They don't do "crazy expansion" or "more island" stuff, but they have pushed certain limits and feature lots and lots of new details. | ||

I think by push the limits, he meant it wasn't a Daybreak or Cloud Kingdom clone. | ||

GLHF to all the participants, I tried the editor but couldnt get my head around it :p The judges did a fine job during the last TLMC. They picked the best maps for the most part. There were maps that were very non-standard that made it as the finalists. The issue is that there were also maps that skewed more standard and the public vote always goes toward the standard maps. If the judges are interested in pushing for non-standard maps then they need to only let non-standard make it among the finalists. This is problematic though because the judging process is democratic and there is also the question about should they allow an inferior map to make it among the finalists simply because it is non-standard in lieu of a superior standard map. Or future map contests could do away with the public vote. | ||

first of there isn't a (even close to) viable 3rd that can't be harrased by ranged units, and the middle is a pain to get across. | ||

I'm entering this contest, but the competition is way better than I am. Hopefully, at least, I'll learn and be able to win the next one  | ||

The expansion setup is quite unique with the forward 3rd/4th option, both in terms of paths to it as well as rush distance. The surface area towards the main/natural bases is incredibly big. I think what is quite unique is that it is a rather small/aggressive map, but while still having real macro options on it (unlike most other small/aggressive maps like Ohana, Antiga Shipyard or Bel'Shire Vestige which often just come down to 3basing until you run out of mineral patches, since 4th and 5th bases are often nearly undefendable). | ||

Yes I want to keep them: the idea behind the middle of the map is that it is visible/controllable - while the rush distance (3rd to 3rd) through it is actually on the short end of standard play. This should give players the ability to react to army movement early, while not limiting aggression through making pushing too hard by enlarging distance. I think, the matchups in which the towers are usually the most powerful are the ZvP and ZvT matchups. But since the middle is quite narrow, it means that Zerg can only watch the movement, but not really overrun the army until it tries to push out into the open. | ||
