I'm glad everyone is posting scores--it's very helpful to compare notes. ;D I got B5.9 O6.9 F6 A4.7 for 23.5. I really like that the judges are harsh with the numbers, it's honest and motivates improvement. Maybe if I had done some more texture and decorations work....

@Barrin: nice numbers there! I played your map a little bit with jdsarge who's on the map testing thread. All my criticisms from the thread are unfounded. Everything works out very nicely, enough space and good routes. Just the main is a little cramped.

@NullCurrent: 6.5 is a good score! I plan on having fun on Marshlands at least.

@everyone: I guess there was a lot of improvement, good to see! I can only expect we'll have even more exceptional material in the coming months.
Comprehensive strategic intention: DNE

Meh, ok.

As for next month. I have actually been working on a three player map for my entry, before you announced the April requirements... Can I still enter that three player map this month?

I'm pretty sure you can enter it. The map doesn't need to have to made starting from the announcement. You can even enter a map you made during the beta if you wanted to.
Anything can be acheived through persistence and thought

Apparently I cannot make "fun" maps, my last map scored 6.4 in fun
Otherwise I'm very happy with my score, everything was better than Beneath the Ice


I think your map was the biggest improvement. Unsure about the judge' votes and your last map score, but when I followed the progress of your map in the collaboration thread and your mapthread I got the impression you have improved the most since the start of the year

Like the marshlands the best. It has excellent layout and expansion paths. Love the rocks in vertical positions.

All the other maps seem to like putting the golds in undefendable, neutral or semi-neutral positions that they might as well not be there. Is it just me or do map makers overvalue gold expos?

That is actually a good question. I personally don't value golds more than blues except under certain situations, like gold thirds

Golds are a big advantage, so they should come at a cost positionwise

So for example Xelnaga, where they are in the attackpaths and have big open areas around them. Or lets say blistering sands, wich are on the lowground and far away from the main base and backentrance.

Some maps they are kinda 'meh' to me, including my own maps ^^ . Some mappers get it spot on tho, and alot of people get really creative with the placements.

Actually, Gold bases don't offer that much of an advantage mineral wise, but they do offer an advantage in number of workers needed for saturation since they only have 6 patches.

iirc, gold mineral bases with 6 patches yield a 5% higher resource collection rate than blue bases with 8

If anyone is interested in how I made Marshlands, I have a post explaining some of it (mainly 45 degree rotation, as that was what was asked for) here.

On the gold or blue discussion: I only use gold sparingly, the only two maps I think where the golds have really good placements on are Metalopolis and Xel'Naga Caverns. So if you get a place like theirs, either in an open space of the standard attack path or the center of the map with many entrances, then a gold might fit.

Is it too late to sign up to play? I ended up missing the last one due to some confusion, so I'd love to try this one. Thanks!

Whoever the admins are for the tourney I would love to have all the replays from the tourney to put in a MotM events tab on GameReplays, as well as any future MotM tournament replays.
