Mountain Retreat 1.1
[image loading]

  • Players: 2 - 1v1 design, 9/3 starting.
  • Size: 156x116
  • Expansions: 14.
    • 6x 8 minerals expansions. 2 gas.
    • 2x 6 high yield mineral expansons. 2 normal gas.
    • 4x 1 high yield gas expansions. 6/7 minerals.

  • Rush Distance: 163.
  • XWTs: None.
  • Destructible Rocks: Four - Two protect the naturals at the north and south, but can be opened for a safe third. Two in the centre tighten chokepoints. Have reduced armour so they're not a nightmare for Zerg wanting a fast third.
  • LoSBs: Behind the gold and on the high ground nearby, to the side of the natural's ramp, and by the DRs in the centre.
  • Servers: EU


Concept:The initial idea for this map actually spawned from broken bridge doodads. It's a valley where two forces once fought, which should be represented by the middle.

It has developed into a map with a range of options for expanding. Aside from the defensible third, you have additional options in a gold and a quick stepping stone. Space control should be a big deal on this map.

Each peninsula is a funnel that both players can potentially expand to. Your opponents' provides an offensive angle, your own can be taken to make use of greater mobility.

Changelog:
  • 09/05/2011 - v1.0 - Initial map published!
  • 14/06/2011 - v1.1 - Two small expansions added to make the expanding process more comfortable. Distant expansions placed on high ground to increase defensibility.


Concerns:
  • Tanks, Colossi and PFs are going to have fun on this map. But I'm not actually convinced it's that tight. Will need some tests.

The zig-zag direct path is interesting, and so are those expansions in the upper left and lower right. They have one entrance but its a wide path that funnels down; I could see some interesting late game attacks on that base.

I think you should add an alternate base between the natural and the fifth, being overlooked by the main (somewhat like the fourth on Terminus.) And then perhaps raise the fifth (or previously-fifth) to the high ground.
all's fair in love and melodies

After a lot of thought, added two more mini expansions with a single rich geyser to the map, they fit in snugly between the peninsulas and other expansons.

A little concerned about tightness, but there should enough places to engage in more open space.

Feel free to tell me why this map is bad and I should feel bad.

When? Where? With an alternate entrance it's not easy to fully enclose, and the rocks aren't too hard to break with stray lings/zealots, as they only have 1 armour instead of 3.

Denying a fourth might be much easier, but that's precisely what I intend to test tomorrow. Even then, the gold and the 6 min/1 gas expo are pretty far apart.

Anyway, please detail. I'm probably missing something here.
