P4ver is shy or lazy or something, so I'm posting this for him. P4ver was an awesome broodwar mapper at broodwarmaps.net (bwm). He won Map of the Month at the website several times, and had many 2nd and 3rd place finishings as well. Probably his most notable achievement was getting his maps (4)Shine and (4)Texcoco3.1 into the iCCup mappool for a few seasons. The following is his own post at bwm, these are all maps by Protoss4ever:
I did something like Arena Series.
(6)Sight Arena 124*124

In this map i modified the fog to make it like a sandstorm
(4)Wisdom Arena 124*124
![[image loading]](http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/2298/4wisdomarena.jpg)
The main thing in this map is the presence of xelnaga towers close to the main. So you can see what the opponent is building.
(4)Will Arena 124*124
![[image loading]](http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1106/4willarena.jpg)
Backdoor natural. The special thing here is the walkable but unbuildable water.
(4)Might Arena 150*150
![[image loading]](http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/462/4mightarena.jpg)
Mini natural in the main with a cliff. And map size is quite big but not huge 
(4)Courage Arena 124*124
![[image loading]](http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/522/4couragearena.jpg)
Yeah it's the map i posted weeks ago, just changed the name.
(3)Freedom Arena 124*124
YES YOU SEE WELL, IT'S A 3PLAYERS MAP. SHIT! P4E NEVERS MAKES 3P MAPS, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE??!!
![[image loading]](http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3486/3freedomarena.jpg)
Yeah my first 3p map ;D
It was really a pain in the ass to do positional balance, and even now, i'm not very happy with the result. I mixed 4 tileset in this map, braxis alpha, char, zakul'das, shakuras.
Xel Naga towers give a little vision of the main and nat's cliff(to do blink for example)
Well... 3P MAP BY P4E OJGHDOFUGPQGFQDFOIGDFOMIGJDFG!!1eleven!
Second wave of maps:
Patience Arena 124*124
![[image loading]](http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/1236/4patiencearena.jpg)
Semi-island map with 2 golden minerals in the nat to make an exit faster. I sense a blink stalker abuse here.
(4)Curiosity Arena 124*124
![[image loading]](http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6451/4curiosityarena.jpg)
Island map, outer paths between for reapers, collusus, blinkstalker...
kohral (unnamed map) 124*124
![[image loading]](http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2609/kohral.jpg)
I am very interested what gameplay will emerge from these island/semi-island map 
3rd wave of maps!
(4)Chocolate Cake

(4)Fountain of Youth
![[image loading]](http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/7982/4fountainofyouth.jpg)
(unnamed) (4)johnjohn
![[image loading]](http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9480/johnjohn.jpg)
I think [this] is an interesting map with plenty of small chokes and wide terrains(i.e. choose wisely your battlefield)
(unnamed) (4)tarsonis
![[image loading]](http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/3913/tarsonis.jpg)
didn't have time to discuss about this map. it's a very standard map, however there is totally unbuildable middle. (zergs may whine for creep highways) xd
(unnamed) (2)zakusdas

looks good!
Most of the maps I see on the forums have glaring flaws, and imbalances. These maps seem well balanced, other than island maps (which I have never considered balanced)
|
I don´t like island maps but the other maps look great!
Freedom Arena is my favorit ;D
|
since the op post is not mine, i edit this one to post newer maps
(4)Legacy Arena
![[image loading]](http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7114/legacyarena.jpg)
This map is obviously inspired by legacy of lee/char
(2)Paranoid Android
![[image loading]](http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5923/paranoidandroid.jpg)
well, sc2 remake :p
xelnaga tower on the big bridge which gives vision of the small bridge
on this map, all the terrain is buildable
|
some maps seem to "IZ-ish" too many chokes and cliffs...
|
i like the courage arena a lot.
and might arena looks like a good 2v2 map

i agree with this tho. a few maps feel too narrow. would take a long time to get around and you'll be forced to conga line to your oppenent all the way.
but having said that, they all look really pleasing to the eye. a lot of work has gone into this.
i'm guessing a 1v1v1 is freakishly hard to make symetrical
|
Nice! But I gotta say, that "Patience Arena" will be ridiculous against a T, as they can just fly with their base to their nat and mine it out very quickly, then harass with marines.
|
I think I just jizzed, Beautiful, they look very nice love the first one for a custom game with friends XD - most of them look pretty small, but I'd like to see how some of them play first.
|
Wow. some of the best maps I've seen by a long way.
Especially Courage and Might!
|
Protoss4ever sure is a talented mapper, almost all of these maps looks very fun to play(and least said beautiful in terms of deco)

You worded that perfectly my thoughts exactly ^^
|
Really nice looking maps. You'd better keep them coming. :D

Wisdom Arena is by far my favorite just for the different use of Xel Naga towers.
|
Interesting set of maps. I like Freedom Arena (well I like 3player sc2 maps) though I'm not sure how that particular one would play out in practice. Fountain of Youth seems like it would be fun. I like them all.
|
I really like Chocolate Cake. The middle is so involved, it feels like a labyrinth. Since there's really no room to ball large armies on the thin paths, the map would reward players who play well tactically. Those who would split their armies and flank, pincer, and even give their opponent the slip would prevail.
Looking forward to it. 
|
I'd say Fountain of Youth is teh best made 
|
|
|
I like the aesthetic aspects of the maps very nice.
