Korhal Sky City [NA] 140x140 playable with 24 ramps + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AC1jkSF.jpg) As a side note, I've noticed that when I tried to place City debris, It has either a placeholder model or none at all. Is this an issue with everyone or just me? I've also noticed a while ago that certain Protoss decals would not show up either. If anyone knows anything about this, please reply or PM me!  | ||

154x122 Untitled ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/g5aK9WL.jpg) I probably would change more stuff / add some light aesthetics but it's getting late. This map embraces CS and expo ambiguity. 2 ways to expand. The normal third was originally an entombed valley third but I changed it a bit. oh and i should mention. the XNT kind of has an interesting dynamic.. if you're trying to be sneaky about taking the gold then you will want to deny the enemy from ever taking that XNT because it shows if you have that base or not. Also, it doubles as providing vision --> defense for those 2 bases. | ||

Name: ESV Inverse World Size: 152x152 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xzBmqhH.jpg) + Show Spoiler [boring pictures] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zaLGgy3.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZioDo38.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/16bJY58.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/a2wSLLl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/bSnLbqf.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/urqyAVw.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FT1AsUb.jpg) The name Inverse World ran into problems, hence the ESV tag. And, if you're insane, it's published on all servers. Exactly 11 ramps in each quadrant, so it's legit. The edges of the map take after Outsider, like Koprulu, only this map features 2 gold bases at each of the vestiges. Also a gold island expansion marks the center of the map. The only places a pylon can be used to warp into the edges are between the two mineral lines, and the main ramp is like the one found on crevasse, only smaller. So yes, no part of this whatsoever is standard. So MLG will obviously have nothing to do with it. | ||

Quakecomm, Congrats on your first map (It's miraculous compared to my first)! These Jams are definitely a good way to get some creative practice in. Here is my submission. It's not published anywhere, as it could use some serious adjustments. Particularly the main/nat setup, though most of what you probably have issues with is intentional Bracket Peaks 112x128 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fxHZwoil.jpg) It doesn't show in the overview, but the areas behind the mineral lines of the main and nat have line of sight blockers in them, inspired by Semmo's Breeze. Main to Main distance is ~210, which is pretty long, even though the map is very small. I'm hoping to encourage extremely aggressive, scrappy, micro-intensive games. The gold bases are all 2/3's, with 4 nodes and 1 hyg. This hopefully allows you to pick that third in order to be very aggressive, and then if it doesn't work out yet you can take another forward gold base to keep up the aggression since you get such a quick return on your investment. EDIT: There are 27 ramps per player :D EDIT2: NewSunshine, for some reason I want you to only put two geysers between the two gold mineral lines on each side instead of four. Just thought I'd mention it. I'll come back tomorrow to try to support why. | ||

I'd 100% be down to play like 5 games on this after I go to bed and wake up tomorrow (it's 6am here -_-). Those aesthetics are also pretty sexy. I'm really liking the lighter high ground against the grey and green midground. Quakecomm, Congrats on your first map (It's miraculous compared to my first)!

A lot of this map was very quickly done, it was actually about 4 hours start to finish. So a lot of this map could use refinement - hell, if it were to be a serious map it could probably stand to be restructured entirely - but I had a cool concept and hashed it out pretty nicely I think, which is good enough for me. I may revisit the idea for this map though. edit: though actually, there is some rationale behind the geyser setup. the reasoning is that since Terran tends to want the gold minerals, I'd throw P and Z a bone here by including the extra geysers as well. But as I said, this is just the first take on the idea, they could be rich geysers too, it's up in the air still. | ||

I like how the ramps are used to punctuate sections of the map, and the interesting dynamic for 3+ bases. Good stuff. Thanks, was thinking about changing a couple things on it and making it a standard map. It's definitely one of my better maps if you ask me. Had fun making it, but will probably change the aesthetics to something I can work more doodads into without obstructing gameplay. Voted for your map and Conjoined .Edit: I got more than 2 votes! It's a new record! Haha  . | ||

I'm not that happy with my map. Looking at the overview it sort of just looks like some things were thrown down on it, even though that's not how it was constructed. I've been playing around with some of the ideas and I still think that the small high grounds with multiple ramps coming up to them make for a nice micro-able structure. I'm a little torn between voting for NewSunshine, whose map I think is the most interesting, and Ruinsteel, whose use of ramps is more central to the map. Perhaps both? | ||

Topics submitted: + Show Spoiler +
2. Every time you expand to a non-island base you increase the number of chokes that you have to defend by at least one. 3. Ambiguous expansion patterns 4. Wide chokes 5. 6 xel'naga towers 6. Gold bases 7. Use of nonstandard resources, e.g. mixed gold and regular mineral patches 8. 2 maps in 1 9. Inspired by a WC3 map 10. Remake of a Blizzard Brood War map 11. At least 11 ramps per player Please let me know by PM if you want your topic removed from this list. Also PM me if you want to administer the next map jam; otherwise, I'll do the next one if possible. By the way, I'm very glad we didn't have to do #9 and #10. That would have been awful. | ||
