EDIT: Changed Name, Added D Rocks on top of D Debri so now its 4000hp for one base. Removed garages and placed 3 cannons instead. Revamped textures/doodads.
I wanted to make a map that felt like you were in a starwars environment. (picture awesome jedi battles or something taking place

Two paths
+ Show Spoiler +- Debris (2000hp) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/01lzk.jpg) - Garages (400hp) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/u0p2S.jpg)
Overview
+ Show Spoiler +
Basic Info: - Playable zone is 79x82
- 1 Gold base.
- 2 Natural expos.
- 2 Entrances into main.
- No watchtowers.
- Its not symmetrical
Other info:
+ Show Spoiler +-Long path has 2 garages (800hp) in the way.
-Short path has 2 debris(4000hp) in the way.
-Virus is a very small map, however due to the destructible objects in-between bases you still have the option to macro up in the beginning. (6pooling is quite hard)
-Theres one known imbalance so far, the top spawn while having the same distance from garage-garage, the distance from garage-debris is a little bit longer.
-Im not going to publish the map publicly yet but would still like suggestions/comments.

I like the tileset but dude that is the shortest pathing ever on those back rocks. you really need to stretch this map out a bit
I'm not entirely sure if you meant this map to be a No Zergs allowed map but how is one suppose to FE when you have rocks to your nat?
|
I don't want to be bad and stuff, I like creativity, but I agree with the post above.. this map seems so goddamned small and why the hell are you closed in your main?
If zerg is supposed to be always one base ahead of enemy then good luck!
edit - plus all the places are seem soooo tight, no open places, no surrounds. can you run this map through the map analyzer or how they call it

The map looks absolutely gorgeous, but I do agree with the other posters: way too small. All of the games are going to be one base all-ins and zerg won't even bother playing.
I say just stretch it out one expo worth and make the rock rush distance a bit longer (it looks almost like siege tanks can hit the main). Also, encourage people to take the natural. IMO that should be enough to make expanding actually viable, yet keep the claustrophobic, 'my base is up your butt' kinda feeling. Definitely keep the design though, looks totally badass :D .

Zergs have the huge advantage of scouting, the first overlord gets to the opponents base in like 5 seconds. plus you can always see which direction the opponent is going since there are so many places to camp overlords along the paths. and like ive said before zerg can safely get 15+ drones at the start since proxies really cant happen.

there's only 400 hp if you take out the garage. you can build 2 lings and the garage goes down in no time.
@barrin - yeah i do like that idea, maybe for my next map ill make it have like 18+ spawns haha but still make it tight
|
Can I see an analyzer pic? I can't see what parts are paths and what parts are elevated terrain :D.

I love the purple fog. It's very cool. I also like that the map is not symmetrical. I tried making a few asymmetrical maps and most people didn't care for them. So, kudos for trying something that isn't typical. It looks like an action packed map!
|
love the purple, like the rush distance, however I feel it should be starwars' type gate(s) and not debris or rocks blocking.

Oh thats a sweet idea! im gonna revamp those areas to make it like the scene with obi vs maul haha.

u should edit the models displayed by the actor of several destructible units to get something original (the doodad list is huge, the unit list is petite)
come to think of it you should edit the name to something starwarzy... what's keeping you?
|
I like that you used a consistent colour concept and didn't break it with doodads or such. Looks to me like you had a plan what you were doing. That's the way to do aesthetics, good job.
