Good idea, again, but this map is hard for zerg to fast expo, so its usually smart to have a natural at the choke point so zerg can expo there, and sunk it to keep it protected.

Also, try to keep mineral patches in the same spots as eachother. In the middle by the tar, there are min only expos, but they are in different spots, see what I mean?

Hey there Yenku.

The mineral spots are exactly where they need to be. Although I agree with the tar I bombed on that one.

this is not LT. Zerg will not fast expo and defend it from their ramp. They will work for expos like everyone else will have too =).

I do believe you are the first to EVER rate a map of mine average. Aside from the crappy symmetrical one I did >.>;. You seem to base an entire maps rating on mineral placement rather than the whole deal. Thanks for that.

The goal of all my maps are too be as un-symmetrical as possible while still being fair, and for the most part lately ive been doing that.

Or maybe I see that the map isn't that great... Mineral placement is terrible on the map, but I actually put that thought aside while rating...

Btw, Zerg needs fast expo to properly keep up in tech and macro with other players, and the placement is important so they can protect thier main and expo with one defense.

Hello my fellow veteran map maker.
BG I'd have to say this map isn't as good as your previous ones.It seems like a really hard to defend map. Exremely offensive. It's still pretty good, Yenku a fast expo in this map would probably get you killed. Building a second base fast in such a small map is pretty risky. I'm giving exceptional scince i'm feeling generous, Yenku gave an averge and the fact that 9/10 maps on this site are RPG's (half of wich are LOTR maps wich absolutely suck.)



BG check ou my latest 3 maps. Sentinal, Broken Roads, Desert wars. I too have problems with nameing maps.

What do you have against parallel maps anyway?

It's small. Most people tend to either cram too much in or leave it empty; you, however, managed to space it so that there's a quick rush to battle without it being too straightforward. There's still strategy involved.
