I checked to see if this is covered in the thread, but I've heard that the walk distance for close air is actually longer than cross positions on some (all?) maps with 4 spawn points. Is that true, and if so for which maps? Also how do I go from distance (in map cells) to time (in game seconds)? Divide by the unit's speed as listed in Liquipedia? | ||

I could generate a side table or image just for the rotational symmetry maps if you consider this data particularly helpful.

I do know that Shakuras is like that, though, but it is because it has a very unusual (and subtle) layout. Go to the OP and check the last spoiler called "Wacky Shakuras." You'll see that the 4 spawns are a rhombus meaning the top-left spawn and bottom-right (we normally say cross for this, right?) are on the shorter path across the rhombus. This path is shorter by ground than going to the close-by-air positions. NOW, if you spawn in the other cross-positions (BL and TR) its not true anymore, this spawn is longer than the walks to the close-by-air positions. Capice?Thanks for updating this for the new map pool!

What I think would be the most useful as a measuring tool is main - nat, or more likely choke - nat. Choke - nat is basically what you need to know when making decisions about fast expanding - how fast can a one-baser try to punish my FE? | ||
