A Starcraft 2 map crossover (from Blizzcon) (I don't know map, it seemed like it read 'Phaeton' so.. yeah lol)

Being originally a 2v2 map, the balance issue will definitely be different. Consider that this was actually meant to be a 2v2 map before commenting!

Basically a remake of this map:


Phaeton 1.2
[image loading]


Changes from previous version:
- Main and Nat mineral-area slightly widened to allow more building space (defense near mineral lines)
- Fixed 11 o clock backdoor ramp position
- Added a slope near nat
- Tightened main ramp
- Ramp now wallable with 1 rax 1 depot (but still not ling-proof)

+ Show Spoiler [Version 1.0] +
Phaeton 1.0
[image loading]


Resources:
Main: 10M1G
Nat: 6M1G
Expo: 5M1G
12/6 expo: 10M2G

Features:
- Main wallable (but not zergling proof) with 2 supply depot and 1 rax. Impossible to wall with 1 rax 1 depot.
- Middle forest area gives blind vision - you have to get across the forest into the open area to have vision
- 5x stacked Xel'Naga temples that when destroyed (both you and the other side), will open up a much shorter path between mains
- Watch-tower attempt at 12 and 6 near center of map. Get on top of platform for higher ground vision.
- 12 and 6 o'clock semi-island expos cannot be fast-expanded by Terran (cannot build CC and lift into the expansion)

The ramp to the main is kinda wide, all-in-speedling should be fun

I decided to use a slightly wider ramp first (gonna play a few games later on this map, post here if u wanna play, especially 2v2s) but if there is a balance issue I'll readjust it to the standard ramp size

It looks like you can land the CC on the other side and produce an SCV to mine the patch. Is that the case? ;p

Nope, there are invisible obstacles

About glitching probes/SCVs, there is no fucking way to do it with protoss. You can do it with terran, but it is very luck based, you need your SCV to be in a exact spot in order to jump over. I managed to pull if off a few times, but I dont think it is worth it, there will be a lot of minerals wasted

hmm, i'd imagine it'd be hard for non-carrier pvt builds if both spawned at top or bottom
terran could turtle up his three bases with relative ease whilst slowly pushing into your main through the 6 or 12oc expos with the p unable to break the push b/c of ramps and a fairly narrow corridor

in fact i'd expect 90% of pvts on this map to use carrier builds

I don't think toss can win vs zerg on this map

But yeah maybe this is more suitable for 2v2..
