How's about some thoughts from a person who doesn't hate money maps like the plague. First of all, the bottom right corner's minerals aren't properly stacked. My mineral income is really slow and the shadow isn't pitch black. Luckily, the other corners are fine. The square terrain is something neat I don't see in the maps I play. Its usage isn't too shabby if I say so myself. Anyways, there is a LOT more room to build on because there's only 4 players as opposed to Fastest Possible's 8 players. 2 times more room to build on for each player. So basically, you made a pretty decent fastest map. I tend to overrate or underrate things a lot so I may be overrating this.

SUMMARY:
Pros:-Fastest map (for some people)
-Unique (at least in my map folder)
Cons:-The bottom right corner's minerals
-Fastest map (for some people)
Overall:Not too shabby

Before somebody goes and tells me that I am an idiot for liking a fastest map, I would like to say "I don't LOVE fastest maps, just LIKE them as I do UMS maps."

Well I used to play fastest when I was a n00blar and let me tell you: the maps are fun to play, especially iff you have no resource management skills. As for making the actuall map, don't do this because people are already addicted to their own fastest maps, and it just makes more downloads for us all.

It's not bad, but not to good. But still a map none-the less. Mistakes/Bad maps are a sign NORMALLY a sign to improovment. Keep up the work.

Make sure that if you are terran you can always add on to your command centers, even if they are near the end of the map.

That is an important feature most ppl seem to miss, though i've sadly not played these maps for some years now...

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Paella on 2004-11-04 at 15:23:10

Coko, I have not played them in a long time either, but that was always the thing that found a way to piss me off everygame.

just explaining why , for me, fastest maps are for "produce & kill" people who arn't strategical.... for me, if the game is fun and good, it's not the BIG FIGHT between two army, but HOW you kill your adverse and HOW he reacts and .... and ....
i just think it's funnier and more interesting.

I sugest for noobs to train on good melee maps like Lost Temple with other same noobs with same level ....

There is strateegy just a different kind.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by CheeZe on 2004-11-04 at 20:36:15

Sort of off topic but can someone explain to me exactly HOW Fastest Possible is a good map? The only way you think it's good is if you have NEVER (or forgot how to play) played non fastest. I would know, I suffered from 2 years of fastest possible, played a couple games on Lost Temple and was hooked.

Different style of game; because its Macro Intensive, and faster start, most people prefer it.

Also keeps you on your feet more because it is fast.

You'd be much more suprised about the speeds of Real Starcraft, when you have good players.

fastest maps are just very fast if you play vs a decent opponent.
its rather hard to mass build and micro at the same time.
most ppl just forget that you CAN micro and macro in a fastest map.
thats why I win. I just outmicro my opponents

cheese > all

The way to win that map is either rush with Zealot, or attack with Hydra/Defiler and destroy them...

Report, edit, etc...Posted by phlemhacker99 on 2004-11-07 at 23:03:05

It also depends on if it is no rush.

That better not be a joke.

Here you go. Fastest Suck. No exceptions. None. Absolutly None.
Beating someone on fastest shows no skill. People who play on that map turtle too much.

You have no understanding of containment nor expansion.
You don't know what using every unit to it's maximum potential means since everything is replacable.
You rush instead of harass.
You build huge ships thinking it's cool.
You have no understanding to why defilers are good.
You don't know how to use dark templars correctly.
You think spell casters suck.

I think that sums it up.

Forgot to add the fact that they don't know how to Macro and can't hotkey and create / while attacking at once.
