Undecorated, and without the solar array which will go on the ground.

Meh. I couldn't make anything near balanced without straying a ton from the map, and when I did stray from it I got this. I fear a double expo by terran into another main is possible, but maybe it would be too hard to defend. The ground is also very small. Whether this map is good or bad, I have learned a lot from your criticism of all the maps that I have posted, and I promise that my next map will not let you down. Here is the image:

If it's good, I'll add solar array to the ground, and decorate it. Otherwise, there is still some room in the recycling bin.

I just have a few cosmetic suggestions, to give it that more round, donut look:

Extending the ends of the mains naturals a bit, but with unreachable terrain. What I meant by that is similar to that of LT, when 3 used to have that space to tank 12; that terrain was still there, but with little holes so units cant actually get there. This way, its rounded, but not suspectible to tanks.

Removing a bit of the terrain near the gas. About a couple of matrixes worth.

Shifting the mineral-only a bit.

Disregard the inner red lines; I was thinking of maybe having a small wall, and since I was using msPaint, I couldnt really undo those lines that easily.

And this is just an uneducated thought, but I thought the gas were too far. I know the Zerg could use the help, especially when it comes with air, but 3hatching that gas could easily give them a bigger advantage ad mutas.

Just my penny's worth.

I might change the name, I just couldn't think of anything at all. In fact, I will change the name because I don't want the map to look too rounded.

And you have a great point about the gas. I'll probably move it closer to be more like Dream of Balhae.

ADDITION:
meh, I don't like the square look either... I'll do something about it

Go for a Sphere type look...

I personaly think it needs more expansions in and aroudn the middle because
you will be using Air in this map you will need the minerals and such

Also then you could have ground battles fighting over the lowerlevel areas wink.gif

You may be right about the bottom not being of enough value. I would think that the mineral onlys and the huge expo in the center would be enough, but I'll think about it. Thanks for the reply.

Crap, i was gonna make a spherical map! There goes my plan.
Whatever, Ihatett, get a new image, i cannot view it.
I like the changes mobo made, Good ideas.

I dont see myself or many people playing this map though.

WOW

I just realized how my design is so much like mobos. I swear I wasn't copying you man, I just decided to add that stuff because I personally thought it looked better. I first added the longer mains, because I hated the square look. I then saw that the mineral onlys were too in the middle of the map, so I moved them down to the next crease, which added to the huricane look, which is a lot like your map. I'm sorry, but I swear I wasn't copying you, even though it does look a lot alike.

This map is looking prety good... It is an Air map though and most people dont play air maps... But if I was to play an Air map I would play this one...

I still think you need some more minerals on the ground... Its to "plain" and
of not much value... As i started earlier... There could be ground battles on the ground fighting for the bottem land in order to get more minerals...

Just add some more Minerals and Decorate it and it will have a
9/10 rating by me

Are you talking about the image of your map where I drew and made some suggestions? Im not taken back or anything, but youre confusing me, seeing as how I only made one map in all my time here. mellow.gif

First off, why is this an "Air Map"?
Second, a 9/10? Thats a bit generous wouldnt you say? This hardly deserves a 7 from me.
Also, he said it was undecorated, im sure hes going to add stuff to it.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by mobomojo on 2005-04-26 at 22:23:26
Although theyre not totally islands, its an called an "Air map" because theres no access to each others mains by ground. Merely in the sense that you need transport to get some mobility going.

And yeah, its still a bit preemptive to be giving scores. Decor, and further tweaking still waits.

Or instead of telling us TWICE to check the name of the image, you can just TELL US the name of the image, which happens to be "Ouragan".

This map sucks, and I'm not doing anything else with it, but don't post something if you have no clue what you are talking about.

I hatett, I know zerg are the worst at island maps in general. But play this map, I dont even think you played your own map.
Try playing someone with Toss, and try using ground units. See how hard it is.


Of course I never played this map, but neither have you. Unfortumately, since this map isn't very different from other island maps, protoss probably owns zerg. If you want to claim the opposite, prove your point, don't just say it.

QUOTE(Yenku @ Apr 28 2005, 05:40 PM)
It is hard for Protoss to transport thire units since they are big and ussually carry 2-4 units.  As opposed to zerg who can carry many more, they can also get quick air. Mutas.  They own in many air maps.  Mostly because protoss and terran dont have very good flying units that do great damage to ground and air.


Do you want to take back saying you never said zerg owns on air maps, and that terran and toss suck?

I should have never said that. I should have never even mentioned anything.
