Preface: + Show Spoiler +
In Sc2 either the map sizes are smaller or just the units and everything are larger, either way- it seems very hard to port a map very accurately because of the nature of the 3d/camera angle, the angle of the terrain tools does not match the exact direction of the isometric shapes in bw. The angle of the slant is much steeper in sc2 than bw.
So this is the reason why I have to change the layout so drastically. I will try to make a larger version some time in the future and see how much more/less accurate it will be to the original. As most of you may probably know, I played a shit ton of BB in sc and bw. I've written guides , made better versions of the map , and done a lot of work on the LikiWiki .

Unlike other map threads, this one is mostly finalized, (with just minor bug fixes, or little things changed for balance). So don't bother discussing how the terrain should look or what I should do to the map (except for the aforementioned). The main design layout is done, the deco is done.
I hope to get some players to play the map, 1v1s and 2v2s. I want to see what kind of core strats , base blueprints, and build orders people come up to see if this game (sc2) is actually balanced at the small scale level as well.

Anyways, here are the map pics (more detailed stuff further down)

(yes those are blood splats in the center)
(4) Small Blood Bath 2010 Version 0.8
- 2-4 players, in the corner positions.
- Almost uncomfortably close start locations. (84x77 playable area).
- Action fast paced map from start to finish.
- Main bases are 8x1500 blue crystal & 2x5000 geyser.
- Side yellow crystals are 3x3000 (6 per base).
- Center has slight LoS blocker in 'X' pattern.
- Short bridge and unbuildable land in the center.
- Wide chokes for each base entrance (about 9 squares)
- Space around minerals and gas for harassment
- Around ~20 second game clock time walk distance from main to main

Here are some of my ideas for basic Terran base setups:

Some things I think may be difficult for players on this map:
- Creep tumors spread across gaps (I could possibly find ways to block this)
- No tumors in the center (again, could find a way to do this maybe if needed)
- Pylon warp ins from across cliffs (I think I got all the spots)
- Tank Ranges across cliffs (This was even hard for most players in scbw, I think I blocked the tanks from hitting the side bases [but not minerals] at least)
- Baneling rushes
- 6-10 pool rushes
- Bunker Rushes/All in SCV
- 10 gate (or earlier) Chrono'd zealots
- Sentry forcefield rush/harass on mineral lines
- Protoss wall ins
- Tanks
- Colossus
- Bunker Salvage
I'm really interested in the great stuff you guys can come up with to address these things among others ofc.
Map is uploaded to US / NA Server. If anyone on other servers wants to upload to your server please do. I only ask that you don't change anything without my consent. Thanks

PS- Wasn't sure if I should make a separate topic in the strat forum or something for discussion of, well, strategies. So in the future any discussion may be move to that if one is created.
Also, If this map garnered enough attention, I would like to host a Blood Bath Tournament and stream it etc. possibly for 2v2s as well as 1v1s ofc
