Eiyafjalla Jokull!

Volcanic map with an easily defended Main, Natural with backdoor protected by destructle rocks, a hard to defend Third and an even harder to defend mineral only.
On the left and right there are two Watchtowers and the middle is surrounded by LOS-blockers.
Havent decided on whether or not to have high yield-expos and where yet.

There should be "Dynamic pathing blocker" under Units (neutral/melee/all/all), works for me atleast.

is that really the best way to do it? i assumed there were some kind of terrain that would be impossible to walk at instead of putting out objects o,o

Better yet, go to the pathing layer :p

Lava is under the water tab in the terrain layer.

You have to use pathing layer indeed, i found that Rubble Walls dont have collision, so you have to path block them, otherwise your units can go through

Can units walk on shallow water or is that an island map? walking on shallow water would be cool!

Units can walk in shallow water.

They can also walk in deep water, you could have a fully underwater map. It would be really hard to play though if everything was covered by water. The water actually takes precedence on the minimap so all the user would see is a solid block of blue.

How can i reduce the lag in the editor,

2gig ram, 2gig proccessor, 256mb video card. atm. not upgrading either, but yeah how?

edit: I've just tested to see one thing, i clicked file> new> and made the smallest size, so it seems the smaller the map i make the less lag, atm on the smallest possible selection there is no lag whatsoever, wow thats actually a word, chrome didn't correct me lol

edit After setting everything to low in the preferences and restarting the editor it all seems to be fine now.

Here's a multiplayer map I've been working on, called Whisper. It's a large-ish 1v1 map which encourages 2-3 base play and has a relatively open midfield:

Very basic decoration at the moment, but I want to see how it plays and probably tweak the base layout before going much further.

Nice looks very close to the original, just need to make it Alpha Braxis and it will be identical basically.

edit OR!! in case you saw my previous post. put destructible rocks on top of that center piece so everyone has to go around all the time until one of them breaks the rocks.

hey I'm getting a problem where I can place any resources near the outer edge of the map (like the outer 5th of it). Any suggestions? Do I just need to remake it on a larger map or something? lol

Here is a remake of the Blood Bath, its still a work in progress I think I need to adjust the extra minerals in each base a little bit but I like how its turned out so far.

Hey guys me again, wondering how was it that we are able to play these maps with a friend, and is it illegal in any way to do that? If not I want to start playing with some friends because I know some who will definitely be up for it. Thanks!
