Name: Temple Basin (on EU)
Typ: Melee 1vs1
Size: 156x160
Xel'Naga Watchtower: 3
2 Startpositions
10 more bases (2 rich minerals)
The temple in the middle of the map includes 3 Xel'Naga-Watchtower.
One in the center and two next to the center.
The tower covers the hole basin included thee rich mineral fields.
It should be hard to cover more than 2 bases, because of the much ways, you can avoid a turtle on many ways.

I don't understand the name, for a start. Dry Basin? There's tons of water everywhere!
I do like that it seems asymmetric but is really very symmetrical (so far as gameplay is concerned).
It does seem a bit susceptible to 1base all-ins, though. If it goes beyond 2base, it looks very easy to grab a 3rd and 4th. The Protoss inside me has always detested island bases, though, especially in PvT, as flying CCs with Missile turrets round the edges promotes turtle play. It certainly seems Blizzard agrees, as they now no longer have any island bases in their 1v1 map pool (AFAIK).

love the different terraining for the spawns

i called it dry basin, cause in an older version, there where no temple in the center. i just had a sand basin and because of the waterlevel OutSide the wall (south), i wanted to show a dry basin .
about the island thing: Well, i know but i like islands. Of course it is really annoying for a non-terra to play against a terra on a map with an island, but i had that space, so i thought an island would be fun  .
Maybe i will change it and build that part different.
Thx for the feedback so far!

I don't like island either..
And the statue on the right is not on the same place like that one on the left.
Put 2 golds in the middle and its fine (obviously not next to each other).
Like the terrain btw
Nice work

After a few hours of trying and thinking, i decided to make an exp without being on an island.
I also tried to set some gold in the middle, hope it looks good and is kinda balanced.
Btw. after I changed so much I also decided to rename the map, i think temple basin would fit much better now.
Anyway here are the new pictures.

Changed the first post with updates and new pictures.
If an admin see that post, please change the threadname to Templebasin.
|
I advice you to use the TL uploader for the images of the map and analyzer images.
Formats it the right way and the load is way less
|
Very well done map overall, like the fact that there are 12 bases, easy to hide a base.
I would like to see it on iCCup Map Series!!
Great Job
|
Thanks for the Feedback.
I just added some more HQ images and changed the Archontemple style.
Again: If an admin reads this, please change the topicname to "[M] (2) Templebasin".

i like the layout of the map alot.
but what i was missing the most when i played it were good overlord spots.
really didn't know where to send my overlords early game :D
|
First of all, thank you for playing.
Your idea made me think and i guess it was a good idea, so i added a pond and an abyss.
Hope u like the change and thx for the feedback
