EPTI don't think the map is particularly broken, I still like it, I just fear it's kind of "played out" already.

First off i want to tell you that i am a big fan. Especially your post on FRB and circle syndrome are pretty much my thoughts worded much better than i ever could. But come on man, dont define a term by one of its effects, but instead by its causes. Like "distance of opposing players expansions increase as they go on" or something. | ||

I know 5+ bases is a long game but I don't like that Z has no way to avoid the issue, which necessarily crimps their ability to play a passive macro style, in turn truncating the whole tree of strategies for them and tilting the options basket in favor of the opponent. Bases being near each other is not a zerg disadvantage at late game. If you have not noticed yet, then ill tell you that lategame zerg army is not very mobile. | ||

As you were saying I agree that noah's might technically hold a decent winrate for Z but it would probably be through people always going muta and/or fast broodlords, which would get old quickly. Maybe we'll see though  @ what the pros said to the maps on remax et al, I can't take them seriously too often on the subject (a few do their homework, but generally.. no) as the only maps they've played on are the super super standard ladder/tourney stuff we've seen through the years. Anything remotely strange and they freak out without actually trying to understand the map. Probably the "weirdest" map they've played lately (barring the stuff in shoutcraft which a handful of pros have played) is inferno pools.. lol. | ||

It just goes to show that a lot of pro gamers don't really give a shit about maps and just hope blizzard puts in good enough maps. Then the best part is when those maps that blizzard puts in are imbalanced, then the pros start to bitch. Well then, how about instead of Huk and Naniwa just bitching about gold bases and saying they are out, they help us map makers out with better feedback so we can actually create some more balanced maps. But fuck it, who cares about maps, they need to stream and joke and fuck around to make $$$$$. It's depressing...it really is...when the progamers don't give a shit about maps when that's the one thing players can do that balances the game. | ||

You have seen nothing yet. I was working on this a few years ago. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zuIoR8U.jpg) ignore the No Forcefield thing. I was simply experimenting with burrowed, invisible, invinsible 1x1 ultralisks to prevent some forcefield bullshit. | ||

If anything I'm desperately hoping they become viable in LotV once Z finally has a decent forcefield-killer and choke abusing units. I've also been wanting to make stuff like that for a long time now.  | ||

Really hoping Terraform wins, Barrin basically explained why. Bridgeheads backdoor looks too wide and I dislike the fact that you have a highground to defend behind your third the way you stretch out vertically already. Noah's Arc is the kind of map I'd instaveto. I don't care if by some miracle it turns out balanced, I know that anytime a protoss spawns there on the ladder it's going to be a soultrain or some other brainless BO-shit that lacks any strategical interaction beween players and is basically a waste of time to play as zerg. | ||
