Introduction/Inspiration:
I loved the way Johanaz made the borders of his map "Crimsonite" and felt a burning desire to make that work for an entire map, where the lava actually comes very close to the player's units and buildings. Also my previous map "Arid Mesa" was to big in my opinion, that's why i went back to study popular maps like Metalopolis and Shakuras Plateau. Those turn out to be pretty one-dimensional which offer moderately difficult to take expansions and make it easy to split the map in half. So i tried to for a similar design.
I also played quite a lot of WH40k - Space Marine while making this, which resulted in the industrial look of the bottom right.
