Plains of Ice

Suggested Players: 4

Description: Your enemy is almost your closest opponent...deal with him quick...

This is my first Melee map i made because im flat out bored. Ive got no CD-ROM to do anything because my computers stuffed.

Tell me how i did in this map. Considering i cant test this but maybe i can get some feedback for this map, thanks.

im actually playing this map as i post, um this needs work. It seems like the top right base has more space than the other bases. and the expansion on the far bottom left, it doesnt have 2 mineral patches out side the base like the others do. you didnt do terrible on the balancing but not fantastic either. and the minerals in the middle, it has a ramp up it from one side, it would be eazy to protect for some players and harder for others. The minerals at the main bases are pushed back fromm your cc so it takes longer to mine minerals.
This is overall a good 4 player map and has good expansions, nicely done but could use some work. smile.gif you get a B on this map 8/10

Post a picture of the map, I can't look at it becasue it's protected and the program I use for Mini-Map pictures in the DLDB only make 128x128 pictures.

Its unprotected, i cant take a screenshot of the map since all my Broodwar maps are labelled as SCMDraft files.

Ok, here's a list of what i changed:
- Removed the ramp in the center.
- Modified the center a little bit.
- Minerals in the center have 2500, Gas there have 5500 also.
- All gas at the four corner expansions have 6500 gas.
- Fixed Resources layout for each main base.
- Made top right expansion base smaller.
- Made top left expansion base smaller.

Simple enough to take a screenshot: Hit the Print Screen button then open it in Fireworks/Photoshop and edit out everything but the minimap image.

if you're using a windows computer theres a button on your keyboard that says print screen (Print Scrn on mine)
If you're using a mac press alt shift 3 (i think, i only use macs at my school =/)

then you paste it into a word processor or paint (right click select paste)

I know that , i just cant take a screenshot of the minimap because of the white square on it. And if i erase it out it, it will just look ridiclous........

Here's a minimap picture:
[attachmentid=5501]

Not bad... I liked it.

I have to agree with Yenku though, top right defenitely has more space than everyone else, and the bottom needs the mineral patches.

I'm not the best melee person... but it seems to me like (in this minimap picture) red would have the easiest time getting to the minerals in the middle.
