Teamliquid Map Contest 8 - Page 8

===Description:
A medium sized 1v1 map using natural green textures, blended with wood to add further visual clarity to the map as you play. The theme was inspired from a classic Broodwar map named "Medusa." So naturally, it borrows elements that made Medusa exciting, game-play and flow wise.

Players expand safely with many options for a potential third, however, if the player chooses the more safe natural as his/her first base, they are limited to a 1 gas environment, which could be a clear tell of a potential early-mid game rush tactic.
Moving on from the safety of your cliff-zone requires active map play, utilising xel naga towers, as the natural progression of bases quickly opens up a vulnerability at your destructible cliff wall.

Ophilia demonstrates a multitude of options, new and old, for nearly any style of player.

===Distinct Features:
1. Wood texturing and high attention to texture detail
2. A brand new yet still comfortable and varied flow to the meta
3. Visual Clarity
4. Unique bases
5. Use of destructible beast
6. Likeness (in translation) to Broodwar map "MEDUSA"
7. Very entertaining games
8. Redesigned wall off patterns
9. One gas at suggested natural base

===Resource Usage:
There isn't much altered from the original melee component of the game.
1. Back door rocks have HP lowered to 1250 from 2000, to give more purpose towards committing T1 units to it.
2. Suggested Natural is 1 gas, to counter base safety by limiting technology.
