New maps for GSTL got final updates for the league. I sent mapfiles to EU, NA, SEA, TW uploaders, and those maps will be updated on server soon. I also sent GomTV modified version of Lost Temple, Xel'Naga Cavarns, Metalopolis.
Thank you again [SCC]Faust(NA), [wh]_ForAlways(NA), MeLo(SEA). Beta(TW) and specially thank you smileyyy(EU).
Below screenshots are from the latest version. You can see lot of changes; resources, rocks, terrains, rush distances, neutral supply depots or something.

Pre-installed destructible neutral supply depots to prevent entrance-blocking with two bunkers or three pylons.
You can see an example on Terminus RE.

They look way better than the 1.2.1 maps. Am I the only one who finds it ironic that they removed most of the gold expansions or changed them back to blue ? I guess the boosts proved a bit too much.
|
Props to GOM for really trying to balance the maps the best they can and making changes until they are balanced.
Maps like those look like the future of SC2 to me.

Awesome.
I noticed on some of the maps the expos have only 7 mineral patches. Is this with terran in mind giving them better income that zerg or protoss percentage wise with their mules to account for the larger map sizes?

These are all the changes I can see:
Crevasse: Scrap metal has replaced the rocks. There is a larger ramp from third to fourth base. No more rocks at third. Other slight dimension changes. Gold minerals changed to normal minerals.
Crossfire SE: No changes as far as I can tell
Terminus RE: No longer scrap metal at the fourth. Orientation of third base changed. Neutral supply depot on main base ramp.
Tal'Darim Altar: No more rocks at third expansion. All gold bases removed.
|
These maps are great. I can't wait.
I LOVE how they removed the rocks from the potential thirds on Taldarim and Crevasse.
They were just annoying more than anything.
|
these maps so big! 16 bases in a 1v1
|
is it me or Crossfire feels like a terrible map for zergs due to pathing and unable to spread out? (well, I dunno but I suppose should be fine with them since they like the roach balls)
Wow, I think Terminus RE is the most exciting map ^_^
|
Hmm it's great they fixed the bunker / pylon blocking but I find this a rather clumsy solution. Surely there has to be a more elegant solution?
|
wtb these maps to go on ladder. they look so sexy<3
|
is taldarim altar smaller or did they just remove the gold expos?

Having played it a few times, I kind of enjoy it, as a muta/ling player, bigger maps=more gas=more mutas!! and I can't be killed as easily by 2 base timings that hit before I have any appreciable number of mutas up. I can see your point with the pathing but it's too big to effectively control with a big death ball or tanks without some of them being undefended. Just my opinion and experiences though.

I don't think it will be terrible. It could be a good candidate for veto depending on what original ladder maps are still in the pool but its still a large map with lots of freedom to expand. Most of the current ladder maps have similarly dangerous terrain features, shorter rush distance, and fewer viable expansions to boot.
Also, if large macro based maps like these do turn out to tip the balance of the game too far in zergs favor then features like these that favor tanks and colossus may be necessary to restore map balance.

crevasse and crossfire look awesome :D
|
Crossfire looks unbelievably big
|
They removed the stupid rocks at the 3rd \o/ This is great.
|
I think those maps are great! But I already saw some games on them and from what I saw I am pretty sure that those maps change the whole balance of the game e.g. Protoss can easily take 3 bases and build up a perfect army against zerg with maps like these we will need a lot of balance patches...
