O hey chaos. Beware for posting here: People tend to discriminate alot.
Also, please make a screenshot. Just download some program for that.. its much faster to see a SS.
Edit: Well cheeze added one. Thanks man
As for the map, ugh its pretty much one sided for terran. Extremely easy for tanks to seige in any base or expo. Pathing is a bit tight as well, but thats not a big thing. Mostly other people complain about that, so just warning you.
On a side note, purple's base is significantly larger then all the others. A bit of unbalancing there...
The positions aren't even anywhere near being balanced. I can't even begin to tell you everything wrong with this map.
It does seem a little predictable and normal. I think you should have went on somthing more original. Good effot though. Terrain isn't the easiest thing.
Heh, wesmics right. They're more unbalanced then I initially thought (didn't pay attention to ramp position).
Possibly a new name also. It doesn't look very metallic to me.
... for some reason, that completely evaded my attention. Why IS it called that anyways?
I presumed minerals as metals or somewhat like it. So I just thought of a name for it.
Oh Volcove, we don't discriminate, people just think they are being flamed when they hear bad news about thier map.
T map. Bad positioning.
Open up middle, add expansions, get better placement.
the bad terrains are there for reason. I like terran mwahahaha.
I do too, unfortunately I don't like it randomly placed all over the map. All maps have minerals too, not sure if you realized that.
good map, as said before very geared towards terran. looks like a good team map to me.
It looks good to you? Fantastic, I'm sure that means bunches to everyone who knows anything about SC.

be nice, he's only trying to be helpful. Instead educate him on how bad this map is without calling him a complete newb
I would but i havea soccer game to go to, perhaps when i get back if you havent.
Edit: Nvm, just read yenku's first post -_-
Lol just imagine trying to push a goon army through those ridges
Yea, thanks for clearing that up.
Well I like it, I wouldn't mind playing a few games on it, but I'm a zerg player and I think tight spaces aren't a huge issue for zergs while they are for protosses apparently. I'm just starting melee map making myself so I don't know too much. The ramps need to be more even, but if you look at my map you'll realize mine isn't too great either . Also a side-note to whoever said all maps have minerals, ever see UMS maps buddy??? QUOTE(NerdyTerdy @ Oct 30 2005, 09:03 PM)

He meant all melee maps have minerals.
And space is very necessary for zerg to flank. I'm guessing you've never played zvt vs a semi-decent terran.
I go air for the most part, I don't really ever have the need for flanking, mostly terrans go for mech which is easily taken down by like 12 guardians and tons of mutalisks. I haven't lost a game in a while, and I've played several FFAs.
[sub]This map reminds me alot of the blizzard map "No Way Out", except its not islands. This is prolly your best map, but its still not very good. Zerg needs more room, I would also put some ramps to get to the bottom and top parts, your maps always seem to be based too much on air.[/sub]

Wow. You obviously suck at SC.
