Paralda
Published to: [NA] [EU]

Created by Scorp

[image loading]


Paralda, the last of my three TLMC5 submissions, is a fairly standard rotational map with 4 spawns. I tried to keep all of the spawn distances as even as possible, while allowing for alternate attack routes throughout the map - no matter the spawn scenario. One of the key identifiers of the map is the use of openness vs. chokes, which (hopefully) will result in interesting games.

Bounds: 152x152
Bases: 16x 8m2g
Main to Main: 54s (close), 63s (cross)
Natural to Natural: 33s (close), 40s (cross)

This gotta be one of the best mixed tilesets i have seen in a long time. Extremely good job on that ! Love the low doodads count and the terran textures.
As for the layout , try expanding the highground third chokes by 1-2 tiles each. Just a thought

This looks cool. 4p rotational maps always welcomed.

I most definitely have to agree. Gorgeous !

Though 4 bases seem a bit easy to hold, the map looks really good to me. The openness vs chokes duality you highlight in your description is indeed very interesting and I hope the map gets some love.

Excellent use of color... without the green of the grass texture to dull it down the sand would just be blinding. It all comes together well.

You can full wall with room for multiple cannons with 2 pylons behind the nat mins. Beautiful map though.

I quite like the aestethics of the map and the layout of it, i feel that it might be a tad too chocked up in the highground around the center but that shouldn't be too much of an issue imo.

Also a very small thing, to move the vespene geyser, as i said a small thing but that would help PvP and ZvX.

In case anyone missed the pretty awesome, 42-minute long game on Paralda in the HTC: Best of 69 Bunny vs Snute, here it is:
