Would this map be playable in Starbow?

The problem with this map it is just too little. try to make more cliffs, leave the gold base out, and make it bigger. And its a bit too SC2'ish for my taste.

Here is my second map.

(2) Noah's Ark

Overview 90

Overview 60

For some reason, a part of the Starship Hall Trim doodads don't show up on the overview.

You can move through the forcefield walls. (Oh the irony)

I added a trigger to prevent the critters to leave the middle of the map. Of course, the map keeps its melee status.

This tileset is quite challenging, the way to use it is different from terran and natural textures.

~~Hmm so the entire middle are is inaccessible... (?)~~

Nvm, I read the description more closely. Ok, this could be a very fun map to play on :D

Could I get some feedback on the Jungle map I had here on last page please???

I was a bit afraid the middle would be difficult to read from first glance.
Here is a picture with simplified textures and highlighted paths.
Red : Shortest path between the two mains.
Blue : All other paths

Rose of Dream explanation

Blue : defender
Red : attacker
Cross : base
Circle : Army/static defence
Tight arrow : army movement
Double arrow : Defender army movement between two positions
Thick arrow : Drop and air attack possibilities
Yellow line : Choke width

It gets quite complicated after 3 bases so all scenarios aren't covered.

With 4 and more bases, i think the army movement continue with the same patterns.

This reminds me of the Cloud Kingdom release with all the analysis of the map in the thread. Really missed your map making, these maps are amazing.

Noah's Ark hands down, most beautiful map since Bel'Shir Beach (yeah I'm biased). Although the "forcefield" doesn't really seem necessary, unless there's no way to prevent critters from moving out of that area.

Added some important info the the OP:

How to add the Starbow Mod into a map

1. Open the editor.
2. Log into B.net via the editor and search for the file StarbowBeta. It should be available on all regions.
3. Save it to your computer.
4. Open the map that you are working on.
5. Go into File > Dependencies.
6. Delete the standard dependencie called Swarm (Mod).
7. Click on Add Other and search for StarbowBeta that you saved on your computer.
8. Click OK and save your map.

All data from Starbow are now used in the map.

How to make the map visually correct for the tournament

1. Download the following image: http://i.imgur.com/kpVroD7.png
2. Import that image via the "F9" importer.
3. Go to: Map -> Battle.net info -> General and add this image as Thumbnail.
4. Do not name your map "Starbow - Your map name here", rather just name it "your map name" for now.

If your map get's selected as a Starbow map for the ladder pool then we will need to add more stuff to it. This can either be done by me, which means I publish it, with a "map made by: you". Or you can do all the ladder preparations yourself.

Update: If you want to upload your map with StarbowMOd dependency to test it, then it must be an "arcade" map.

If you made a melee map it can be redefined in the editor. I will learn more on how to do this and update this post once I know how.
