I just did this map. It's 1vs1, twilight terrain.. i think the nat is pretty easy to defend, the middle has enough space, with ressources. top and bottom map has 3 expandsion but they're kind of easy to defeat with the 3 cliffs, the bridge leading to the min only..

I named it S ignal because of the S in the middle... Hehehehh I hope you like it ! I have no more space to put the map, anyone know how to remove previous post that are locked? cuz there's like 3 meg of scrrenshots and maps that are useless...


:DD:

The middle looks very potent for a few great battles especially if both sides establish a base at each of the two mineral fields. That'd be quite interesting...
Anyhow, the water around the start location is interesting, in that it would force early expansion. I can see a lot of tension over who controls the middle since it has two mineral fields and you have to go through it to get to the top right and bottom left mineral fields by land. All around interesting map, good work!

Are you refering to that crescent terrain? Thats not water; notice how the minerals are even on top of it.

What about saying something about the map mobo!

Hmm, I like how the map looks, with the whole yin & yang thing going on.

Now, I think that most of the battles will have to take place in the middle for PvT since, for the side expansions, the paths are too narrow to bring your entire army. Also, if you siege main parts of the cliff, you can guard almost all the expansions except for the central mineral only ones and the natural expo, which could be a problem for Protoss. Maybe you can widen the paths a bit so battles can take place in other places, as well as the middle, or shrink the giant cliffs. You can also add a ramp so that you can enter from the center, but I don't know if it will balance it more.

I might have to play it to see, though, but great map anyways.

I think that if I add a new ramp giving acessibility to middle, tanks will we even more effective because they won't have to take a long route like it is right now. I'm currently trying to figure if making bigger the choke would be great. I will wait until further opinions here and on tl.net

thanks Shapechanger and pekkel_the_duck


EDIT: I made the bridge widen , tell me if it's good

Load all your pics through imageshack or photobucket, that way you won't use space on your pictures and only on your maps.

As for the map, I like it. I don't see many race balance issues.

Read bill's post on TL.net
Other than that, i'm disappointed you decided against naming it (2)Sexy Map

Sexy Map, lol that's awesome. I think you shoulda named it Superman, because it kind of looks like the Superman emblem if you think about it.

lol decaf when u suggested me sexy map, i had already chosen it's name sorry buddy

Oh thanks wes Now i have more than 2 meg of free space...


According to Bill307 post, he suggested to make a new centre offering players an easier way to get to their mineral only expo which is located near the main, but on the other side of the wall. If i remove the whole water in centre, i think it might be too much disadvantageous for terrans to push through middle, so i decided to make it like this ...


Thx ihatett for your support in my melee map making

Yea.... it's a pimp's job to assist a brotha
If my Starcraft wasn't lagging I'd probably download this and test it out, but... I'm lagging. (damn you AOL)

My idea for opening up the center was leave the middle choke, then maybe add in 2 paths/bridges above/below the middle.

Yes, that's what i though too wow decafchicken we have the same ideas !! I will add a screenshot soon


EDIT: Here it is:

Modifications:

The naturals choke was too big. I fixed that, if you think it's not good enough just tell me . I also made some improvement in the middle such as 2 other possibilities to pass through. One path above and one path below. Fixed also the water, added some doodads, and modified the textures a bit.

What do you think of it now buddies ?!

Lovin it.

trcc, I HATE YOU! You always make gosu maps so fast, and I can't stand that!!!


Seriously its a very nice map, it reminds me of 2 maps. Bifrost and Raid Assault. Very nice job indeed!

OT, I'm in LA right now... 3 weeks without starcraft and mapmaking... I think I'm going to die.....!!!

BTW, check out my new gosu sig...

The S Is gone

I know =( but i told myself WAIT YOU CANT RENAME IT ! so i kept it like this Thx hans, your maps are very good too =) you made the tourny and not me I'm making a quick draw of my maps at work " well i sit on a chair and it ing blow".. so when i arrive to my melee map production CPU 1337, it's going very fast

Hans, i dislike your sig, its way to !@#$ing big. And come to think of it i havent made a map in a while. I have an idea for one, but i'm playing more than i'm mapmaking now =O

Hans isn't your signature a bit big? Because the limit height for signatures is 200px. Yours is 255px.

But since no moderators have done anything about it, i guess it's cool

lol

what are you supposed to do at work if you can sit around like that?

My job consist to install the first base , second base and third base and to mark to lines plus there's toilet in the basement so i must be present to prevent vendalism. There's a table with some chairs and i make some draw, listen to music, read sometime "cough never" except the newspaper etc well it's fun and well paid 10,30 per hour CAD of course =)

Hmm.. it looks like there are too many expo's for a 1v1.. but im not a pro meele'r or anyything so im not sure. Map looks good to me.

Sorry, gonna remove sig... Mods please dont ban me...!
Very nice map, you should call it... t3h s3x!
