map reminds me of polaris rhapsody from scbw

dont put those rocks near the golds imo. i think if you removed the rocks, the map flow would be so much better with taking bases. after your third right outside your natural, you have a good flow to move in to any 4th on the map really.

I disagree quite a bit with this assessment. It's been a long time since rocks were used in a way that makes you actively want to knock them down to open up pathing opportunities beyond simply granting easier access to a potential third base.

No it is, Semmo hates almost every map out there. You're doing great for your second map.

I disagree quite a bit with this assessment. It's been a long time since rocks were used in a way that makes you actively want to knock them down to open up pathing opportunities beyond simply granting easier access to a potential third base.

the rocks make a big difference imo as to how easily an opponent can pressure a relatively quick zerg 3rd (or even 4th i guess) base at that location. with the rocks up and the long narrow pathways it becomes very easy to hunt probes/pylons/etc. while also being able to sit back at your natural choke and keep an eye on whether the rocks are coming down + build up defenses before they're broken etc.

not making a statement in favor of either side, but that's what immediately occurred to me

edit: i also really like the pocket rocks under the main base as an incentive to go for the horizontal 3rd, which seems really really strong for protoss if they can get up that ramp and secure the position with sentries and stalkers - more interesting still is how the gap prevents them from abusing it too hard with colossus cliffwalking (unless im mistaken and the "low ground" in the gap is walkable?). lots of really cool stuff going on here.

edit 2: busting those lower rocks that lead to the backdoor natural ramp is so sexy for zergling runbys too since the rocks are too far for a nonzerg opponent to easily keep eyes on :D maybe the coolest rock setup ive seen yet?!

Dig it. Love the base progression and after thinking about it I also like the rocks at the golds, seems to make them more ninja'able, a strat of which I'm a great fan. Zerg players will also need to be diligent at breaking them down in the early game lest they forfeit the backstab routes they might need to hold onto a third. Simple, clean, no fussiness. My only criticism would be that I feel it's a little bland aesthetically -- not for lack of doodads or detail, I like the simplicity, but rather in terms of texturing and lighting. I also feel like the look sells the amazing title a little short.
They're coming to get you, Barbara.
