By the way, I don't think you should actually put more minerals in the high-yield expansion places. SC2 balances the high-yield expansions by the fact that they typically only have 6 patches, so the saturated income is the same (just requires less workers to saturate). I think it would be better if you just treated them as normal expos.

Also, having all those xel'naga temples everywhere is really hilarious.

These are so cute :3 Metal and Tal'darim look really good IMO!

Dustin Browder is very glad you kept all the destructible debris.

Have you ever tried to do the reverse and change some BW maps to SC2?

Such as those used in '11-'12 proleague pool? :D

Nice. I was looking forward to these ever since I first joined TL. I started with SC2 but switched to BW pretty soon and got quite discouraged by not knowing any of the maps.

Now finally I can put them into use. Thanks for the hard work!

XNC and meta look the coolest. XNC because I haven't seen a BW map with that layout and meta cuz of the terrain.
Also Tal Darim for the center... Holyyy fuck that looks cool.

Only Tal Darim looks like an "acceptable" BW map at first sight, most of the others look like Python/LT clones or some of those obscure maps from early 2000s.

It would be interesting to see some of the newer maps like Cloud Kingdom.

They look very weird. If would never play these in BW cuz they look very imba and will not just work. I hope you put some more effor like decorating the map and don't just rush to finish, it really looks like you made these maps in 10 minutes. These maps are just too tight to play in BW and ofcourse there is some positional imbalances.

Found one Scrap Station too:

lLOL yea.. they look like maps from the beginnings of BW. or worse.

You have to give it to the editor too... ofc. the maps look bad without doodads and detailed mapping.

Edit: I am a really good mapmaker but I don't see why converting SC2 maps into BW is a good idea unless they start producing some interesting maps for SC2(in comparison to BW mapping.)

lol...SC2 maps have such tiny bases, it would suck playing bw terran on almost all of these.

Also....isnt remaking lost temple a little redundant ;P

You'd have to fix a lot of tiny things to make it work, but that doesn't have to change the maps structure. But there are no interesting SC2 mapping concepts as of yet... I mean compare it to the BW mapping scene, there is no reason to start converting maps at all.

When you compare the SC2 maps to current BW ones it really makes you wonder what happened to the SC2 mapmakers' creativity. It's like they all caught some kind of disease from Blizzard.
