Pathfinder: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/z09AjoD.jpg) Why this map over the sand one you may ask. the decision is first, the sand map is too small and the flow didnt really come across how i invisioned it. second it has nothing really ''new''. Pathfinder is indeed something special in several ways. first its a three player map ! second it features a totally different design to any map every build, putting the mains more or less in the middle of the map, making air play unbelievable strong, specially in sc2. i want to see how that turns out. and last if you play ground units the flow is amazing. extra point: its by far my favourite design i every came up with / recreated. New Polaris Rhapsody: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DpxvFwm.jpg) This Map uses the Lava rising mechanic from the campaigne, it raises the lava every 5 minutes for 10 seconds and floods the complete lowground of the map, destroying every unit or building (flying units excluded). I decided to use it on this map because the lowground is only around 25% or the complete map, after changing the naturals and place it at the same hight as the mains. | ||

Wings ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/7h1xtwy.jpg) Unfortunately it looks awful in this pic without any fog. I think the concept of this started as a sort of reflectional crossfire. Fairly happy with it, and I'm glad I got to enter something with gold bases. Shrieking Breeze ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Bx1Dl7o.jpg) Maps like this with two entrances to the main have been tried just a bit, and discussed some. This was my take on it in a 4p map, and using the collapsible rocks which we of course didn't have back in the old days. I feel it could be quite aggressive or quite turtly... potentially broken in either direction, but hopefully it's balanced out and creates diverse games. Since these were pretty last-minute, I haven't done much as far as publishing goes. If they're good enough I'll continue forward with that, which means map threads, publishing on all servers, test games and going through QA and ESV testing procedures. Depending on how much time I'm able to put into it. | ||

It means it forces protoss to think up new styles to deal with the added threats, like on a map where drops are insane, phoenix's for example. I mean Collosus/Pheonix used to be a thing long ago, why not now? You also have Recall for ground based stuff.We should be looking for maps to push new styles and new balance directions, not stick with what we already've had for 3 years which just isn't entertaining enough. | ||

A big part of why WoL turned so lame as well. We shifted to more boring balanced maps instead of forcing the players or blizzard to adapt. Mostly because we weren't as patient as blizz was with balance back in 2011. Protoss was having a hard time taking thirds and we started moving the third bases closer then. Protoss requiring particularly close together bases has been plaguing us for years. We just gave into it, and so blizz had no reason to change anything to fix the problem. I hope these sorts of maps start getting used, stubbornly, and if players can't adapt we'll need patches, and we can finally be rid of the limitations. | ||
