For example the original Lost Temple texture set. Why ? for nostalgia ,_, You can use whatever is in the editor that does not change the map status from Melee to Custom. | ||

Maybe Lost temple LOTV edition, with updated layout, but old textures and old doodads. Lost temple remastered. | ||

I'd like to see some ladder maps that use the purifier, the void, or Nova Covert Ops estate tilesets. The last 2 have never appeared in a 1v1 ladder map. Also, the beach and Aiur tilesets are overused. I could try and make my final map for submissions to be one of those, but just some concerns I see with one of them is purifier one is VERY hard to texture correctly and pull off as a map that is why I avoid using the textures. Some other map makers can comment on the tile set and the other tile sets, but that is my personal opinion on purifier tile set. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-maps/525959-2-chrysalis ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1teR9u8.jpg) I'm a first-time entrant and newbie map maker, but I threw my hat into the ring. Hopefully, I'll be inexperienced enough to accidentally create something unique.  | ||

Void naturally is very dark, and pros don't like dark tilesets. As it was already mentioned, Cybros/Purifier has alot of detail textures and very few good looking base textures. Since we can't recolor anymore, it's very unlikely we'll get a good looking one of those again. :/ Cybros however, does look good in combination with some other tilesets, like Mar Sara Ex2 and Shakuras Temple. The Compound Mansion ones aren't too bad, just hard to nail perfectly as they are interior tilesets. Their default lighting is weird too. I have a sewer map in the works, if that means anything. | ||

Their default lighting is weird too. . yeah the angle that the light comes in from is 180 from most lightings that have been used in maps thus far in SC2, hence the shadows of ramps/etc. are on the opposite side. It's super jarring. Def have to change the lighting if you start a map with compound mansion | ||

Think I've now got a layout I really like, although I'll still need to do some tweaking, especially once I start to add some aesthetics. If all goes well I'll most likely be able to submit all four of my maps this weekend. As always, I'll post my 4 maps with a short description & some aesthetic shots as well. Please guys, please post your maps here if you submit, it's fun to look at the competition and maybe you'll give some ideas to other people when they submit. | ||

I'll look forward to seeing your submissions if you decide to publically post them. Also, if you ever have any questions or would like some feedback feel free to toss me a PM. =) Good luck! | ||

Shit balance but looks interesting I have a feeling an scii map with that concept would be even more imbalanced than Fantasy was. Fantasy used Xeno Sky, Nostalgia, Gaema Gowon and Ride of Valkyries, not sure what an SCII map would use. I'm more interested in someone trying the concept of Demon's Forest in SCII. That seems like something that would be better in SCII than BW. | ||

Shit balance but looks interesting i had this idea a few times before, but haven't really done it yet bc i still have ideas in my head that i feel are more interesting. I definitely think it's a good idea though, take the good parts of each famous map and you might be able to stitch something awesome together if you do it smartly.

I think the problem with Demon's Forest in SC2 is that air units are already too strong and a forest of los blockers all over would just make them even more strong/necessary. | ||

Shit balance but looks interesting doing this is a lot easier in bw since all 4p maps are exactly the same size. on the other hand maps in sc2 can be any size, and the majority of the good ones are 2p instead of 4p, so it would take a lot more tweaking and fine tuning. | ||

Easily solved by scattering air blockers all over the place  . Not only would it solve the problem, it would also make it feel as frustrating as the original. | ||
