Description:
Main has an in-base natural. The main ramp is a large ramp but blocked by debris to have the ramp wall-off like a normal main ramp. The natural has the mineral line oriented towards the center which favours air harass. The third is rather close, but can be harassed by the side path and has a fairly open space just in-front of the third.
For your forth, you will probably want to expand away from the opponent. In the center, you have a xel'naga tower that can only be approached by small and medium unit, which means that archon, thor, ultra,etc... Can not go near it because of the small choke surrounding the tower.
In conclusion, the map favours macro game, but offers a lot of harass opportunity.
I would like to say a big thank you to lefix and Timetwister22 for their help in doing some much needed change for making it more balance.

Thank you. Do you still play sc2?
|
Is the rush path through the watchtower range, or the cliff?

aaaaaaa Thnx 4 the credit  I like the sc2 version
but u r missing that sexy star in the middle :D
|
is this really going 2 be a ladder map?
OMG this is crazy back in the BW days, the maps would not really get any where, just local chartering, analysis, a couple of small games, and if lucky maybe a small local tournament. But with sc2, it seems there is some real stuff going on wow!
This is giving me some real motivations to start mapping again!!

Are all spawn positions supposed to be enabled? There's a Reddit post that says cross positions aren't possible on ladder.
|
Yea, that's kind of strange. Especially since the distances are almost exactly the same.
|
Pretty cool map.
Though, is it my graphics or did blizzard fuck up the aesthetics big time in the ladder version by removing all the small glowing decals?
|
does anyone know how to make the Custom skygeirr skybox here?

It's a bug, only exists on NA servers

iirc it's a custom skybox that was recolored using some editing software. If you want to use this exact skybox you can just open the ladder map though.

Yes, but these are gone at all graphics settings - they're even missing on official WCS streams.
