Removed two awful maps, replaced them with two equally awful maps.

Pretty depressing after the TLMC...

I think the maps are pretty good. The desertish one is really hard to defend your natural against runbys vs. zerg however.

The desert one looks like a nightmare, haven't they learned their lesson with the dual-opening-to-natural thing? Otherwise, I forsee a TON of 4gate proxy pylon (and rage to accompany it) on the area rock'd off by the natural.

On Arid Plateau, has any one playing TvT run into the problem where they siege your natural from that side path and you cant attack back? Very infuriating since the layout protects them and hurts you.

I've seen some people claim FFE isn't possible on Arid Plateau and also some people who posted bad wall-offs that have holes in them.

Here's one I did that has no gaps: [image loading]

Here's another one that is probably a bit riskier in some way, but looks okay and has no holes either, even without a zealot needed. [image loading]

This one starts at the ramp (so should be safer against early pools): [image loading]
The second gateway makes a full wall, otherwise the cannon is good enough and leaves a spot for a zealot or probe to block.

You can just patrol a drone up and down.. Just like you do for your ramp.

So zerg should just have 15% of their drones on patrol command? yeah, no.

i dont mind not being able to ffe since i dont like that build anyways. side paths are annoying as balls but can be dealt with. the main issue on the new maps that i've seen so far is what someone mentioned above about tanks below the main on arid. not so much of an issue for me as a toss, but tvt and tvz that would be really annoying

I said this would happen around 20-30 pages back before the maps were even playable because it seems like such an obvious exploit. It'll be even more common for 1/1/1ers in TvP and for those 10-12ish minute marine/tank pushes in TvZ. Literally, I want to see a 1/1/1 against Protoss through that choke, it'll be worse than Xel'Naga Caverns. The only way to attack into that position is to either go around or attack into two tiny chokes, which obviously favours the tanks. It's such bad design and it doesn't even require a knowledge of map design to see it.

I don't know why anyone would attempt an FFE on arid unless they knew for a fact their opponent would rush or were willing to put 3-4 cannons down. If the gateway near the ramp falls lings will flood in.

Sure, let's have Zerg patrol and lose minerals to prevent terran from abusing the map and getting a free win without any risk whatsoever, like in the good old Jungle Basin/Steppes of War times.

After playing a couple of ladder games on the new maps, I definitely banned them. They are horrible.
