I dont like the thirds. Tell me if they are fine as they are or if I should make them less open.

The ursadon in the middle is named Fluffy :lol:

EDIT: On the top player's main, on the ramp, I know it looks like I didnt set that one mineral field to 0. I did, I just dont know why its displyaing in the image O.o

Update Log:
Added Anti-CC minerals to the bottum right and top left expansions
Moved the Anti-CC minerals back so workers cant right click on them and bypass the eggs
Redecorated
Added Rocky Ground rectangular terrain

Credit to the Brush Project for making me those awesome water trees. Much appreciated.

It's most likely too closed due to the map size.
I also find that since nat to main entrance distance is quite large, they will have quite a hard time defending their bases.
Why is it called the Whisper Creek?

I guess the nat to main entrance is a bit large, but I will have a hard time fixing that.
Before I planned to have a big river in the middle of the map, but it looked stupid just being there, so I replaced it with the temple.

Also, the thing I was missing was the rectangular rocky ground.

EDIT: Also, I just realized the mains look like Africa.

EDIT EDIT: Also, Im saying also a lot.

I don't see any concept here.

Really? 'Cause I sure do. Notice the zerg eggs and mineral blocks? They block the ramps, the eggs blocking completely and the minerals blocking only part of it. You have to kill the eggs to access that expo (unless your terran, in which case you can float a CC), and you can mine the mineral blocks in enlarge your choke.

Speaking of terran floating a CC to that expo, maybe you should add more rocky ground with a mineral block so that they can't float it there?

Completely forgot about CC float. Im fixing that now.

Dungeon Master

You can right click on the anti-cc minerals to bypass the eggs with a worker. Is this intentional?

Which shows how much you know.

Excellent map, a question though, The small bit of land next to the main's ramps that looks unreachable, I think it might be tankable... I'm not sure, as I have not played the map yet, I'm just curious as to whether it can be abused or not.

He's taking revenge, don't worry about it.

Nice map, still it's kind of linear, don't you think? Once you get to the main there's only one way you can go.. there's not really any alternat route, except for that one that goes to the same spot just 10 feet higher up. Terran just needs siege tanks on the high ground and they can defend easily with a few turrets and bunks.

Also, I've been told this: "It's not good for Zerg to have two entrances into their nat, harder to defend." But since the two are so close, I can see why it works. However, they may need to closer or you may have to get rid of the ramp. You also may not have to, we'll see what excalibur says.

Why are there two vespenes and a min only in the main? that defeats the purpose of the nat, doesn't it?

No curve to minerals again! :hurr:

Its called a double gas main no gas nat. Its in a lot of pro maps.
I think that nats are fine, though. They are pretty close together that they can place sunkens to block both of the ramps.
Yeah, I admit the map is a BIT linear.

Thanks for the feedback :)

The sword and the faith

Typical turtle map. Way too linear. More curves, more paths. Really don't like the current layout/concept of the entire midsection.

How can I fix these?

Edit: Besides the linear-ness?

@Marine:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

EDIT EDIT: I tried to loosen up the middle. How is it now?

Wtf is a turltle map? A map that looks like a turtle? Represents one? Flow of one? Shape of one? Linear-ness of one?
It's a map which is easy to turtle with. Turtling is when you have, say, a bunch of tanks, then you move a few more tanks just in front of them, using the siege-mode tanks to protect you. It's a reference to the Roman/Greek military formation in which each soldier shielded the one in front.



Red classic.

The sword and the faith

The map is one single linear path. You can't do that.

Rethink your layout and concept. Scrap if necessary.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A 2 PLAYER GAIA.
Again I must add that the map is turtle prone because of the size of the entrance bridge of the natural. Make it larger and this map will feel less tight and turtle prone.
The center looks like Gaia's center for a two player map, since it's comparable to a pro map it's totally good right guys?
