>.> Shhhhh.... silence
I thought that you could vote for more than an option, but oh well. I voted for Mainframe, the other/s i wanted to vote were Stahl/A Chlann.
In my own maps i think i'm gonna submit Foresta with some improved texturing and a new map that i'm stuck on with the detructable xel'naga tower, i just can't get the dammed thing to work -.-;
hmm i think destructible XNT should be np.. just make sure to get rid of the invulnerable tag that's somewhere in its properties (don't remember exactly where off the top of my head) then set an hp and armor value that you like and voila
of course the other option is to just put a rock tower that falls on the XNT.. afaik falling rocks kill XNTs
Actually it is a bit harder than that, there are like two or three things that you have to deselect to make the xel'naga towers destructible buildings, then add the HP and shield, and then the nightmare, find a shield model that works with the xel'naga, and after that you need to find/edit/make a model for when the xel'naga is destroyed, otherwise it will just dissapear.
And there's other thing and is that when you right click on the xel'naga with any unit, that unit will start attacking the tower automatically, so now i need to find and add the behavior that the destructable rocks have (the one that you only can destroy them with A+click).
And the destructable rock tower thing.... that can be usefull, maybe if i switch the model of the tower to something that fit the theme of the map, and then reduce the radius of the area that the rock will be placed on (the "area of death") and remove the rock from be placed... (IE make everything harder than it is already), that would destroy the xel'naga tower and since the radius is so small it wouldn't damage anything else!

Surely it helps to satisfy my agenda of subjectivity? I like it. If everyone voted for the same that'd almost be a slap in the face to my agenda of subjectivity.
Yeah... You are probably just getting trolled, remember that your map can't have Warp time fields and atm D'Autres is the one winning the poll... Or maybe three mapmakers didn't read the rules completelly...

The center pods are droppeable and the xel'naga tower is destructible (1750 hp with 3 armor and 750 hp shields that regenerate just like toss ones)
I also feel that i'm almost ready to start doing more non-standard maps, the map is published in AM and EU servers, it would be nice if some of you guys play in them and give feedback about the FPS, since i'm worried about the high amount of lights that the map has.
lol, that map looks awesome. I'll probably throw my submissions up tomorrow or the next day. I can't figure out how to make the middle of my newest map so I keep closing the editor out of rage. I'll probably end up submitting something I dislike...but w/e

stop stealing what I'm about to say darn it by the way I'm trying to figure out which of my maps is most suitable for this competition but everyone is ignoring me
I have a couple pretty interesting maps I'm slowly working on but they're dragging due to lack of time. Ended up submitting The Moor and Flame Crest. Uvantak your map looks cool, esp. the aesthetics. GL all

Whatever you post should probably belong in the WIP thread. Just so you know. ^_^ <3
I guess it depends, probably no, but if your map really NEEDS these rocks/depots to have a different HP/armor i would go for it, since it would make the map more balanced, remember that's what they want, over creativity, but as i said if your map needs the rocks i would go for it (like mine and the xel'naga tower), but if it is just for the sake of the map having weird/funny stuff on it i would avoid it.
Thanks guys for your words, it really helps my confidence, since everytime i see my own maps i just can't stop thinking of the mistakes i have made in the texturing/doodads and how can i improve them, even when i just don't know how :s
@diamond the map is uploaded to EU and AM servers, and since the name of the map has a ñ and a tilde on it i recomend you to search it for KTV instead of the name.

It's kind of like Crevasse (where the HP of rocks was also lowered) except the rocks don't protect the main ramp but the back door entrance to the in-base expansion. Like Crevasse, lowering the HP for those rocks isn't strictly needed for balance, but it would make early aggression more viable and would force players to get more units earlier than otherwise.
For reference, the main/nat/third layout:
Also, I was actually talking about the lowered supply depots (or unbuildable plates). But I guess now that all ladder maps have them they're considered Blizzard policy compliant, so the point is moot.
Well, finally got around to finishing my new map. Still not completely happy with it but with the deadline being tomorrow I just kind of had to finish it up. Also submitting Habitation Station just because I might as well submit two maps, although I haven't touched the map since TLMC2 and there is stuff on it I'd like to change up as well, but /shrug, no time!
here's my submission. I brooded a bit if i should enter another of my maps as well, but i'm not very happy with them, so i'll better just enter my most recent one.
Features: .: path for reapers/gas harass towards the natural .: no watch towers! You have to work a bit more for map vision than usual. .: Natural walloff requires 3 buildings .: destructible rocks between 5th and 4th base. You can destroy them so you have one less path to worry about, but it can also bite you later on because it blocks the shortest way to your 5th. .: semi-open 3rd (2 buildings to block off the smaller path completely)

Thanks.
Also, no they don't hover like the floating islands. :\ I'm actually not sure if there is a way to do that. Although maybe that's a good thing otherwise that map would probably have massive fps loss due to the amount of those steps in it.
