Eh... Island blocked with a ling? Why? Terrans can still use a CC to drop SCVs and scan to have it killed, Protoss needs Robotics to get a Warp prism and Zerg needs Lair for either Nydus or Overlord drops. It is Pointless.

Map is waaaay too big, it might be hard to change the size now, so keep that in mind for your next maps, use ladder maps as an indicator for proper size map.

I know it's a bit big but i really wanted to make this concept fit in a 4p map (with the cliff route above the base)


Sumadin: i guees i was thinking how broodwar worked and you cound't load scv's back then xD
will replace it with something else on the next update

I actually really like the map, my only gripe is with the middle island expo, I feel it is unnecessary and helps out Terran more than the other races due to the flying cc mechanic. You honestly don't need anything there, but if you wanted to I suppose it could be a high ground area.

I think it could actually be pretty easy to resize this map if you are willing to let that middle island expo go.
But yeah I think it's way too big as it is.

too big but you should definitely keep mapping most people's 2nd maps are garbage compared to this.

It actualy is blocked by rocks at the ramp, kinda hard to see from the picture tho ^^

Seems alot of you have a problem with the size of the map i'll see what i can do but the main idea was to have this layout fit in 4 player map which kinda proved difficult when i tried to do it in a smaller sized map

The backdoor would be ok if it was just a ramp blocked by rocks, this way zerg has small chance to defend a push coming through it. I’d probably make it into just a ramp, get rid of the base next to it, rotate the central base 90° counter clockwise and move the Xelnaga tower clockwise by a bit.

...won't the cooling towers just destroy the Xel'Naga towers?

i'm guessing that is the idea. to make the XNTs destructible

Eyy LasTCursE, your mind is still stuck in BW mapping
Cross spawns will have to be on this map... or a player who is counter clockwise the other will have an easier time going up the backdoor.
Middle and gold expansions will never be used :D

I like this map but there are some really small fixes and I think it will make the map comp worthy. The back door high ground path at the nat for example. Bringing the ramp closer to the third will both make it a little easier to defend and reduce the space for nyduses (which a lot of map makes ignore). I also suggest you put the rocks on the path and not the ramp. I know blink will be a problem but I think it's not that bad.

You should stay away from islands not because they are bad but because no one will take your map seriously. Trust me I hate that no one will even try to set up a plan for islands.

Aside from that I love the wide open parts. Great job! =D Cheers.

PS: I hate being this guy but you might wanna think about fresh aesthetic styles. This pallet is old bland and kind of a downer.

That's the idea i wanted to make em a bit more.. interesting.. and.. valuable. If you don't defend it as much the opponent can destroy it and he will have an advantage over you, but giving the map size players should be able to defend it i think..

Drake: Made the backdoor path shorter for less nydusing and easyer defending of the base, i like the rocks better on the ramp tho i think now it will be easyer to defend it even if they stay there : )

I tried making the map smaller and still fit the concept in but either i don't seem to find an easy way to do it or there simply isn't one, besides there could be some big macro games too, being big dosen't mean it's unplayable right xD
