O.O oh my god, it's beautiful. Er, in terms of map layout anyways. This looks like so much fun to play on, and I particularly like how you have given players a possible 4 close bases without having to go through a single destructible rock. Obviously I won't know until I play a game or two on it, but it looks great.

edit: A closer look at the pictures, and I do like the aesthetics as well. It's not quite as flashy as other maps, but that certainly isn't a bad thing.
I put the sexy in dyslexia.

I would make the borders a little more interesting. Often, just by varying the scale of the doodads you have will achieve a much better look. Layout looks really nice!

Everything but the center is kinda choked up :/

Especially outside the natural there should be some more space to rally units (for either attack or defense). Other than that it's a pretty cool map.

I'll have to try this out.

I like the mixes of open spaces and chokes, none of them seem to be too ridiculously large or small.

Really like the expansions, openness looks very good.
The map does look very bland though, but I couldn't care less about it, the layout looks awesome!

I hope Blizzard would add some 3 player maps. This looks good.

It may have been a headache for you, but man does it look good. 3 player free for all on that map would bee great, its so well balanced looking. You definitely took the time to do it right.

Wow!! I'm def gonna bookmark this one and make my friends play a few on it!

Very very nice layout, nothing gimmicky on this map, just a solid design, and props on the 3-player map, not many look this good/playable!

Thanks man!

At first look, I see one potential imbalance (with a quick fix) on this map. The 3 main is extremely open from both sides by air units, with the 11 and 7 mains very close to the corners of the map. Additionally, the 9 expansion is right next to the left side of the map, where as the corresponding 5 and 12 high ground expos are very exposed behind to air. Possibly extend the left hand boundary of the map to widen out the vulnerable airspace near the left hand bases.

The mains arent really an issue if you consider they are all open from two sides, with a third side close to the edge of the map. This is what I was trying to do with the bounds.

As such, you are right regarding the middle expos, I have expanded the bound on the left side. With this also, originally the attack path from 11 to 7 would fly over the middle expo whereas the other two you could just fly around those expos. You can now fly around that 9 middle expo.

3 player symmetry ... *palmface



Thanks!

I was expecting a cup of Starbucks coffee when I came in here.

Great map though. I love how big it is and it's interesting to see more 3 player maps.

Hi,

Replay from a friendly game (~plat zerg v terran). Gives you a good idea of army movement in this map.

time to finish my three player maps, too

what i want to critizise is the rotational imbalance. hard to exoand counterclockwise when pressures just a little bit. also the golds looks really hard. you have to have control of the centre and at least two paths leading there, hence all three golds are winner's bases at the same time. unsure if this is good or not!

Update 0.10

- Removed rocks from (clockwise) thirds, extended far ramps on these bases to 3x wide ramps to balance with (counter clockwise) thirds
- Added doodads to gold cliffs to disallow dropping, rather than use pathing block; colossus can still walk up and around these doodads
- Minor bounds change
- Removed center doodad

I'd really like it if you'd sac the gold bases and replace them with some other terrain features.
