[M] (2) AVEX - Hellfire Peninsula

[image loading]


[image loading]
(click to enlarge)

Size: 172x156
Tileset: Braxis Alpha Ex2 / Mar Sara Ex2 Retextured Void and Endion
Spawn Positions: 2, 8
Base Count: 16
Servers: NA, EU, SEA, KR

Features/Explanation/Whatever:
+ Show Spoiler +
Literally just wanted to make a map with the Hellfire Peninsula aesthetic in wake of all the WoW server drama. Burning Crusade is where I started (Late vanilla if you want to be specific, but I was pretty dumb and useless), and the Path of Glory holds a strong memory with me.

I was also wanting to try out a concept where the natural and third are far enough from eachother, but equally close to the main to where they could be swapped. Through testing this proved difficult on this map specifically, so expect a return to it later. Currently the natural is rather far, but past the early game, it and the third should be relatively simple to defend. The map is on the larger side, so expect Muta v Muta, some drop play, maybe some proxies as well. I think it's a pretty solid map, personally. But, I can make changes if need be.

I like the middle of the map quite a lot, but I'm not really sold on the main/natural/third layout especially that ledge at the intersection. What does it promote apart from camping a bunch of reapers there raining hellfire (pun intended) on any unit that passes by? Reapers abusing that ledge sound almost unstoppable in TvP and not particularly pleasant in the other terran match-ups. I'm sure there's other ways to abuse that ledge too.

edit: On second thought maybe Protoss can place a pylon next to that ledge to prevent that? With a mothership core defence is probably doable though any form of early expos wouldn't be. Doesn't sound hugely healthy though. Also in TvT does it force a reaper mirror since there isn't an early way to gain high ground vision apart from reapers and floating buildings?

this is a really weird map. definitely would have to be played to get a feel for if any of those crazy all-ins are too strong: blink, tanks, etc.

I like the new main/natural layout a lot. The new ledge positioning seems less abusable too--tank drops upon it look to be very strong of course, but beatable.

Oh you can't path on the little ledge on the platform. :X Should probably make that more obvious.

Oh ok. That makes sense. What's the purpose of it? Overlord and liberator spot I suppose?

It is really charming path. but dual entrance base is risk of 12 pool allin vs protoss

P.S that map is hot topic at Korean portal. because.... korean said that "Korean Peninsula = Hellfire Peninsula"

Ooh, didn't even think of Liberators. But yeah, Overlord spot as well as help with the wall.

Hmm i wonder if their is anything you could use to add the ramparts to the middle, mainly an aesthetic idea to make it look even more like the original.
