(4) Stealth Bomber

Map Overview:

Start Locations are at the natural expansion
Shield Batteries increase ling rush distance to 35 seconds on close spawns
Psydisruptors are 10 stacks on the Bridges, allowing a second major entrance/exit to be cleared
Bridges are ling tight
Vertical scouting / Counter attacks are possible along the side of the map (blocked by Zerg Eggs)
Expansions next to the bridges are 750 mineral, 7500 gas
High ground does not allow building
Deco not complete
Path finding in the early game requires a lot of attention, fluent in mid to late game once structures have been cleared

Can you elaborate a little more on how you are bringing the theme of quarantine into your maps, or is that for us, the reader, to interpret?

I feel like my quarantine map would have you start in an expo with only a few 42 mineral content patches, and you would have to go to various nodes across the map to gather as much toilet paper as you could to bring back to base. I would make it a UMS, maybe, so that I could have your minerals automatically tick down even without you building anything, and when they go to zero, you lose. Note that there is no winner, because even if you are the last player left your minerals will tick down and trigger your lose condition. The strategy of my map would be to build just enough to bully other players off of mineral patches on different parts of the map, but not so much that you ever hit zero. Maybe 300 mineral patches in the main, not sure, haven't worked out the balance yet plz stay tuned.

The maps aren't quarantine themed, I just had more time to work on them due to...
