I love this map! Island maps are totally more viable than they have ever been with how easy and popular drop tech has been for all races. I also like how resource dense it is for its size. I really hope that this map is balanced enough to see play on the ladder. It should be unique enough for Blizzard to at least give it some notice.

I think it would have been cool if you had empty space where you have the LoS blockers next to that gold base, so you have to go all the way around.

It would make the terrain much more unique. I'm gonna act like that's how it is, anyway.

Hmmmm, it looks very, very nice Etc, I have 1 concern, and 1 concern only, and that's the area behind the Natural mineral lines.

[image loading]

It seriously looks like there are a couple 2 pylon cannon rushes there. Even when we don't see cannon rushes as much anymore they still can be lethal, specially with the newer pylon photon overcharge.

Other than that, I consider this to be one if not the best map you have done (or that I recall atm ;p ).

Oh, also the thing that new sunshine said, what if instead of it being a empty space you added a set of diagonal rocks+the LoS blockers? It wouldn't be so hard in the expansion flow as Sunshine wants, but I consider that it would be pretty cool.

Pretty cool

I think one of the island bases should be further from the cliffs or somehow otherwise more defensible (either the near one or the 7/1 o'clock). As-is it's going to be pretty rare that anyone take an island base before their 4th or 5th, and as such the main feature of the map will go unused in a high % of games. Other than Terran maybe making a greed play now and then with an extra CC floating over. It -is- cool that eventually you have to start taking island bases, rather than it just being an option like in most maps that have one.

@ the name, I don't get it. Death from overworking? Are you talking about your own personal life? I guess we've all been there :-P

At first glance I thought this was double cross spawn positions, with one having gold as natural and the other standard minerals.
Gonna be a matter of time until someone picks up that "idea".

It's nice, but I would make the island near the main have a ramp.

Yes, with the exception of the mains.

Thanks, I do hope that islands are more viable in reality aswell.

I'll fix that, no need for that possibility imo.

As far as the paths to the gold goes, I think that the golds are far enough out of the way its not needed.

Exactly, real-life for me right now is preventing me from mapping as much as I would like. So I'll only submitting one map to this "contest" thing.

Hmm. I wonder if any of the stuff you submitted previously would work, with maybe a tiny tweak here and there to goofy it up a bit. Your stuff last contest was pretty strong.

I possibly could, but it would feel tacky. I may do so anyway and just submit some recent larger maps I made before LOTV dropped.

Also, now uploaded to NA, EU, and KR servers.

Too bad you will never have your map accepted in the ladder pool because of its name
