Maybe with mineral deposits scattered not in a typical line like on most maps. Perhaps a mineral field with various patches at different distances. Another couple ideas I have: -Gas only expansions -Overall lower mineral counts to force better micro and place more importance on keeping more expensive units alive It would force different gameplay with different timing on expanding and/or change the nature of expanding completely. | ||

Not really, you have to run all the way around to get to a path. You can't just easily move around to an opponent, you're forced to take narrow chokes to even attempt a surround, making your timing to flank have to be near impeccable and giving other races that like chokes extra security. And you still can't flank from all sides, your units are limited to coming in at two directions as opposed to from any direction. Makes it a lot easier to see a flank coming as well. | ||

As a Terran I dig it. As a zerg I would cry in my sleep if I had to play ZvT consistently here. | ||

this is like a really late game map with all these mineral patches and really hard to defend areas makes walling off tedious among other things | ||

I listened to what you all had to say and made some modifications to the second iteration, tried to open it up a little bit more but maybe its still to consided, let me hear what you think. ![[image loading]](http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l219/nixi_03/Nixi_starcraft2map1_v02.png) Better or worse? | ||

 Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the high yields in the corners doesn't seem to be a trend in the current maps released. Swapping them with the watch tower mineral patch seems to conform more to the blizzard released maps. That being said I like the use of destructible rocks and backdoors seems like it be a frustrating but strategic map to play. | ||

I think putting the rock on the top left/bottom right on the ramp would make it harder for Reapers to be so good. (If you don’t nullify the high ground or ramp all together.) They’d have to take a wacky route through the middle to get to the base, and if they wanted to pop out behind the main base minerals they’d have to go past that rock blocked high ground in between the naturals. And I’d imagine that the ramp going right into the back of the base might promote extremely defensive play, because it’d be such a risk to leave your own base. Especially if you have a relatively immobile army. That said, I like the overall feel of the map, save for the advantage it gives to Terran, and to a lesser extent Protoss. (Slightly lesser, storms and colossus would be a pain to deal with I’d think.) And I like that high ground thing in between the backyard expo and the natural. Not sure how I feel about the constricted middle, I’d say go for it when Galaxy Editor comes out, and if it’s bad then you can fix it up a little. We should do experimentation with maps anyways, to see what happens in theory, and what actually happens in practice. (Also some line of sight blockers might be nice on the map, since their one of my favorite new features.) Good luck with the map. | ||

I will keep them in mind when making the third iteration. I'm not sure about the placement of them in the middle though, perhaps just changing the arc of it so that it cant see the natural instead. Thanks for the input! | ||

with the destructible rocks where they are now it seems like that one natural is very open to harassment with siege or even upgraded colossus i guess other than that...its awesome that ure already developing maps/looking for feedback look forward to seeing this map in its final form when this patch comes out. | ||
