Map Description

Elevation Burrow has come a long to its third final version, going through an additional 74 major and minor surgeries for the Team Liquid Map Contest #4, from its initial 11 when I posted the first final version on the StarCraft II’s General Discussion and Melee Map Showcase Forums, I hope everyone enjoys playing on it and I’m looking forward to seeing it on the ladder pool.

Elevation Burrow is a four player melee map designed for one versus one matches. The distant feature of this map is that it’s horizontal spawn only (NO cross NOR top vs bottom), since the top and bottom of the map isn’t mirrored. There are also two destructible rocks behind the natural expansions serving as a turtle breaker during the mid to late stages of the game when a split map scenario occurs. There are two path to the center third bases from either spawning locations with a destructible rock tower placed by it that can be knocked down to block the path at the back to shutting down harassments. In the center of the map there’s a Xel’ Naga watch tower surrounded by sight blockers on a high ground that reveals a large portion of two huge path in the center, that can be used to spot most unit movement, while there’re also two long and narrow paths that circles around the vision of the watch tower. The map leans toward macro oriented play due to its sheer size and close bases.

Special thank-you and shout-out to those who helped me made the map to what it is. Scyt and Shipdoodle who tested many version of this map pointing out problem, giving good feedback and suggestion. GMs and progammers: KoMA, viOLet, Mercy, Splendor, and SSanaEE testing out final versions and pointing out core problems and explaining to me why something is broken and give suggestions for fixing. CommradConnor for a great idea of fix and XOXO for playing against GM.

Finally a reflectional 2-in-1. I had plans for something like this myself, but haven't got it done. Great to see someone else is on it.

I feel it's very large with a lot of bases... I'd prefer something a bit simpler I think.
all's fair in love and melodies

Some nice concepts there but the execution is a bit raw.

To be honest I'd like to destroy the bottom half of the map and remake it, but I ran out of time to modify the structure further.

Why don't people like it? Including you, OP?

I think it looks fantastic. The little path on the very edges is really cool, seems good for sneaky attack for both attack and defense.
Nice bright color.

Decent ability to take thirds.
Blahhh

Think it's because I worked on it too much, I wanted to delete this map at one point when I reached around the 80th version and becomes frustrating.

Shooting the natural mineral line from the gold mineral line looks like a problem.

Yeah, but I'd be mad if it was bad. This looks really nice. The layout seems pretty good so far? and the colors and textures are nice and bright.

Thanks and yeah the layout is good so far it's not the best map in the world but it's good. I also spent a lot of time through out the map making process to improve how the texture looks and it looks a lot like how a dessert should be.

By the way this is the stream of the guy who helped me balance the map, be sure to check him out, he's pretty good.

Yeah, I just tested it and you could put siege tank there and shoot the mineral line, but it can easily be fixed by removing some terrain if it's a serious problem.
