"People on the low ground should suit up to protect themselves from hazardous environments"
Released on: Global - UNLOCKED

Eyy, back with a new map! With acid. Looots of acid. Surging acid that nearly insta-gibs any poor soul who'd stand on the low ground.
Anyhow! Welcome to Deck 16, a map made in the spirit of New Polaris Rhapsody, but, instead of lava, there's acid instead. And instead of it being a 1v1 map, it's a 2v2 map instead! What a twist.

I would like to thank Scorp for helping me out with changing the lava texture into acid and the trigger work. And I would like to thank Uvantak for helping out adjusting the map layout.
Without their help the map wouldn't have existed!

A map video preview will eventually be made, but for now you may have this small preview instead.

Map Decription:

* Deck 16 is a 172x172 playable map.
* The map contain 16 normal- and 2 high yield expansions. (18 total)
* Acid surge fully covers the low ground, with the first surge happening at the 2 minute mark, followed by a surge every 4 minutes after.
* Built Creep Tumors are immune to the acid surge.
* An additional entrance to the main bases can be found on the middle path lowground. It's blocked by a buffed up debris chunk. (2000 hp -> 5000 hp)
* Timing is everything. Always keep in mind when the next acid surge will happen when moving about!

Obv. first now I realise I used the wrong (old) name for the map thread. The map is called Deck 16, not Sector 16!

Finally got around to make a video preview! Took some time make the triggers work together(well, most of them anyway. Missing an alarm sound here and there) but it's here in 1080p60 now.

Edit: Replaced the old preview video with a new, short, experimental one. Would love to hear what you think of it!
Another thing I would really love to hear about, is the current 4min acid surge timer on the map. Currently I think it's okay, in terms of excitement for viewers, but would like to hear what you people think!

Epic map! I also dig any map with radical texture swaps.

seems way too chokey especially for a 2v2 map which should be more focused on wide areas to fight.

I think it's slightly less chokey than it appears b/c of the places where the textures change on the same terrain level, but I still agree. Then again, maybe chokey is somewhat ok in 2v2 since it's more casual and people off-race a lot. No one is forcing zerg on you.

The name of the map is a massive click bait for Unreal Tournament fans

What kind of death of death animation do you use for units in acid?
I experimented with this feature in 2012 by using the burning animation from lava. I wanted to use the acid death from the baneling but i never managed to do it.

(I sadly couldn't come up with an interesting map with this lava/acid rising

)

Personally the only chokey spot I got issues with, is the entrance to the gold base for the attacking side. A possible upcoming fix I got in mind is this. [Example 1]

I use the Disintegrate death effect to make units die a gruesome acid death.

[Example 2]
(I renamed 'Lava Damage' to 'Acid Damage')
