Submitted to TLMC #17 as: Freestyle
Playable Size: 148x144

The first Freestyle map. The more tame one, for sure. Those are gold minerals blocking an in-base third, 21 minerals each. 1 trip for a MULE, 3 trips for the weak ones. This one also has not only the obligatory Reaper step, it's also got a Xel'Naga Tower devoted entirely to spotting Reapers. I'm thoughtful about things sometimes.

Very good map. The layout is neat and the third base is very interesting. The map is a little big and you have to go far towards a new base, but it's not unreasonable.
I want to see a little more compressed version. Very good

<3 your comment means a lot. I won't confirm anything, I honestly don't know if I'm going to have the inspiration to do anything else. But there's definitely room to iterate on the concept. Above all, this is probably the map I've enjoyed making the most, and am the happiest to have made. It hits all the main beats of my mapmaking philosophy, probably to the greatest extent of any map I've ever made. So I'm glad you enjoy it too, whether or not it ever sees the light of day in an ever-aging Starcraft 2.

Thanks.
