Completely idiotic maps are fun, and not enough of them exist, so I decided to make one. Expect a couple more of these in the near future.
This one's for 3v3, you're fairly safe until the main minerals mine out, after which the rush distance suddenly drops to about 2 seconds and the fun begins. And they're gold minerals, so that shouldn't take long at all.
The center is unbuildable to prevent terrans from abusing flying buildings.

holy shit this is perfect
|
Dislike the fact that it's so easy for ranged units to deny mining in the main mineral lines. Apart from that, great map
|
If the middle ground would be made a unbuildable area I think that would pretty much make the map as good as it gets, atm I foresee Terrans lifting raxes into the middle area, in the meta of the map that could get annoying really quick.
Alsos did you added the 900 minerals in? Or are they all the 1500 ones?
|
Say whatever you want - I want this map on ladder. Truly, current mappool for 2v2 and 3v3 is very bad imo. This is great, funny, almost too creative;)
|
You know what be really fun?
A map with a short Bridge from the bases from the geeko. Annoying as hell, but gives the C&C RA3 AI feel of units always being in your base 
Everyone prob. veto it though so
|
The map name is genius for this concept. Definitely a rush-type map but I absolutely love it, and I haven't played team games in years.
|
Oh man I want this on the ladder so bad.
Also - agree w/ Uvantak's suggestions. lifting raxes is big in the team game meta right now so no need to make it stronger than it needs to be. Also cannon rushes could be pretty hard to stop as a zerg or toss heavy team for the same reason. Better to make it unbuildable imo.
|
I would love it if Ace match in Pro League was played on these maps, 3 vs 3. Would be so sick. Never gonna happen though sadly 
Would just love too see any/more matches on these maps from pro players at tournaments even if it's only for fun, like a side show a bit like what they do at Homestory Cup sometimes. Always entertaining and a great watch. Keep up the good work NegativeZero.

I don't think you could mineral walk. But regardless, the middle should be unbuildable, I think everyone agrees.
|
Yeah just cuz floating rax is pretty BS. The other options for mid harass I actually quite like, including reaper grenade. Toss can just warp stalkers in behind the minerals, I mean, holy crap. 10/10 solid gold

Even with an unbuildable middle I'm pretty sure this map favours terran a ton. I'm not sure what Protoss and Zerg can do against one or more terrans that rush reapers and vault themselves over the mineral line with their grenades.

sooo... float your first rax and use your first 3 marines to deny mining to the entire opposing team?

Well, that's if the opposing team doesn't do the same with you first!

So the optimal strategy on this map is to load SCVs into the command centre, and drop them off in the middle of the map to deny your opponents' barracks from landing... And since your opponent might do that it could end up as a worker war.

If you do that the floating barracks player wins because he has gas.

ofc your other two allies are floating over their own raxes. You could try to counter that strat by having your allies leave the game early so that you get the resources for incredibly fast barracks, but I'm not sure how well that would work out.

i'm going to edit the middle to be unbuildable so that's irrelevant anyway

One can still warp in units behind the mineral lines, right?
Dont know if that would be too fast. Maybe its okay.
|
Should be fine I think. Zerg would have to put a spine right up in the minerals to defend harass I guess. It would be pretty terrifying if a PPP team all did it at once so there was a whole stalker army in there denying mining. But it would lock a bunch of stalkers in behind the minerals with no immediate way out, and it's scoutable as fuck, sooo probably would have to try it to find out.
