Sacred Path's design is totally okay, there are some other aspects of the map which would need tweaking (such as mineral counts and whatnot). I'll contact you via PM to explain the changes that would need to be made to make it eligible. Despite being open to Koreans, we only had entries for the first TLMC from them  it's worth reminding them that if they wish to enter then they're welcome to (particularly if they're not a member of Crux!)On March 29 2014 06:16 TotalBiscuit wrote: Keeping a close eye on this.

The only doodads they took out from Hab Station where some of the rocks/plants/vines that I had sunk in the ground. It makes sense when I think about it though because if you burrowed on them you would not be able to see the units. Plus, zerglings/marines were sometimes a little tough to see. Otherwise, Hab Stat has a ton of overlapping doodads and pretty much all those protoss doodads are moving or have lights and shit. Also, the weather I could see being a problem, since they ended up taking it out of Polar Night due to visibility issues, but everything else, meh, I'll be overlapping the shit out of doodads. I have some interesting ideas about this now that I've been thinking about it for awhile. Thinking about some fun 4p makes with some No-Fly zones. Although, making the no-fly zones bug free might be a pita. | ||

Although, making the no-fly zones bug free might be a pita. It's really just about keeping performance reasonable on a map for various hardware configurations. Many maps perform just fine with the art that is chosen. In our experience there are certain factors that can contribute to lower performance, so it made sense to offer some suggestions up front to try to help map makers avoid possible issues with the final map. I recently posted a general breakdown of the preparation that goes into getting a map ladder-ready. It's not an extensive breakdown, but it provides a glimpse into what goes on once we decide on a map that we want to use for the ladder. 2014 Ladder Season 2 - 1v1 Map Discussion | ||

Can't really predict what Blizzard will do. | ||

Oh, guess I really need to load up the Yeonsu thread and check it out. For some reason I guess I didn't think too much got removed. My bad! | ||

I made a really crappy version as soon as SC2 editor was released. I would work on it for this competition if it allowed 7 player maps. Either way, it wouldn't get into WCS though so it wouldn't be my main map. | ||
