You guys should really mark your starting locations. I initially read Castaway's spawn positions as the two desert islands in the middle and thought it was the stupidest map I'd ever seen . And on Lucentum it's not clear whether the mains are very small with a large natural, or if the small islands are backdoor expansions.

Other than that, great work guys! I love seeing what everyone comes up with for the MotM. Absolutely have to find some people to try these out with.

It's a two players map with a Shakuras style natural, a straight-forward path to the opponent and expands on the sides. Two islands in the corners, two gold expands next to the mains. Note the large amount of level 0 space, this makes drops and air harass very powerful.

Uhm - i don't think you can compete with this one. It's even older than my map that got exluded from the last MotM or does a texture (and slight layout) change really turn it into a new map?

Mmmm... its brand new. He changed a lot of stuff (altered most of the terrain) and also completely redid the aesthetics. I'd say its fine, and I'm not just being bias towards iCCup.

[edit] For proof, I also argued that your map be in top 5 last month because I could care less how old a map is. You can ask any of the other judges last month.

Well its my first map ever and definetly not quite done... might as well

Map: Auir's Craters
By: Glitch

Overview:
[image loading]

Description: My first map, intended to be a larger macro map.
- Playable size: 136x123
- 2 Spawn locations
- Easy to take natural, 3 buildings to wall off (ie. gateway/rax)
- Third base is similar to the low ground third on XNC, without the rocks.
- Fourth base, player has an option. The very risky gold, the safe but low mineral count corner, or the normal high ground expansion on the sides.
- Crater in the center holds the two xel'naga towers that watch over the gold expansions.

4 Spawn

4 Watchtower

I've been toying with the center star feature for a long time (see thread link below). I believe this kind of layout best suits it. Cosmetically, it has a darker lighting set - the entire map in entrenched in rain and lightning. GL!

Could you re-name 'Scars of Aiur' and add the TPW in there? It is a TPW map.

Hmm, about the Sanshorn Mist(s) issue + Show Spoiler +
Can you clarify if it's Mist or Mists? Old version was Mists, the map thread title says Mist but the OP of the map thread says Mists :D
:

good:
- it will be judged by some excellent people, especially LSPrime, so afterwards we know more about how good it is and how it will work
- it will likely make top5 and be played in the tournament which imo is very nice
- it will get more exposure as an excellent map
- old maps should be allowed cause right now this rule restricts quality kinda, also sometimes a map might not have worked 7 months ago, but is really good atm

bad:
- it's questionable that with the rule that is in place the aesthetic overhaul of the map is enough to make it a "new" map
- it'll be played in iccup nationvoice weekly regardless
- less chance for me to make top 5 >:=((( (reason why it 100% shouldn't be allowed. I need to be top5 :D)

This goes for me aswell .

I updated my map again, here's the updated overview picture:
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


I made the high ground going from the third to the fourth a bit wider so it won't feel as chokey as before. I also increased the size of the natural, this way it's harder to wall off from the ramp to the CC, Nexus and encourages to wall off at the choke going into the natural. Also I redesigned the middle of the map, instead of 4 small HY's there's now 1 big HY that's being blocked by a destructible wrecked battlecruiser.

- Large two-spawn with many attack routes and options for harass
- Slightly exposed natural, but possible to wall off for FE
- Valuable center with two vulnerable high yield expansions

Ugh, my sleep is going to be haunted by steppe lynxes now. D:

EDIT:
At least it's not Flagstones of Trol(l)kair. Now that really would bring back nightmares of steppe lynxes.

Twilight Overworld by MisfortuneS Ghost

Overview:
[image loading]

Map thread: Here.

Large-ish map with a focus on volatile expansion management, but also balance, and just looking cool. Rotational symmetry can have serious balance issues, but I composed this specifically so it wouldn't have any 3rd/natural expansion issues.

Okay, if I don't submit it now then I'm just going to continue fiddling with it until I break it. I think it's in the best state right this instant so here it is:

Cliffs of Acadia

[image loading]

Thread is here.

Cliffs of Acadia is a two player map designed with multiple play styles in mind. With 6 bases each (3 of which are normal blue expansions) along a fairly open and straight forward layout, both macro and aggressive styles have been accommodated for.

This overview picture doesn't really show off the lighting. It's a simple dawn/dusk dark reddish tint. I didn't want to go overboard but I also wanted to try something unique.

edit: Also, I'm just going to throw out my predictions:

Sanhorn Mist or Castaway take the tournament.
