However, I believe that this arbitrage is far more offset by the macro ability of the player to keep constant worker production and expanding, pressuring, defending etc and thus will have minimal impact to the outcome of the game. | ||

This "bug" is something so insignificant that you people are splitting hairs. Stop nitpicking Blizzard maps and just play the damn game. That's not the point. The point is that Blizzard should fix these things, or put more time and effort into making maps so that these things don't happen. For me, it's more a matter of "seriously, Blizzard, you couldn't have put more time into making your maps perfect for me, the consumer", rather than "OMGWTF IMBA IMBA IMBA!!111!one". | ||

This is quoted for eternal truths. The community has frequently been the best solution to game issues overlooked by a developer. Look at the modding ability in some early and middle-generation FPS engines, which was utilized by the game community to spawn new franchises (and even genres). We have tons of dedicated mappers working tirelessly to create artwork that is occupied as an intergalactic battleground. They yearn to make fun, playable, and most importantly, entertaining maps, for both players and spectators! More active community support for custom map usage in tournaments would result in increased map exposure and distribution in casual or organized practice play. A more active community also provides better cumulative input towards the design aspects. Support your local maps. | ||

 [edit] The issue is that Nexus/CC/Hatcheries take up a square of hexes but the radius for placing the gas geyser is a circle. So some places are farther than others. The solution is to either copy+paste gases or to always place the gases parallel to the starting location. | ||

The last post showed that Tal'Darim, Daybreak and Calm before the Storm all also have this problem; it can definitely be fixed by the community but it is not only Blizzard that are at fault. | ||

Perhaps a simple fix would be to allow geysers and mineral patches to be placed out of the grid, and whatever square they are on count as occupied. ive thought of this back in broodwar because it had a problem similiar to this, this would fix it | ||
