Oh man, 3, 4 & 5 player maps only eh? Time to modify Darkness Falls since that was I think the last 4player map I ever made, haha.

Got about 3 weeks though, so I guess I'll try to get the motivation to create something new.

Probably just do some 4player maps though, 3 and 5 take too much effort lol.

Is it time for Fault Lines HE?


omg yes! It's your time to shine!

Is this for team games or just 1v1?

Also, I am making a couple of maps for the arcade, when they are in beta, where can I talk about them?

How crazy is Sacred Path ? Eligible for voting ? Dunno if i should submit it or i'd waste a spot.

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.

This has to be said? Jeeze

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!)

Something tells me the art rules won't be enforced much. 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.

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.

On the other hand Yeonsu had about 50% of the doodads removed. And everything else changed. Can't really predict what Blizzard will do.

Can we recommend maps for Clan War specifically? I've had an idea I've wanted to try for a long time, but it'll never pass for a ladder map.

Good luck you mappers!
Let's see fun technology.
You guys do it best.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

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!

Too many restrictions, I don't expect to see any viable maps out of this

I made a 7 player FFA map once

Someone needs to remake Seven Sins for SC2.

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.
