I just kind of go into the editor and fuck around until I'm happy-ish with it. But then again, my maps aren't nearly as pretty as some of these other ones. So far, they've just been to prove the point that the balance standards of modern BW maps need not apply to SC2 (Islands, maps without chokes, etc etc) | ||

I do a general lay out like i want expos here , and here and i want certain like width to this area or w.e and then i figure out how i can split up the map so i can copy paste and rotate it for the mirror, for the made i did i cut it vertically worked on half the map then copy pasted the other half together i do something similar for doodas and minerals/tower placement etc. | ||

In other words: while we already know that a ramp or nearby natural can multiply strategic opportunities, doesn't it also limit them in certain ways? I would just challenge us to think outside the box a little bit to create maps that might open doors to other strategies. How's this? Ladies (lol) and gentlemen of TL, I present to you, A House Divided + Show Spoiler [A House Divided] + 1v1 Space Station No natural, Starting minerals are high-yeild. Only two expansions, both high-yeild ![[image loading]](http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2153/ahousedivided.png) I'm not entirely certain if stalkers can blink from main to main. I don't think they can, but just in case I've put a huge rip in each main to prevent them from just walking straight into the mineral line after they blink, assuming they can in the first place. ![[image loading]](http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/8670/ahousedivided2.png) I'm sure I left plenty of room in each main for all nessessarily buildings. After all, with the relative lack of expos, I don't foresee people getting 20 gateways or anything. ![[image loading]](http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/3892/ahousedivided3.png) The map better look beautiful, at least on Ultra graphics. Texturing was a huge pain. ![[image loading]](http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3048/ahousedivided4.png) | ||

I won't know if it'll be good or bad until I actually play some people on it. But my goal with this is to give you a claustrophobic feeling in addition to rewarding good micro.

Think stacked temples on Neo Medusa or Heartbreak Ridge. I could use some more feedback on this. In my head this will be a macro element. You want to watch this area for an incoming attack (army moving around the bend, or blinking up), or harassment (attacking the units coming around with a high-ground advantage). As it stands, there are no rocks blocking the way. Stalkers could just blink up and run right in. I'm not sure if that is good or bad yet. Rocks could be laid where marked red. ![[image loading]](http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/2374/inundationramp.png) On April 25 2010 07:05 PanzerDragoon wrote: It looks like a campaign map though, with the layout and aesthetic. My goal was to get away from a vanilla wide-open map and give it some character. I'll need some more reaction before I completely abandon the map. Thanks for the feedback! | ||

That idea is born from a simple sketch. It doesn't need to be the de-facto map you will absolutely make. It will just serve as a basis for an idea that you can customize. Sketch for Inundation ![[image loading]](http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/9138/37427275.jpg) Outcome ![[image loading]](http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/6586/inundation.png) | ||

And if you can post in other map threads about this thread as well, I've seen a many other map/poster's of maps. None have seen this thread or Galaxy Editor is they're thread of choice. Currently these two threads are the hot spots for maps. So lets have fun and enjoy them both equally. | ||
