If you have any suggestions I'd be glad to hear them. I like the xel'naga ideas and would like to try them. When do you think a link will be up? I'd like to test the map out with a friend.  | ||

2 player map, based heavily on Starcraft 1 map Polaris Rhapsody. Spawn locations at 5 and 11. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/4245/centrifugetop.png) ![[image loading]](http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4924/centrifugeangle.png) | ||

I don't have the beta/time so I can't play with this myself so if someone finds this idea intrigueing I would take that as a great compliment. What about randomly spawning/randomly triggered Destructible Rocks on a map? obviously this would require use of triggers but would it be neat for every minute or so have a set of rocks spawn at a random location? This could create a choke at a normally wide open area or instantly cut off narrow attack paths, protect expos/back doors or even deny expos if you lack the field strength? This would encourage players to think on their feet and to adapt to not only changing army comps but changing map environments too. Especially on maps with little gas to encourage ground armies. What do you guys think? EDIT: or even yet a map that's wide open but completely saturated with rocks kind of like dimfish's excavation but the entire map. dig your own attack paths! | ||

Question: I've been working with the Abraxis tileset and am used to the lower terrain tool creating outer space (sort of like a hole through the map to the background.) I was screen shotting my map and now all of a sudden all the areas that were holes (can be seen in the screen shot in my post at the bottom of the previous page) are now filled with "low" ground (the unwalkably low type) but it won't push through to outer space (open hole) anymore. Has anyone else run into this problem? Argg.. buggy. Here's a hi-res of Match Point w/ new Deco and a few other random changes. You can also see where all of the "ravines" or "holes" have turned into "ditches" of sorts, they now have a ground which is several heights lower than the lowest walkable ground while before there was NO ground and one could see through to the pretty background. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/0IiRU.jpg) | ||

In the editor press 'v' to toggle the in-game video settings and you'll see space like you should. | ||

Has anyone found a way to mix different tilesets in a map? Like using desert textures on a jungle map. I've been looking around, but haven't found anything. Also, does anyone know how big things like no fly-zones and the like are? I've been making a volcano in the middle of one of my maps, so both questions are related to that. :q | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/U2w0o.jpg) + Show Spoiler [Match Point 0.4 wip] + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Q1H43.jpg) I changed some terrain around the middle and added doodads as well as a bunch of path blockers. Also the high ground "pods" are unbuildable, but the rest is buildable. I fixed the issues Davee mentiond. | ||

Each player has only one easy expansion; to get at anything else they need to break down some barriers. Small choke in main, medium choke at nat, and at least 2 rocks to get through if the opponent is breaking through your backdoor. Also a limited amount of cliff for Reapers to get into the main through. Mediumish rush distance for the size of the map. ![[image loading]](http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8294/badredmap1.png) Beautiful map. However I feel that removing a few of the destructible rocks would make side expansions more viable. As on now everyone is going to block off their natural's ramp and wall off there. | ||
