Blizzard needs to understand that putting 20 bases on a map doesn't make people expand more and use more of the map.

People will just keep ignoring half the map as if it were just international air space.

Pfft, this map is going to be FFA map too i bet.

If they want people to use more than the map then they need to do what should have been done ages ago and have only 3 bases per corner.

It's the only reason why I liked Antiga since it forced you to move to the other side of the map to take a fourth. Even Entombed wouldn't have been too bad had they not had the dumb as helll fourth bases which should've been mineral only between the two spawns.

Fighting Spirit to map pools lol :D?

I hate games on BelShir. It mostly finishes after one fight.

I prefer games on huge map like whirlwind.

Me too. It's nice have maps where you can be greedy and sneak a base.

It would also be nice to have small maps as well.

Holy shit.

Why don't they add more Warp Prism buffs and maybe make Gateways cheaper? That would seem to satisfy Blizzards goal of making Warpgate the most abusive and powerful mechanic in any RTS.

Is it just me or do you obviously always have an advantage over the base clockwise of you (their in base natural expansion is exposed by air, yours isnt)?

I don't think they get it...



You are correct, sir. Although it is arguably a very small advantage.

Looks like a pretty good map by 1998 standards. Just a nice large, dead, flat 2D space. Perfect for sitting in your base for 15 minutes, staring at your structures, robotically executing build orders you read off the internet. Should be an immediate hit with casuals and spectators.

:'D

Your statement in context of this topic was about as out of one as you could get. And i do hate Protoss as race.
Ah yeah, never mind, good baiting though.

Alterzim Stronghold (we’re pronouncing it ‘ahl-ter-zeem’) is a four-player map, designed with the specific goal in mind that all combinations of 1v1 spawn locations are viable and don’t offer an advantage to any one player.


that's not how four player maps work unless you're breaking the laws of timespace


This, looked at the map architecture and depending on spawns there is still rather obvious advantages to having one spawn over another.
