Welcome to my map thread of Sector 8! I am a fan of how Incineration Zone looks, but not quite as much how it plays out, so I decided I wanted to take the basics of Incineration Zone and make a better version of it. I am excited for some feedback, and of course I want some feedback on the terrain. Not how it looks, but where I should put it. Are some paths too small or too big, ect.. So please, don't worry about doodads and textures yet. =] And I forgot to mention, the cliff near the natural will not be pathable.

* Search for "Sector 8" on B.Net to play! On US Server only.

center tower poses to much of a focus of the map and the large ammounts of chokes means zerg will suffer.

I dislike the cliff near natural, for obvious reasons.

If the reasons are not obvious enough, I am not a terran player.

yea the cliff will need to go as players will imediately recognize it as quite the balance flaw. Other than that its great to see a lava map this quality.

I really like the gold and 3rd positions.

Looks good, but the middle could still be a bit more open. Also it looks as if you could siege the HY expansions from the islands. Not sure though.

Middle needs to made more open, the island expansions need to be placed further away from the mains for reasons regarding the Terran race, and the cliffs looming over the naturals need to NOT be pathable or removed. IMHO, if you make them smaller while simultaneously make the middle larger, you may kill too birds with one stone. Of course, the clifff would still have to be unpathable. It can be a cool Overlord chill spot. I <3 Overlord chill spots. Sometimes they just need to chill.

thank you! It will not be pathable. Haha And the Island could hit the gold, but I changed it up a little bit. And thanks! I wanted to make a good lava map. We needed one!

Yes, it is an Overlord Chill Spot! Not going to be pathable. haha And I don't know if it needs to be bigger... But what do you mean by making what smaller? The main bases or the island? Or just moving the island completely?

I don't know if the middle needs to be bigger or not. You can move through the middle with the watch tower. It just looks smaller because of those LoS blockers.

Yeah you could hit the gas, but I changed that now. There is a bit less room now on the Island. Thanks for pointing that out!

It will not be pathable. Mainly just an overlord chill spot because I think those are important to balance.

I don't think that chokes and small areas are a big deal on this map. Many of them are big and I think Zerg will do just fine on this map.

UPDATE!!! Major Update. Textured most of the map (besides the sides) and doodaded most of the map. Hope you like what you see so far and stay tuned for the final release! Ofcourse there could be updates if the final version is not perfect, which I doubt it will be. But I need YOUR feedback to perfect my maps!!! Thanks for all the support!
