 About Tal'darim Altar I beleive the official explaination to it was that Blizzard didnt consider the average player to be able to understand the difference between 1gas/6min and 2gas/8min expansions and would make the game unneccesarily complicated. Blizzard have high regards for their players  | ||

The second expansion has been changed to include full minerals, but destructible rocks have been added to compensate for this base's increased value. We want players to be able to plan their strategy on an expansion-per-expansion level, not on a mineral patch-for-mineral patch level. We also feel that partial resources can be a confusing way to balance maps for many players and, in general, it's not something we want to do for normal ladder play. Link here | ||

And of course, Blizzard are being a bunch of snowflakes with their yammering about standard resources in expos, goodness gracious me... | ||

The only problem I have with them, is they don't seem to use towers/rocks effectively, or not at all from what I've seen. They seem to just ignore them and don't like putting them in their maps. Or am I mistaken? | ||

Towers are probably overused in the custom maps right now, and rocks have been used in all kinds of cool ways like on ICCup Testbug the rocks are on top of a tower so you have to devote some actions to accessing it.SC2 mapmakers are going to be the backbone of eSports in SC2 in my opinion.

Or am I mistaken? But then again, with everyone sobbing in this thread about rocks at the third on Tal'Darim, that might be a clue that rocks seem like a fun tool for designers but usually frustrating to players. | ||

LSPrime seems to have good English from his posts in TL. I do wonder if he posts them directly or have someone else does it for him. | ||

I tried to make Warcraft III maps also, but melee maps are not popular in Korea. Lol, this is why warcraft 3 never got as competitive as starcraft. Too many people played UMS. | ||
