What close rush distances? It takes like 8 hours to get from one base to another. | ||

Except on Shakuras Plateau. I've been messing around with it for about 10 minutes and I'm convinced that it's impossible to do this without adding another building, which is a huge pain in the ass. Anyone else notice this? ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/1ZEKm.jpg) That's if you want addons. | ||

I like it quite a bit; certainly a lot more than Kulas Ravine, and a bit more than Desert Oasis. | ||

I actually think the rocks at the main are kinda cool, since you have to kill your own to get there if you're in horizontal. If you're in cross positions they let you get a Kulas-style third expo protected by rocks. | ||

Like if you can spawn only cross or horizontal positions it kinda means that in long run you'll play horizontal about 50% of the games. When not counting mirror matches the rest are true bo poker between 4 gate and vr rush. And to counter vr from charging from those rocks its probably best to destroy them and then toss pushes in with 4 gate from 2 directions since the rocks are down.....

the marines would have a hard time getting into position to defend tanks, while mutas quickly dispose of dropships and then tanks. | ||

For terran it might be a little more tricky against rays. Still, the terran must love all the potential drop abuse possibilities on here. | ||

Sure, there are abusable spots, but they're easy to deny, and getting your natural is SO easy, and that is excellent for a Zerg player. This is true, but that also means that Protoss can get up a second base just as fast, and they don't even need to devote minerals to a Forge to do it. I really have no idea what to do in that situation... I try to grab a third and macro up even more, but my army off 3 bases seems so much weaker than his off 2. | ||

its the best map in the pool. Like, hands down. It encourages and supports solid macro play, yet it still has some interesting features. There are things that can be "abused" by each race, but each of them has reasonable counters. Its a fun map, and at least IME so far, easily the most well-balanced in the pool. I think everyone screaming at Blizzard when this was added to the pool was 100% wrong. WAY better than DO, thats for sure. | ||

Apparently, you can spawn at horizontal or diagonal positions only. Of course, you can still use the nat-nat tank siege to deny gas but you wont be doing it from the cover of your own natural. awesome, but for christ's sake if they did this for this map why not do the same for metalopolis (which has the shortest walking distance between 2bases by far), and also LT (also really close, but not as bad as metal) | ||
