Turbulence 0.4 (still beta)Map changes:- Repositioned top-left starting's mineral positions (zerg drone mining inefficiency) - 4/10 o'clock's expo -> From 8M1G to 7M1G - Made 3/9 o'clock expo a bit more easier to defend against harass - Aesthetic Improvements + Show Spoiler [version 0.3] +
Info:
- 2 player map
- Slightly similar to Monty Hall/Shin Chupung-ryeong
- Features Line-of-Sight blockers
Line-of-Sight blockers?
Yes. They will block line of sight (obviously), meaning harass play and flanking will be important to taking the game on this map.
Some screenshots:
More of the line-of-sight blocker in action (and how it doesn't affect army flow)
These line-of-sight blockers will be on these areas:
With these, I hope that there will be more dynamic play and epic flankings and stuff going on lol.
Other specifics:
Resources:
Main: 8M1G
Nat: 7M1G
Mineral-only: 7M (1000 value)
Island: 8M1G (1000 mineral, 2000 gas)
4/10 o'clock high-ground expo: 8M1G 7M1G
3/9 o'clock expo: 7M1G
Others:
- Island has four 0-value minerals to prevent CC lift.
- Island's town hall should not be tankable.
- Natural's entrance is 9 squares/grids wide. (before destroying power generator)
- Natural has 1 power generator to help open up the natural's entrance in mid-late game.
- Entire middle route is unbuildable
Future changes:
- More deco
- Resource balancing
- More deco!
Downloads:
- Version 0.4 (melee)
- Version 0.4 (obs)

uhm, question, so the bases over at 3 and 9 are accessible via dropship only?

nope, they are accessible by ground units.
|
ah, so those are just really dense trees there? lol..
uhm, will the AI pathing screw up while passing through the tree line?
|
What you call "line of sight blockers" also block the units. In the end, there is only one quite narrow route in the middle, I don't see how that favors flanking.
And since the trees are blocking, the 4 expansions in the middle are only accessible via dropship/shuttle/overlord ?
I like the reverse cliff, we didn't see it for quite a long time (Requiem / Reverse Temple)

ok i gotta clarify,
although the trees are there, they are "sprite doodads", not the normal "doodads", thus you can just walk through them. thus, pathing ai will not be screwed/affected at all.
meaning you can switch entire armies between lanes at any point of time!
edit: what are you confused about? :O
|
this sounds like a new concept! but i have this feeling that too much of this "artificial" change might make the maps seem like UMS maps.
|
:O
So it appears that there are trees there, they act like trees, they block out sight, but they are not physically there?
What trickery is this?!
This is a really cool idea.

Doesn't the trees give a % of miss for units standing in them, like highground? If so, is that also true for these trees?
|
Didn't know sprites could do this. Nice find.
|
Cool map!
|
I didnt think it would shroud vision if you used sprites o_O..
