Also i just realized that the center is supposed to be UP and not just 2 bases with rocks between them -.-; i won't change it tho, the map would completely break if i do that :/ | ||

Stop it guys, you are making me blush, that was a map that i just came up with in some hours, it must have some very ugly problems that i still can't see, also the overall theme is quite boring, i should have added more variation between levels like sidian's and stuff, but any of you want to try it i could publish it if you guys want. Hahaha that poor broken creature lezael, put it out of his misery! ♥ | ||

+ Show Spoiler [first attempt] + This is my first attempt, bending the first rule (making the center bases mains) and maybe breaking the second one. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8gPRSpQl.jpg) My submission. I'm still having trouble with the second rule... Those funky bases are 1hyg2hym3m, which is just slightly better than 6m1hyg but with the same total income. Name: Galilei Guile Bounds: 128x128 Uploaded: nowhere yet ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/oUN4ElMl.jpg) EDIT: added submission and put old attempt in spoiler. | ||

updated 1.1 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/4gLRbwg.jpg) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rmBKz7p.jpg) The second topic was mine btw, and yes those interpretations were correct. I was trying to find instances where mapmakers added terrain features where units could tread, but did not lead to any base. Surprisingly, I could only find a few instances where this actually happened. Also Uvantak that map is sick nasty, very good | ||

Hahaha that poor broken creature lezael, put it out of his misery! ♥ Haha, I never intended for the song to play on the map, it was just a thematic inspiration. It's a silly song about people celebrating christmas after being banished to an asteroid by robots. Plus there'd probably be copyright issues if I published it. Thanks, though. | ||

Bounds: 156x132 Overview (angled) Overview (90 degree) Analyzer When I started making this I noticed that the middle bases in all the entries thus far were late game bases that were pretty unlikely to actually be taken. So in this map I tried to make the center bases a viable 3rd option - besides being gold, they're also the closest 3rd by ground, though they're still vulnerable to ranged harass from the low ground. There are tons of possible attack and harass paths everywhere, although I apparently didn't quite match the "does not lead to any base" intent of thefish7's topic seeing as how the main harass paths directly connect 3 bases... Aesthetics are unfinished, pls don't judge. It was originally going to be a sort of flying lab but it obviously doesn't look very labbish right now lol. Sorry I can't embed images properly since I only have internet on my phone right now, so you'll have to deal with the above links. Map isn't published on any bnet servers for the same reason. | ||

The base layout is such that it just becomes a map with an open 3rd and the extra space is part of the rush distance and how the players will take opposing halves to be far from each other. If you shrunk it I think you'd have rush distance and 3rd problems. | ||
