Havens Lagoon RE

Concept and Thoughts
+ Show Spoiler +
I've had the itch to remake Havens Lagoon for quite a while. Being a TLMC finalist, and quite possibly my most well known map, I couldn't help but think that it didn't really represent what I could do. The original was made when I hardly knew anything about the editor. As a result, things like proportions, cliff work, and the aesthetics were by no means anything breath taking. With that said, the RE version was made from an entirely clean slate, all in an effort to make the map the best that it could possibly be. The only things I kept from the original is the name, general layout, concept, and lighting.

The overall concept of the increasing high ground is the same as the original.


Changes
+ Show Spoiler +
I've redone pretty much everything when it comes to proportions. The mains were rearranged to make for less airspace, the rush distances were slightly increased, and the over all flow of the map was made smoother.

Keep in mind my over all goal for the map was to make the original the best it could be, not make a better map with the same concept. Thus, the layout is nearly identical with a few minor changes.

Layout changes include:
-Rocks on the ramp in front of the forward fourth.
-Distance between natural and third was decrease ever so slightly.
-Natural was rearranged to better suit a ramp to nexus wall for FFE.
-Mains are larger.
-Less air space.
-The base at 9 was changed from high yield to normal minerals, and was lowered a level.
-The middle on the third level had to be redone as a result of stretching the map out a bit.
-General proportions with choke sizes and open areas have improved.
-Better aesthetics!

Of course, if you feel any other changes are necessary that don't entirely rearrange the layout, such as changing the natural to have a single choke, feel free to suggest them.

I really like this map when it first went through the TLMC, but I was wondering as to why the water on the map proper was removed.

I assume that's it's some issue with the editor being unable to use shallow water on high ground?

This looks really cool - how does the high ground keep increasing?

Looks really great. I'm glad all the water was removed. Not a fan of that stuff myself. The layout in this version seems solid, a bit of an improvement from before. Up to modern standards, I guess. Aesthetics look great, too.

Not too sure if i like the removal of the gold. It felt like a "perfect" gold. and kinda solified the hole "King of hill" theme. Holding the high center gives a bigger reward. Keeps one focussed on the goal.

And really if it turns out that Zergs taking it as a natural against toss is too much, then nobody has even been hurt by rocks on the 6th base.

I doupt it would be too big an issue through as the mining time lost from during such an early transfer will partly make up for it. Also stargate opening would actually just smash this.

I'll be interested to see a comparative between this map and Afterglow by monitor. Both of them are 2p on the same side.

As a note : I think you could make the lowest ground the brightest and make every other level gradually darker.

I am just a nub, but the third seems a little closed of, making it slightly to easy to get to three bases. Anyone else has the same idea?
I love.

I REALLY don't like more then one entrance to the natural, while it might be ok I think you should maybe put some rocks in one entrance, since nexus FFE is much weaker then a FFE with a wall.

Another thing is you did not post analyzer pics of the main to main, not very important but nice to see

All in all I like this map, liked it also in its older version I just love the concept of height play. By the way I support Otolia, playing with the light based on the height would look really cool, and make the map even more interesting to spectate. (also, it has a theme, like dual site with the light vs dark, here the concept of KotH is really cool).
