The naturals you are intended to take I believe are on the edges of the map separated by a low ground with cliffs either side. They would only be easily attackable if you spawned directly vertical from one another which hasn't happened to me yet That is the natural I am speaking of. How could anybody with a brain think that the low ground section was a natural when there is an expansion leading down to that section? If it is in fact impossible to spawn vertically then it is OK. | ||

Because it was a macro map lol. Not saying I agree with it. (edit: This is a guess of course, because the only complicating element of community made maps is that they are all built towards macro intensive games, in other aspects, they are all simpler then most blizzard maps) | ||

I'm pretty sure that was a joke about how Browder said community made maps are too complicated to new players. | ||

What I'd like to say is that I like that not every map are the same. Different build order (6 pool might be very popular on Shakuras so you can attack before wall in) different strategy in unit composition to get an advantage, different unit positioning... You know the map, you know the flaws for your race and the advantage of your oponent, why not use this knowledge to your advantage and work on something that will get you a win? The map is the same for your opponent also. Of course imbalance where your start base side cliff is longer than your opponent one so your colossi/reaper have harder time to come up than your opponent shouldn't exist. I really like the iCCup maps, even if I'm not able to play them enough cause they arent popular, but I feel some of them just look the same with different position and different graphics and thus doesn't promote very different gameplay. | ||

All the games I've watched on Jungle Basin have been super boring. No clear third expansion means that you almost have to do a two or one base all-in. Either that or tank push and starve your opponent while they sit on only two bases. Shakuras looks like they took all the things people complain about with Blizzard maps and decided to make it into its own map. Tanks will once again make that map unplayable for anyone who wants to expand more than once. The short rush distances will make stupid cheeses the order of the day. Expect an epic rage post on the b.net forums tonight. I'm just calming down a bit so I can make sense. Go ICCup.Diamond!!! Fight the power! | ||

Must not be too small, easy natual, not too many cliff so terran cannot use tank too much, lots of place to fight so your never put in a corner... and list could go on. Each race we're given specific advantage and disadvantage (balance of this goes in another thread), but if a map expose more one of your race disadvantage or one of your opponent race advantage too far it's immediatly a nerf cry.

I think this is a good post. It's important that out of a map pool, there is some differentiation between the maps, so that different games in a series turn out dynamically different. However, you can arrive at that result without having maps that are badly balanced. I think iCCup is doing pretty good, with a reasonable mix of 2 player maps and 4 player maps, maps with a circular layout, maps with a vertical layout, etc. I do wish everybody would stop being all "OMG no base can ever have a backdoor with rocks!" or "No base can ever have a close spawn point!" though. I think it's important to have one small map in a pool, and important to have one map with a backdoor. Because you want maps to be different from other maps. And it is certainly possible to include these features in a balanced way. | ||

Why they don't listen to the community and add Crossfire to the map pool? Thanks Crossfire is a map where the entire middle is 10 different chokepoints. Amazing if the community consensus is that it's actually a good map. People really like beating zerg don't they? | ||
