The distance between the mainbases is standard. A worker travells around 60 seconds between both bases. But the distance between the naturals is already shorter. For this you could call it a rushmap. But its also applicable to call it a goldbase map. Infront of the mainbase is a goldexpansion. The blue third is saver to take of course and is also closer to the 4th blue base, which can be additionally secured by destructible rocks.

IronManSC Profile Blog Joined November 2010 United States 2119 Posts #2 the pink really pops! Wondering about the natural ramps being so close to the main. I would not want to attack a fortified terran on 2-base simply because I would lose half my army just going up the ramp. Also, might I suggest placing the gold bases at the 10 and 4 o'clock bases? (not the corners but the ones next to it on the left and right side). They seem really easy to grab. In fact, it's a great way to encourage players to expand forward and it makes gold bases the most contested areas, but I feel it could be designed a little better, or possibly make it a half base.

The Main and Natural layout is intended to be easy to defend wth all races. You might compare it with Prion Terraces, where its basically the same. The natural and Main is easy to defend too.

Well the goldbase is intended to be that close to the mainbase and easy to grab. But its definetly not easy to defend. Its open, attackable by a highground and the distance to the opponent is very short.The Main and Natural layout is intended to be easy to defend wth all races.

Some different chokes and high grounds, though, this is definitely a distinct map so don't get me wrong. I like it. Great colors. NinjaDuckBob ~ Fear the fuzzy!

EatThePath Profile Blog Joined September 2009 United States 3939 Posts #6 Rocks at the 4th are a really nice touch, but I don't think you need them blocking the lowground near mid. Also the XNTs are so out of place. What are they for? That corner already has 3 bases on 2 routes, which are really forks of 1 route -- extremely resource dense, more of a lategame ammo cache than an expansion pattern that interacts with the map.



I think that corner could use some work to make it more active and interesting when it comes into play later. Maybe just remove one of the bases there.



Besides that pretty solid. Comprehensive strategic intention: DNE

I changed the base next to the gold base and the bridge connecting it. Its now closer to the mainbase, and so easier to grab. I therefore changed the whole corner base layout.

I also moved the Xel naga Tower. Now its in a more useful spot.

You can compare the picture of the new version with the one of the old version.

- made the choke to the gold more narrow, so the middle is less open

- added some cool lightning stuff

- changed the look of the bridge close to the gold a bit



I'm still thinking about removing the rocks which isolate the corners and make the choke even bigger. Would really love to hear your opinion!
