Surprisingly, this isn't a CardinalAllin map lol. I've actually made several team maps in the past for LAN games with friends, but this is the first one that's decent enough to publish in my opinion.

The main idea/theme for this map was keeping control of the central ascending high ground areas, similar to maps such as Blue Storm and Match Point. The map is very macro-heavy for a team map - there are 12 gas expansions and 8 min only expansions (not including mains). To compensate, resources are slightly reduced - each main has 8 mineral patches and each gas expansion, including naturals, has 6.

UMS mode must be selected to enable shared bases.

Version 1.0

Changes:
Version 1.1:
-Increased size of mains (shifted some other terrain around to accommodate this)
-Removed min only bases in naturals (should also make more room for production facilities there)

Beautiful map. Its honestly been years since ive played a game with teams bigger than 2 players, so i cant say anything about how it would balance, but I really like the detail you've put into it.

looks great!

the main bases seem a little close together, though.
Have no fear, the land is near

It needs more place in the main. How can a non-zerg build in the middle of two zerg allies spreading their disgusting creep ?

Cool! Im going to give this a test run now on ICCup, looking forward to it. My username is the same on ICCup btw.

@Darksoldierr,

The reason I personally like fixed spawns is for balance. You dont have to necessarily share a main and you dont have to even be on the same side of the map, but what is important is that it is fair for both teams, and obviously random spawns goes against that.
Its exactly the same in 1v1 though. 2 player maps are the best, 4 player mirrored maps come 2nd best, 4 player rotational maps are significantly worse and 3 player rotational maps are a bit worse again. They have inbuilt imbalance depending on spawns.

Personally I prefer fixed spawns but I also like random spawns aswell occasionally. You might be interested in these maps:

Its kind of a push map.. the discusting slime wont be a problem anyway, instead the poor little dogs and hydras will need to worry about gas fumes and gunpowder clouds covering the air as the debris fails to settle from the endless tank slugging.

far less punishing on noobs making crap builds. if you fuck up - your teammates are automatically there to hold your hand so it is far less anxious for noobs to play

Awesome looking maps. Has anyone thought about organizing some sort of 3v3/4v4 night where we can gives these maps a run?

This was in way before SC2 ever came out. Take a look at one of your 2 [Allied] Folders of blizzard maps and you'll see in the descriptions is "UMS" for teams to spawn together....

Updated to version 1.1, download is available. I still have the old version, so if you don't like it I can revert the uploaded version back to the original.

Changes:
-Increased size of mains (shifted some other terrain around to accommodate this)
-Removed min only bases in naturals (should also make more room for production facilities there)
