EPTEdit - Sorry for my rant, there have been watch towers in some of the maps. I was mistaken. I still think they should be in most maps. Fighting for a Xel Naga tower is a huge part of starcraft 2 IMO. to each his own though. I realize some people don't like it.

Also I know someone very sexy (for once I don't mean Gretorp) is going to be doing some replay review on iCCup maps soon  !Is it Day[9]? That would catapult those Maps into the Radar of so many ppl I guess. And JP is a reasonable man - I think he should really consider using a selection of those Maps in the MLG-Mappool. IMHO, this would make the MLG-tournament soooo much better! | ||

Not sure what Blizzard's deal is, but hopefully they'll start phasing in custom maps that are popular (these), or at least take the hint and start making balanced maps. | ||

So yes, they have a place on some maps but I don't think they are a requirement on all of them. Destructible rocks have more varied uses as do gold mineral patches. I could see all maps having one (or two or three) of those three features but it's not a necessity to have all 3 all the time. | ||

until your maps are recognized by blizzard i do not believe it is a good idea to have tournaments switch over | ||

My only complaint about the maps is that several of them look pretty similar, 4 player with all the starts in the corners and gold in the middle of the map. That isn't necessarily a bad thing but I don't think the differences are that acute. No question that that pool is better than Blizz's current pool though. | ||

If Blizzard balances the game in a certain way that would make certain features of custom maps imbalanced, you can just balance the Maps based on the current state of the game! Besides, Blizzard's Maps are clearly imbalanced and favour certain races, you don't need to be a genius to know that Cliffs above the Nat favour tankdrops and small rush-distances aggressive play. You can't just w8 for Blizzard to hand us over the perfect game and the perfect Maps and I think that efforts of the community should be supported, not held back with posts like yours. Those Maps won't have ANY negative effect on Blizzard balancing the game, but rather show them what they need to think about when balancing the game in regards to bigger and simply put better maps. | ||

Ah yes I haven't got it up there yet, I'll take care of this tonight Thanks for reminding me 8) In regards to all of the debate over watchtowers, three of the custom maps in the map pool are BW ports and I am trying to keep them as close as possible. (The center on Fighting Spirit being an exception, I added the gold, rich geyser and rock and everyone loves the map so I don't want to change a thing) | ||

I hope blizzard choose some of these to include in the ladder map pool. Keep up the good work! | ||
