You can port any BW map, until its not a 100% BW port, that it means, the layout can be the same, but you have to modify some of its features... For example, different ramps, cliffs, add vespene geysers etc... But yeah, if you are creative, and make up your own map, that would be better

Alternatively, how about a port of my own BW map?


I'm fine with that :D

Will weird triggers be accepted?
An example of this would be lava rising (it's a form of transitional blocking).

I mean, how creative can people get?

Time for a submission!

Starbow Luna


[image loading]

BW map to compare:

+ Show Spoiler +
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images/4/42/Luna.jpg


Info
  • Bounds, playable: 144x144
  • Bounds, total: 144x144
  • 4 player map, all spawns.
  • Distance nat choke to nat choke: 95 for close spawns, 120 for diagonal spawns.


New features compared to the BW counterpart
  • Gas added to third base.
  • Choke at natural base is 5 pylons wide (it is wider in BW version)
  • Area around main base cliff has more lower cliff to give reapers less area to jump in.
  • Symmetry added. This is probably the biggest changes as the BW version is very unsymmetrical and I had to decide which base to use as basis. It is kinda a mix between most of the main bases of the original map.


Map will be uploaded to both EU and NA servers soon for playtesting.

Try to be creative in other ways. BW had some amazing maps that were really creative that didn't use gimmicks like the lava rising. If you think it will help you win the contest do it, just remember that people are going to play on these maps in a tournament and then vote on them. The highest voted will be put on the ladder. Also everyone should submit more than one map if they can, just to have more options.


are neutral/enemy buildings allowed. and unbuildable terrain?

Neutral buildings at least and unbuildable terrain. Enemy buildings sure, but it's kinda gimmicky imo. They better serve a very good purpose.

Can I get some feedback on a wip map? Since I know very little about starbow mapmaking but I'm enjoying the putative freedom from the usual sc2 constraints.

[image loading]

All spawns. Vertical is 108 measured in editor, is that a reasonable distance given the sort of singular push path and good highground attack point into the nat? Is the 6/12 3rd a reasonable distance?

Also is it single geyser or double in starbow?

108 is a good measure for Starbow. I also like the distances in general. Single Geyser. Your map fits Starbow very well.

Maaaaybe the thirds are too easy to defend... might be wrong on that one. Also, perhaps too much room for reapers to jump in to the main bases, but that can be solved with doodads I guess.

Also, that natural choke will be hard for toss to FFE because of the ramp from the high ground area leading towards the third. Perhaps pushing that ramp further towards the middle? Then again, Blue Storm is in the ladder pool atm

The only critisism I can find is that it looks too much like maps we already have, but then again, I just submitted Luna which is kinda a Fighting Spirit 2.0

Thanks for the feedback! The 3rd bases should be more open (less chokepoint) to increase vulnerability? The idea was that 6/12 was cliffable and 3/9 was air vulnerable and open inside.

Here is a picture of the FFE, it uses doodads to make the chokepoint basically normal size across the diagonal. Is this suitable?

no, it's in the right place. The tournament thread should be in the tournament forum (I'm assuming there will be a separate thread for that)

@ EatThePath. Oh, did not see the doodads. Looks fine then for FFE, even though the high ground can become hard to deal with later, but maps needs features though. tbh your current layout might work just fine, I was just nit-picking.

@The_Temlpar Yeah, we'll make a separate thread for the tournament event with more details later.
