Clearly Cloud Kingdom is 2 seconds better. And we all know that 2 [insert unit here] makes all the difference.
Also, looks like this with a gold base plopped into the middle for no reason.

I'd vote for you.

Mains are a little small but it is manageable for a 2-base economy. If players are on three to four base economy they can get a job and move outta home!

Small main, next door 3rd, chokepoints everywhere, easy center gold, cramped watchtower. Ugh.

This is like, I keep looking seeing promises that this map is gonna be good but my eyes circle around and can't find something they like. Like it's not horrible but I don't really like any of it except the center concept and the rocks at the natural leading sort of to another base. Those are cool but it needs better spacing and proportions. Or was all this intentional?

Thanks for the feedback mate, I'll try and address it a bit and see what I can come up with.


I personally like small mains, but no one else seems to so I moved the natural across and increased the main size.

As a result of this there is less air space between the natural and the pathable area horizontal from it and that created a little warp-in position which I may keep or remove. On the one hand its very easy to spot and deny, on the other hand it could cause an absolute pain with blink. Picture for reference, thoughts?

[image loading]

The thirds I don't mind, there is a distinct level of open and choke, though at the moment it may lean towards being too open there. But that is an easy fix if that is the case. I'll have to mull it over.

As with the thirds I tried to create some extreme choked paths and some very open spaces. At the moment I think there is a decent balance between the two but in my internal test version I've opened up some of the areas even further to create a larger distinction between them.

I am contemplating removing the golds completely and turning it into a 10-base map. The map is certainly small enough for it and it changes the expansion pattern in a good way. Though I am not ready to make the change yet.

Originally there was no watch tower and it was just a split in the middle, my current test version has reverted back to that stage and it looks quite nice.

Thanks again. Will post an update soon.

I agree with removing the gold bases. I think Z will just take it as a third a lot.

How are you measuring distance? With what unit and from where? Those numbers are really weird to me.
