Hello...i've made few posts on here but i do dwell in the midst of all other starcraft players on this website...decided to draw a map...if you guys like it ill make it...will be my first one
no name yet
+ Show Spoiler +
...sorry just a rough draft...darker grays are the lowest terrain and lighter grays is the highest terrain...towers in the middle
tell me what you think
edit:
still unnamed map (will be taking votes on posters suggestions. ie twin skulls and whatever else has come out)
green is forest (some sort of foliage)
blue is water
dark gray is lower terrain
light gray is elevated terrain
+ Show Spoiler +
changes:
middle is now elevated
added lake at middle
elevated terrain near gold expos now have ramp on opposite side and destructible rocks on other (to promote pushing through elevated terrain
made some ramps wider for harder walling
|
just go ahead and do it! it might turn out great and it might turn out not so great but give it a try !!
|

Finally someone made something decent.
I like it, no excessive narrow paths, no 3 levels of terrain crumpled.
Personally I would remove the watch towers and the vision blocker that links from the nat to the valley
|
Looks really good! My only suggestion is to widen up some of the chokes other than the natural and main. Definitely make this a map!
|
Drawing a map first was a really good idea, more people should do this I think. Get good feedback before actually spending time on the map and should save you time overall.
I like it. It's pretty basic and nothing too fancy is going on. Seems to me to be a pretty solid map.
I'm confused as to what the blue lines are near the towers and gold expansions. Are they line of sight blockers?

Nat is looking scary. Skull.

thus the map name : twin skulls

the only odd thing I can see is that you have to set up defends in front of the choke so you can defend the ramp to you nat and the choke in to you main so you opponent won't just run straight in to you main. but I can also see that you might use your nat as you "main" and have better defends for that and you main as a nat and you can trap you opponent trying to rush in and don't risk loosing to much of your infrastructure.
Really cool ide for a map just go and do it and try it out. looks awesome.

Awesome map, finally nice to see a well thought out map.
only thing i would reccomend is having natural chokes more wide. it's kind of weird having your natural choke be like so narrow while the main choke is kind of wide.
guy above me read my mind

to TroopeR.ita - I drew the concept first to get everyone's opinion about the flow and balance as far as how the map looks now.
to monitor - I also think that some chokes might be too narrow but that can be fixed once i get to the editor
to Murkyith14 - the blue lines (with the little flares coming out) are the plant growth that blocks sight to one side and ...yeah that was basically my idea...save some time (its easier for me as an artist anyway to draw it on paper)

Explain why?
Posts like yours will always be crap.

I slightly dislike the natural, it seems easier to attack than it is to defend, due to the choke pointing away from the main. Maybe add a second choke or angle it slightly closer to the main, other than that.
+1, Seal Of Approval!

Looks like it could be a very nice map mate, good work!
A few notes:
The nat minerals are really far from the main on foot but really close by air. This will make air harass impossible to defend. I would recommend moving the nat minerals a little bit closer to the ramp.
Perhaps the ramp to the nat could be brought sliiightly closer to the main?
Try to make sure that the ever so imba "tanks on the low ground" don't have full reign over the center if a Terran has control of the middle valley.
Perhaps the two valley expos could have entrances with rocks on both sides? I love maps with nice flanking routes

Bad post. Would you care to elaborate?
