The sword and the faith



Thought you guys might enjoy getting a chance to take a shot at me for once. This is my newest map, (2)Clutch. As with most maps I've been making these days, I'm trying to incorporate some experimental elements into it. The nats mineral back door is a feature I've been trying to work into a map for awhile now, but as you can see, it usually makes the nat come out in an awkward shape. This is the best I've gotten it so far. Most expos are very easily harassed, which I think will help compensate for the lack of open battle ground. Can't produce what you don't have the cash for. Enjoy.

Hello

Siege tanks easily can kill the workers from the expansion in the middle...
also mutalisks can.... you should make more space for turrets etc.

Part of the concept is the easy harass. Also, the mid route is very early game only. You shouldn't be using it by the time tanks are rolling out. Take down the Xel Nagas or go with some air.

The problem with that concept is that it means that there is 0 room for turrets, meaning an extremely easy muta harass. And there's a lot of unbuildable ground on the map, and IIRC isn't that bad for terran?

Yeah, I personally don't like rocky ground that much... Maybe you could put some mud here and there?

Yes, but it isn't overly open or have much flanking, so T needed some hurt.

Advanced deco (On a Testbug / Crackling level) will come if I finalize the map and deem it worthy of such attention. Right now its just a fun map, but perhaps I can balance the concept further. I don't know, I'm just going on tips right now.

same.. but isn't it a bit waste of space?? only small cliffs at start-locations

all expansions can be easy attacked by Zerg...

Expos can be easily attacked by anybody. I feel a lot of the newer maps these days make expos too protected and easy to defend. Fight for your money.
