Nice banner, nice maps.

Btw on HBR has the main wall been path-blocked or are there some "traveling possibilities" (from the huge up-down ramp high ground).

Pretty sure you've already thought of this/fixed but better safe than sorry I guess.

Ah I see, I used an old picture there. No it should be all blocked now. I wanted to leave a small spot open for reapers but Stalkers would be able to blink there anyway. It's now all pathing & sight blocker.

Right, there's always something that goes missing

tau looks good, it's just like the original and i like what you did with the xel naga tower. one thing i never understood about tau is why that one bridge is wider than the rest.

On tau cross did you remove pathing so reapers cant jump into bases or harass the nat? Or do you feel that it will still be balanced with such cliffwalking units. Oh and if you want to aestetically improve it, you can go on brush, click merge cliffs and make the bridges in manmade cliff so it looks like bridges.

You have published them on eu or are they still works in progress?

forgotten paradise? not so much paradise with those tilesets XD

did you use the niflheim snow tileset?

All those walls are path blocked. I did this so people couldn't drop stuff on in and walk all over the place. Theres only 1 spot behind each natual where reapers can go up and down.

The thing with the manmade bridges is a good idea, but unfortunatly I got a bug where when I try to do that it just adds terrain. Also I think it doesn't necessarily have to look like temple bridges

Published on EU are HBR, Arathi, 2x Forgotten Paradise and Extraction Point, on US there are/will be shortly everything but Neo Requiem.

I used Meinhoff for the snowy style.

Due to the help of the amazing "used man" I was able to edit my version of Heartbreak Ridge to an even more original status. Well actually he did it all by himself^^

So the change is that, instead of the 2 mineral patches that block off the way from the natural to the 3rd on top right/bottom left and who had the value of 25 minerals which had to be mined off, are now destructible mineral patches that can only be attacked by workers. It looks like this:

So thanks again to used man for this work and the map is already reuploaded with this version (TSI Heartbreak Ridge) on EU for the case that you'd like to try it out, and will be soon on US.

Cheers
