Also, I would like to point out the Typhon Peaks is an awesome map. I played about 30 games on it and most of them were mid/late game oriented. You can take a third relatively easily. I see it as a mix between Shakuras and Xel Naga Cavern. Can't understand why it seems so disliked. | ||

Something tells me Aggressive is like Steppes (completely dumb for Zerg) and Metapolis is intermediate (1/3 chance of getting unlucky with close positions). | ||

I am not sure if it's good for the game to have categories be about their orientation in regards to macro; that should be the default (according to me). Honestly I'd love to see some island maps for SC2, just to see how they're handled in this game. Not the best choice for BW obviously, but that's no reason to not even give it a try now. I like the idea of categories though, if I'm understanding what they're doing correctly. I think it's good to separate them for newer players to know which style each will (probably) play out as. | ||

It's kind of frustrating that Blizzard doesn't realize people can play aggressively on larger maps. | ||
