The goal of my design was to encourage aggression to weed out the weak players quickly. The map is designed so that every player must compete with his neighbors for expansions while working towards the rich mineral fields in the middle of the map. Weak (1/4 the normal hitpoints) destructible rocks between mains allow players a little bit of breathing room, but they will need to break them down to soon if they want to expand.



To prevent a player from getting an advantage due to any missing players, mains that are not occupied at the start of the map are destroyed.

Comments are appreciated. I've played this vs. the AI and it's pretty fun. Hopefully I'll be able to test it with humans soon.



If anyone knows how to get around the 15 player max, that would be awesome. So I tried to make a 16 player map that would be fun to play, but I found out you can't have 16 players in a melee-style map because resources, Xel Naga towers, and destructible rocks are assigned to one of the 16 player slots.So, I made a 15 player FFA map.The goal of my design was to encourage aggression to weed out the weak players quickly.

I was sooo excited



edit: really cool map, though the choke points may be a bit stifling for zerg. I thought it was a modI was sooo excitededit: really cool map, though the choke points may be a bit stifling for zerg.

Are you sure? By default, the 15th player is AI, but the map editor allowed me to change it to human. I can even make 16 human players, but the 16th player ends up owning all the minerals, rocks, and towers. Are you sure?

I have tested it completely yet, but the mains should be far enough apart that blink won't make it. Air is usually pretty ridiculous in any FFA.



I am trying to balance it for each race, but obviously it's going to be dicey with 15 players. I have tested it completely yet, but the mains should be far enough apart that blink won't make it.
