IMRandom, could you please replace the map in the OP with this one? Thanks. The crucial difference is the lack of destructible rocks at the backdoor expo. | ||

Also, why did they change Antiga to cross position only? I like the idea of snowy Bel'Shir for winter  neat little feature.Also I like removal of Metalopolis, it was way easy to turtle there. | ||

Other than that, nice changes to the old maps and hopefully the new map isn't as ridiculously bad for Zerg as it looks. Not too sure about removing Dual Sight golds though - the whole hidden gold base strategy is vulnerable to scouting, which should be being encouraged, not made less important, and it was becoming way less useful as players realised that, hey, maybe they should actually know what's going on around the map. | ||

No I think it's the fact that the gold bases in awkward places on the map don't really help anyone, and in the case of antiga (even though the removed close spawns) it is a shared 3rd or 4th base. It's not because of MULE that T gets better use of gold bases, its because T can defend and attack them much easier than the other races since they are in shitty locations. (although saved up energy and MULEs obviously is a counterpart as well). And actually in the case of bel shir, terran pretty much has to take the gold as a 3rd. Now that its blue, they can opt to take a further away base instead for a positional strategic option. I don't think I like that new map, backdoor bases always seem to be terrible for zerg. Protoss will FFE and then take a 3rd whenever they please without a problem. And Terran will double expand every time. Zerg can't really triple or quad expand in either circumstance to make up for it (especially since there are Drocks >.< ) Zerg is the worst race at dealing with DRocks as well. Stupid armored rocks. | ||

No, gold are removed because of zerg fast expanding there with impunity in the first place imo (TvZ on crossfire, PvZ on antiga). As a side effect bonus yeah it's good for terran balance too. Good changes, but I'll wait and see how the new map will be played. I'm usually not a fan of maps like the new one. But the removed maps are a good thing | ||
