This is drasically different from my last version.
The middle minerals will not be full. Each main has a second geyser an extra one-hatch distance away.
It is not nearly decorated.
EDIT: Scroll down for the newest version.
whoa... do u realize how cool that looks?
Thanks!
I have a better and closer-to-final version coming soon.
Is it even possible to build in the middle? Theres too many mineral nodes there, so you should remove a few, and maybe the gas, and move them all closer in so that theres only one spot to mine from in all of that middle.
Maybe move the mains extra gas a little farther away?
And it does look neat, in the same way that Blade Storm is.
looks good, but you will decorate the high ground too, won't you?
The number of expos is rather small, it is enough for 1on1 games, but for 2on2 you need more. Perhaps you want to add an other expo for each player in the corner (fly-to only) ?
When is your mappack comin' btw?

Of course you can fit a CC there, who doesnt test?
And your right, it does give a bladestorm feel when you look at it.
Im not sure about the middle... Too many mins if you protect it.
For some reason, purp's area seems tad bit smaller than the rest....
either that or the part which the tar surrounds makes it too "flat."
Whew, here we go, and thanks for the replies

Yes, you can, but you have to build around the geyser.

Hmm... I don't really pay attention to 2 on 2s, but there are a lot of resources on this map.
***********************************This is the newer version.
EDIT: Scroll down for an even newer version.
It looks very pretty hehehhe was just wondering, are you making island maps only ?

AH CRAP. I just realized you were the judge for the map making contest
!
There goes my chances now that you've seen my *ahem* not too good maps.
wait, he is the judge...?
not the only one, i'm in the commité (sp?). And I will probably have a real hard time chosing my favorites, as most maps I've seen at least on this board kick ass.
what map was this in the first place? i really like it, i would also like to play you or somebody else on it. Just PM me or let me know when im on and i'll play you on it

Key word,
most. Meaning not all
I feel kinda stupid pointing this out, since it hardly affects the game, but due to the edge of the map, players teal and blue may have an easier time defending their mains than the other players, as they have a smaller entrance. Again, not too big, just more space the other players have to look after when defending their mains, and perhaps some more scouting for drops.
Again, I do feel stupid for mentioning this, but I guess what could it hurt. Great map, looks like a lot of fun (easier to break static/goliath defenses due to the cliff).
Keep up the good work.
Wait... what's the size of this map? it looks like 128x128 but im not sure
Here is the newest pic:
edit: look below for a newer one
gj that looks a whole bunch better then the 1st. also it looks like you didnt add doodads. Did u?
There are no doodads on the high ground, but there are in the mains and in the center (they are buildable ).
ADDITION:
I fixed up purple's main a tiny bit:
And here is another edit:
Better, but still, the midd is a bit plain, add some other kind of terrain, like the darker brown stuff (forget what its called, i dont use this tileset)
By middle do you mean the high ground? Because I added mud and sand to the center.
i think the high ground looks the best the way it is. I think that your done with terrain, it looks nice.
Yea, I'm not changing it anymore. I may have a downloadable version out tonight, if anyone wants it.
ADDITION:
Should I upload it to the DLDB as well?
Terrain looks awesome. Looks and gives off a really good feel.
