Cloud Kingdom? Other than the central highground and the corner bases the map does not have similarities with CK, guys i really want to know how do you come up with these similarities, that way i can stay the fuck away ^^
I won't say to stay away from anything Cloud Kingdom does - the map was incredibly successful - just don't go into a map intending to lift things out of it, which you don't do as it is. People will say what they want, all you have to do with your maps - or any art really - is just be sincere. If something reminds someone of something else, so be it, but it should be clear that it came from you. That's all that matters.
I said it more as a joke tho, I'm happy when people compare my maps to others that they liked or that i consider to be good and solid, most of the time that's what i'm searching for in my maps, so i have no problems there ^^

Most of the base positions are very similar to cloud kingdom, and the central high ground included seperating it all too. sure the 3rd is low ground compared ot high ground in cloud but honestly this map looks alot like cloud minus a few high/low ground differences like I originally said.
So as i said up, sorry if my previous post came badly, i was just messing around :/
Regarding the similarities, yes i can see them, not as much but definitely they are there, the thing with this map is that moving across the central highground is much harder than in cloud tho, much much harder, it's a similar principle that the one i used in the central ridge of Foxtrot, and that together with other changes makes the map behave quite differently from Cloud, specially regarding expansion patterns, the positions where fights happen and how they develop.

Imo is much better than your foxtrot map that is on ladder. WTB this replacing foxtrot! <3

With a non creepable middle and low ground 3rd it'll definitely open up the map vs zerg and make taking that 3rd harder to defend. Although getting the 3rd probable means the 4th is easier to take then cloud and much easier to defend with no ridge behind mineral line to abuse.
Not a big fan of foxtrot on the ladder, typically I only get zvz and it's a 4player map... so you know.... yolo. Much rather a map like this as I liked cloud kingdom and 2player maps.
EDIT: Noticed there's a pathway behind the 4th, but it's unlikely colossus or tanks are ever going to be there to deny mining like in wol cloudkingdom lols.

For this i do not know if you mean the clockwise expansion pattern or the counterclockwise :s

So does many other people, the thing is that Blizzard wanted four player maps, they said so in the OP of the TLMC, they also were searching for maps that encouraged the Meta to develop in interesting ways, i delivered :b

That's the thing, the highground does not behave like in cloud kingdom, many other features also make the map not behave like CK even if they look to be similar.
