Yeonsu's aesthetics are pretty on the overview, but while watching the TL-Open, it looked like in-game the grass and high contrast between regions made it hard to see what was happening, and I found it quite confusing :/

I was desperately looking for a map with mineral only expansions or an expansion with only 1 gas or some sort of gold mixes Anyway Khalim's seems like the best and most innovative one.

Not surprised nobody is mentioning Insidious, because it is pretty dark. But imo it has the potential to play out some amazing games, it is like a larger, more macro friendly version of Belshir Vestige. Even better, it is hard to maintain the 3rd, but once you do, it is easier to maintain the 4th, which I think is a great design feature.

DF Yeonsu has the nicest tileset (im a fan of jungle/grassy tiles in general) but theres too much room between the bases and the 4th is too far away

khalim looks cool too, its by far the most innovative map.. which is why i didnt vote for it . it probably has alot of balance issues (same could be said for kropulu but to a lesser extent), i applaud the mapmaker for thinking outside the box tho

I voted ESV Ravage, nice and clean.

Dear Map Makers: Stop trying too hard with the textures, some of these maps are hard as hell to 'read' cause of how stuff you got going on them, a lot of the time in design- less is better.

my personal favorites were:

1)Ravage
2)Kropolu
3)Keru

with honorable mentions to insidius and Strangewood

insidious + jungle tileset = win. i hate the current tileset but the map layout is rly nice. of all the maps it probably has the best expo layout

1)keru 2)ravage 3)kropulu 4)insidious, i would bump it into my top 3 if it had a better tileset. balance-wise these 4 maps are by far the best

As a Masters player (1100 pts) I think one of the most important things, even going past balance, is the aesthetic of the map. When you play at a fairly competitive level (yes I'm not the best) the ability to repetitively play a single map goes beyond just the strategies you play on them but as well as the emotions you feel playing.

Example : Daybreak was questionably one of the best and most balanced maps which had some of the most unique playstyle variants available yet I had trouble playing games on it (similar to cloud kingdom) just from the point of view of looking at the map.

For this reason
(2) ESV Ravage
(2) DF Yeonsu
(2) TPW Keru

These three maps are (from the little play I've had on them) some of the nicest looking and fun to play on. I would rank these as my favorites.

Sidenote: Keru is almost an exact copy of neo planet S with the center circle shifting to more reasonable expansions (no one ever takes center of neo planet S) but the entire outer edge of it is a duplicate with slight variations (ie third removed while shifting the center expansions from neo into a more reasonable layout.. It is a much better map and as such I think it's also on my list of maps to pick. It seems to encourage more diverse play styles.

I agree with the point on textures, it's just I think it's funny. People have only spelled that name correctly like twice.

Missed the vote deadline, but if I could have voted I'd probably have picked Keru. I also like the BW-inspired idea behind Koprulu, but I think in practice it would just be too positionally imbalanced in this case.
