[M] (2) AVEX - Purified Forge![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Cl2lbQr.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MQvjlO9l.png) (click to enlarge) 60+ Show Spoiler +Analyzer:+ Show Spoiler +
Analyzer seems broken, will add when it's fixed.
156x160 Tileset: Cybross + CharEx2 Spawn Positions: 3,9 Base Count: 15 Servers: NA, EU, SEA, KR VOD:+ Show Spoiler +Features/Explanation/Whatever:+ Show Spoiler + I was inspired by Fenn3r's dislike of the map Ulrena, where there are fast air travel distances, and a short rush distance choke. However, said map gives little time for players to react to certain builds (especially in ZvZ). With this map I achieved a similar effect with a close rush distance, but with an entirely other half of the map dedicated to a longer rush distance, and even a backdoor into the natural, but it takes a long time to reach the backdoor. The superbase at the north is like my other maps, you need 2 bases to mine it all efficiently, else you only mine the blue minerals efficiently, with 2 rich geysers. The gold bases near the main also seem floatable, but since the distance required for SCVs to travel is so long, it's likely not too worth it, but maybe a floatable third? The white highground above the 5th at the south side is a pathable position, so tanks can be used there.

This looks like a ton of fun. Very cool map.
I guess blink stalkers could be an issue, but maybe if so you can just slightly increase some of the lava gaps around the main. I think I like that the third is easy; it makes up somewhat for the exposed main and nat. Main town hall -> nat town hall may be too far. Maybe scoot the main mineral line towards the nat a bit.
It would be nice if the map was maybe a touch clearer in the manmade sections but I don't have any great suggestions towards that end, other than it probably doesn't help that the nat level is the same-ish color as the level below it.
I wish more people would make maps like this that don't give too many fucks. We have plenty of good standard mappers around, but not that many that really experiment to any great degree.

interesting experimental concept

This is very experimental. Reminds me a lot of Desert Oasis.
The main and natural are very vulnerable to air, drops, and blink. Defense will be difficult, and games will probably favor aggressive harassment rather than moving out with a ground army. I wish that the main and natural were a little closer together for creep reasons though. To make up for it, the third is well defended.
If the main and natural do turn out to be too far apart, you could fix it by pushing the main more towards the natural and putting the backdoor ramp into the gold expansion into the main instead of the nat. Alternatively you could just move the mineral line clower to the ramp.

TvP. Terran floats to gold. Does some rush build. GG.

Huh, figured the walk distance would make that really not viable. I can put unbuildable plates there if it's needed.

You can load SCVs into CC you know? Since they unload instantly, you can elevate all 12 SCVs almost instantly with nice micro. But yeah, plates should do the trick.

Yeah but I figured 12 scvs would make that undesirable  Current version (unuploaded) has plates.

Major aeshetic update, should be way easier to see on the map, got rid of the lowground custom texture to help differentiate the levels. Added plates to the gold bases and replaced the rocks at the north superbase with plates (doesnt matter much).
Moved the natural ramp a cell up so you can't hit the natural gas from the upper area. Added sight blockers to the narrow choke ramp at the south, and made the forcefield wall a sight blocker.
