So, after checking Sol Dios by Sunshine and wondering how i could make an entire map work around the feedback i gave Sunshine (The collapsible towers erasing minerals/gas) without falling into gimmicks i came up with this layout.

This map was done and textured in a period of two and a half days, but beware that does not mean that is a bad map! I accelerated the process just to be part of the current MotM contest. Making a map in a ~2 day period is something pretty big/incredible to me because i usually take weeks to do so! I really enjoyed making this map mostly because this kind of symmetry allows me to play around with some ideas i have been messing around with a lot lately, positional play and such, i also haven't worked with volcanic tilesets in a good while so it's nice to mess around with them ^^. Now I hope you guys enjoy the map as much as i enjoyed making it, hfhf!

Small info about the map:


+ Show Spoiler +


◙ Mostly standard layout.
◙ North West expansions locked by rocks.
◙ Central High grounds are vital to control the pace of the game.
◙ Forward third base has a nonstandard amount of resources, 4Blue+3Gold mineral patches with 1 Rich vespene geyser (exposed) and 1 normal vespene geyser.
◙ Safe third base can be harassed from the high ground where the forth is located.
◙ Semi-island South East expansion.
◙ No Xel'naga watch towers.


Changelog

+ Show Spoiler +

♦ Version 1.1
Removed rocks that lead to the North-West top base.
Removed Lava beach splash to try and fix FPS issues.
Fixed central doodads so players can see them move through the fog of war.
Added GameHeart Support.

♦ Version 1.0
Published.



One thing to note, given then absurdly tight time frame, this map has basically zero testing with competitive players (~mid/high masters), so if you want to test it with your friends and then post the replays here go ahead, i don't care if you are gold or silver player (or bronze!), i always have fun watching other people play in my maps!

Love the map and all the smiley faces in the analyzer
Center seems a bit tight but that's probably balanced by there being so many attack paths.

A map with standard mineral and vespene geysers positions is a happy map

I think he means in the terrain, like the center of the bottom/right quadrant or the two in the upper left quadrant.

Oh god, why you do this to me ;_; I liked the layout, now i can't unsee those faces

Glaf you liked the map kiaph, sadly i need to reword some stuff because of FPS drops, i was very worried this would happen because of some decorations, but the lava of the map is actually the one generating the FPS drops so i'll need to see what i can do about that.
