EPTI think it's cool that they finally allow to have stronger economy again, but i'd prefer to make stronger economy the standard instead of a gimmick.

Clarifications/Changes: Rush distance for Rush maps has been changed from "about 35-50 seconds" to "about 35 seconds". The definition of Macro map has been changed to: "A map that favors defensive play and encourages players to reach end game unit compositions." New Rule: You may use permanent neutral abilities onto all maps such as Force Field or Blinding Cloud. However, note that if these features cause performance issues on lower end computers, these maps may be edited or not considered for ladder. | ||

I believe last time they allowed up to 5 submissions. Unless my memory is playing tricks on me. Of course 4 is plenty, especially with the short time before deadline, so no complaints here.

Anyway, if you like maps that pretty much stick to the status quo then that is what the macro category is for. You should look forward to those finalist maps. | ||

This is incorrect - we have never allowed more than 4 submissions, and the last TLMC had the same submission restrictions as this one. | ||

Someone tell the brainiacs at Blizzard that not every macro map is required to provide a free 3rd base to turtle on. | ||

Also the Rush category is a bit ambiguous with rush distances as long as 50 seconds. | ||

HotS seconds right? Cause there hasn't been a 2 player map that took longer than 50 seconds in lotv (just tested apotheosis and it's ~48) Even 50 HotS seconds isn't really a rush map imo, it's basically the current map pool except for paladino. | ||

Yeah that's terrible that macro maps need to have an inbase-nat. Not sure what the thought process is behind that.. @above: Just watch some dusk towers games to see how to turtle on 3 bases. | ||

Ah i missed that the macro category maps HAVE to have an in-base nat essentially. Not sure I'm a fan of that; you can definitely make a macro-favored map without one. Hmm. What category do "normal" maps go into, exactly? edit: considering "normal" maps make up probably 80% or more of maps | ||

And yes 3 base turtle is a thing, and I don't want to see defensive mech being made stronger, it's already boring enough to play against. | ||
