When it only takes 15-20 sec to reach your opponents natural, there is no insentive to take possition in the middle when you could just chill by your choke where your re-enforcement are closer. Otherwise, maps like desert oasis makes it very dangerous to venture out far in fear of counter attacks. There's a 50-50 chance your opponent will end up taking the other route and it just turns into an elimination race. All you need is 2-3 cheap unit in the middle to scout expos and towers. I don't think any map is too big and DO is o dangerous to move out cuz of the 2 different paths... | ||

Or a T that pushes out with 4-5 Thors with mass Helions. Mind you, this can be done quite quickly so that the advantage of having extra bases hasn't kicked in yet. lol maybe i'm just noob but yea =S | ||

Plz ppl - read the post's before you start writing stuff we've discussed 10x before in this thread. It's not about expanding or getting single Units out on the Map, it's about constant movement and holding positions on the Map without necessarily attacking or expanding. | ||

giving the player some real good incentives would really counteract this. watchtowers could be made more interesting (like only revealing the map in one direction, but farther.). High ground advantage HAS to come back. it is just so extremely sad, that all maps are basically flat with some minor obstacles. (high ground is either an extreme advantage or no advantage at all...) they improved the design possibilities with rocks, grass, watchtowers and yellow minerals, but just took away the most important thing in mapdesign: high ground. | ||
