Here's another map I made. How do you like it/What should I edit in it?



Add: My only main concern right now is the mineral placements :/

I think the general idea in the terrain is good. However, a few points:

Mains should have just one gas, seeing as how the naturals already have a gas as well. Purple has an extra gas in its natural?

Seems like red and teal have smaller mains than blue and purple. Not really a big issue.

The expos that require transports... theyre consistently along the middle of the map, except for teals. And again, one gas is probably enough. Anyhow, teal's expo looks easier to defend, and I cant really tell looking at the image, but it might be accessible by land.

The lower ground on blue, with that temply terrain you have in a sort of a cross... are buildings placeable there?

It might be helpful to chip off some space down the middle and left to right, and widen the center a bit.

And lastly, as youve mentioned, mineral placement. One way to do this is to place the nexus down, and then place minerals accordingly. Then just mirror it for everyone.

Yeah, I was going to get a rid of the extra vespene for the bases, but forgot to finish that.

I dont think you can put buildings on that cross thing. Should I get a rid of it or make it smaller?

It doesnt seem to serve any purpose. Usually, when people put terrain that isnt buildable upon, its usually to prevent people from pushing on that. Seeing as how its rather straight forward, you should probably just remove that altogether, and maybe move the one in purples to the left and make it smaller.

Alright, how bout this?



I fixed the minerals and relocated teals extra bases. If its okay, ill clean it up with some doodads and post it in the DLDB.

Yea, That's what it was missing -.-, Doodads... Once you add some, It will be better, And more fun to play.

Not just some empty terrain...

Okay, Its done. The doodads may not show up in the pic, so you'll have to open it through starcraft to see its potential. Also, I added in some minerals to the middle for some good battles. Tell me if i should exclude them.

If there's any problems, please contact me through this thread or PM.

Woah, this isnt done.
Remember when I told you that you need to give each player the same chances?
You failed at that on this map.
You should try and give each player the same kinds of terrain outside thier bases and in, and make it the same sizes. The only thing that should vary between areas of the map is shape of the terrain, and even that should be similar.
For each player you have a different terrain setup and type. Change that.

When will you learn that if the bases arent exactly the same that doesnt mean that they are 'unfair'

When will you learn that if those bases look the same like that, the map is boring?

Seriously, if you need to have a map be like that, you must really suck at the game. If you are a true player, something that small shouldnt get into your way and you should be able to adapt.

Every single player on this map has the same amount of advantages and disadvangates.

Ummmmmm.... Can someone back me up? I know I am 100 percent right.

Heres my argument:

Not True.

Your kidding right? Check out my maps compared to yours. I would also like to play you.

I will never learn that because its not true.

Red has a raised jungle at his choke, he could prop cannons or tanks up there to protect his entire base. His expansion is also raised while other players are not, It make it much easier to defend.
Blue has temple outside his base. He can put units up there but no buildings. Also, he can get a worker to the expansion surrounded by temple without using air units.
Purple's expansion is also rasied, making it easier to defend, but it has less space than reds. Also, the ramp to his main can be blocked easier by tanks. Units trying to attack it would be under attack longer.

The mineral setup is terrible in this map. Whats with the expansion in the middle?
Each player, using their naturals, mains, expansions would get a different mineral flow.

You dont even play your own maps, do you?

ADDITION:
BTW, before last post, I was beingnice to you, I even PMed you about your other map, and i gave you constructive criticisms to make your maps half decent. And what do you do? You curse at me, and then say I dont know shit and I suck. Good luck holding onto friends here.

All you do is go arround insulting peoples maps besides yours. It makes me angry. And yes i do play my maps and they're a hell'ofa fun. >:/
I didnt curse at you :0

Sure ill play you

I WANT TO OBS

My internet sucks dude. If theres more than two people in a game its choppah. :S

Meh... oh well, but tell us the result when you are done.

We'll save the replay. Hey, yenku, i ment no hard feelings. Even though you did sorta piss me off... but non the less! i shall defeat you at mortal- i mean starcraft!

Did you get my PM?

We are cool right?
I can play tonight and I will save rep for Ihatett.

ADDITION:

You wanted to know who will win the battle of the gosus? what are you reffering to?

I like where your going with this map, but it still needs balancing changes, anywayz, yenku vs someone i dont know!! save the replay..
