Oh well, making them was fun. I like Emrel Coast and Southbound Voyager. Look like they'd be fun to play on, even though I don't do many team games. Same here, oh wells, make good maps for next time! I only had one layout I really liked for entry specifically for this TLMC with it's given restrictions, but I only perfected it with 2 days before the deadline. Make a pact with me -- we shall complete our maps and have them waiting in the armory for use in the next contest. Keep forging.

For 1v1 it is hard to pick... but I like Purifier, Catellana, Shrine of the Fallen, Providence, and Boondock wastes. I think the judges have a tough job this time. | ||

Plexa, please, please, PRETTY PLEASE add bowman's maps into your pool. They're usually amazing! So many good maps here I look forward to it. I haven't even glanced at half of them, so I'm sure the winning maps are going to be a great surprise! | ||

1. Coriolis by NegativeZero + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/YWXPIWw.jpg) Very simple with very clean aesthetics. Yet the idea of the far gold third on a 12 base 4p roational and the nat split are very intriguing. 2. Return of Samus by Namrufus + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WtnDTsB.jpg) Again really simple altho it doesn't look as visually nice from the overview. The way natural and third are set up however is so unique! Also noteworthy that this is the absolute rare case for a 3p/4p map where taking other starting positions doesn't feel like you take 2 free bases (natural and main) at once. 3. Purifier by Samro225am + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KxbCnKF.jpg) Certainly much more complex but the distribution of open areas and chokes, the many different pathways and the mix of rotational and mirrored symmetry makes for a whole lot of possibilities on this one. Also the aesthetics by Samro are stunning as usual. 4. Colonial Province by Timetwister + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/lz07SwH.jpg) This one probably takes the old standard of a turtly 4p mirrored and just makes it a little harder to defend all around which is great. 3 bases could still be static but overall the concept of the backdoor nat to allow all spawns won me over. Good to see someone reused Korhal Compound aesthetis as well. 5. Arcadia by Namrufus + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/JtAp4Wj.jpg) With the nat/third mineral line facing inwards right against the cliff defending three bases will be quite unqiue on this map. The island bases fit right in. In horizontal spawns there could defintiely be the scenario where you even skip that closest base and go for the island or the other starting position as a third instead. Overall just many map specific possibilities and strategies while keeping the overall layout very simple, which is great. 6. Shrine of the Fallen by lorestarcraft + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/k6xsLTm.jpg) Good 12 base 4p rotational. It has good aggressive potential early on, it has decently hard to take bases overall and it has some unqiue features but the terrain is quite simple really. I like it. 7. Hunting Grounds by lefix + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xXMekH4.jpg) This one already not made finalists in another TLMC but I still think it's great. Defending three bases should be roughly equal from every position but the real cool thing are those middle bases (altho Frost certainly did sth very similar later). It's a solid little map imo. Honorable mentions are IeZael's maps. If you can actually take your third on these they are quite good. Also Nature Spirit by NewSunshine, Foxtrot Labs by Uvantak, Jungle Remedy by Timetwister and etcetra's maps which all make a good effort but are not in my personal top7. Btw my top7 is definitely too green. | ||
