
I played a pretty epic gold league level match on frost of blink stalkers vs muta. It was pretty fun chasing and dodging around the map.
Congrats again on getting your map played on, particularly how you want to see it happen!
