This melee map occurred to me a few days ago, and I decided to make it. I wanted to make something that balanced island and land-based play.
MapI don't expect any spectacular praise. This is only my second attempt at making melee maps. I'd just like some advice on how to improve.
Looks pretty good to me. I just say add some curve to the minerals by red's mineral only expanse.
I commend you for making a map, though it does need improvement.
If you are going to make a two player map, the start locations cant be accesible to eachother so directly. That is a small distance for a terran push. If you control the middle there isnt much another player can do. You have down all the ideas for expansion though. Not bad for an early attempt.
Adding more curves to the terrain would make it more realistic (if thats what your planning for) and doing what Yenku said would improve it alot. And mayb add a ramp to get on the basilica. other than that you did much better than my second attempt
Usually people update thier maps when there are problems with it. Get on it now or I close it.
Go ahead and close it, my life has taken a turn for the bizarre and I'm afraid I don't have time to update it.
