I'm thinking of making the high ground ridges buildable, just to have some more somewhat-protected buildable space on the map, but I'm just concerned about the advantage for T in a sieged up position with turrets there. Yeah, I think making ridges buildable is actually bad. Could just make more of the low ground buildable. | ||

It's way harder to take than on FS since it's at the bottom of that wide ramp with a secondary entrance on the side as well. It's like Matchpoint, but slightly harder to take (secondary entrance) and worth a bit more (gas base vs min only). GoTuNk actually has an interesting point about the 5 bases though. If you look at the bottom ridge, a siege tank positioned at the top corner of that ridge looks like it can cover the inside mineral only base and a siege tank positioned at the very left edge of that ridge looks like it can cover the ramp leading to the bottom left expo (combine this with a depot wall at the top of the narrow ramp). I don't think this makes the bases 'free' per se since the mineral only is still quite open and the low ground space around the corner expos are unbuildable, but it's something worth looking at during testing. Also, people always complain about siege tank positioning whenever new maps come out. It's rarely as bad as it looks ;S | ||

Extremely easy to defend by ground, in contrast to the closer expansions. | ||

MnM is just too tough to defend in small numbers. protoss same thing. closer the base, better defendable it is. zerg on the other hand relies on choke points, which is why you'll see them taking those unused mains. | ||
