EDIT by Freakling:
- The - quote LastCurse - "...ton of stupid sprites/doodads all over the place that look very crappy..." are vision blockers (ground units on one side cannot see what's on the other - same as the rock doodad in ice terrain)
- There are also sight blockers beneath the mineral formations of both the 3rds and 4ths. If it isn't clear from the picture - the thing beneath the hill expo formations is a ramp, mining out minerals at either expo opens the passage/cliff in between them.
- mineral and gas vallues are as follows:
main: 1x256+1x1024+8x1536m & 5120g
nat: 1x512+7x1536m & 2048g
3rd (low ground): 1x128+1x256+1x512+1x1024+5x1536m & 2048g
4th (hill): 1x512+1x768+1x1024+1x1280+3x1536m & 2048g

Those round ramps could definitely be freaklings.
Its become a trend not to upload the author
.__.
also the middle expos should be minonlies. big ones :) |
| sTY_leZerG-eX | | |
Yeah maybe freackling, but I hate the none author ...
Maybe Last? |

it's Freakling or the "Ghost Author" : |

Holy shit, awesome map! :D:D

or maybe freaking is the so called, "Ghost Author" just a little thought considering this map and razors edge have sort of the same style. |
| sTY_leZerG-eX | | |
| DL is broken... |
| LasTCursE | | |
| i've thought about that.. |
| JungleTerrain | | |
| The curvaceous ramps are largely unnecessary. It's hard for most people to criticize such a pretty map, especially when the author is unnamed :P |
| K_A | | |
| Gee maybe I should display my maps as unknown author ;) |

Guys, what if P4E made this map? o_o
He made a lava map with low mineral fields that had a similar base layout (but different middle).
modified by Kinosjourney |
| LasTCursE | | |
1st: not p4e's style
2nd: would be more clean if it was his :d
3rd: he makes mainly sc 2 maps now
4th: p4e dosen't have the habbit of hiding :D
so no it's not him
starting to doubt about it being freakling too |
| Kinosjourney | | |
| Then it's probably a Korean mapper, a Korean that have mapped on this site before. =_= |

Lol, can't you guys check the "mystery mappers" IP and match it with the user database or something?
I want to know who it is -_- |

| kinos you dont need an account to upload a map, so the 'mystery mapper' will remian anonymous |

Dunno why this person finds it amusing to have you all wondering who they are.
Oh wait, it is kinda amusing! Nevermind, no, it's actually quite newb. |

ok its me, i actually hid my author name in some maps ;D
so i was experimenting freakling's like ramps with a fairly standard map |
| SiaBBo | | |
| Yeah, sure. Put your name in there then. |

look, i didn't write tha author name in this map
http://www.panschk.de/mappage/comments.php?mapid=3451
so i did in this one, i'll change the author someday when i'll have time |
| LasTCursE | | |
| that's a lie! : |

| Nightmarjoo | | |
| I really don't like the map's middle. |
| freakling | | |
The middle being the open, flat lava caldera thingy? What's wrong with that?
modified by freakling |
| Nightmarjoo | | |
| Just boring, doesn't really flow with the rest of the map's concept imo. |
| freakling | | |
| What would you suggest instead? |
| Nightmarjoo | | |
It's your map? ~~
The highground ridge separating nat/third area from the center is almost just flat terrain (no chokes or pathing changes) except for that single piece of magma which divides the large ridge ramp from a default small one; I would try to emphasize the differences in pathing here, to make them more different/important. I don't know exactly how I'd do this: mostly I just don't like how much space the ridge takes for how simple it is (pathing-wise), perhaps alter that smaller side path to flow directly between the 3rd and middle, making it a more useful path. Right now the simple pathing makes it a turtle map where you can easily grab 4gas and defend your quarter of the map. The cliffs behind the 3rd and 4th help with this, but not dramatically enough to make it not a turtle map. Changing the pathing/middle could help this though. |
| freakling | | |
Who else could have made this :P
The ridges already provide height advantage and can be used to defend 4 gas (or rather 3 1/2 since nat depletes pretty quickly), hence I kept them wide and open.
The cliff between 3rd and 4th (whatever you take as which) turns into an open path pretty soon, by the way, if you take any of these expos.
I could extend the magma holes a bit towards the middle and add additional side blocker between them and the middle doodad.
I cannot see how a less open middle would reduce turtling, though. |
| Nightmarjoo | | |
| Are the other recent nameless maps all yours too? You should put your name on your maps tt |
| freakling | | |
Outland, Escher, Razor, Elephant, Bizarre, Pyro are all mine :P
Will put my name on them soon.

| I'll make it 2k gas for all non-mains (if I'll ever happen to update it O_o) |

| Because when freakling bumps his maps HE BUMPS THEM ALL. |
| Freakling | | |
| Hey, it wasn't me. It was sTY_leZerG-eX. I only bump my maps when I upload an update. |
| K_A | | |
| Was it really you lezerg? |
| sTY_leZerG-eX | | |
I am guilty lol,
its just that I consider Freaklings maps 2 be really good (Well some of them), (: and IMO some are not commented enough.. |
| LasTCursE | | |
| We haven't seen a map from you in quite a while lezerg :D :( |
| K_A | | |
Lots of other peoples maps aren't commented enough and are still pretty good.
People only comment when a maps has undenyable balance problems, has a cool original concept, or has really good deco.
Freaklings maps typically have all three :) |

| i personally would like to see the concept of vision blocking tiles in maps develope. maybe someone should make a competition about it? thoughts? |
| Freakling | | |
| I will definitely update this soon, extending the vision block concept to the center. |
| LasTCursE | | |
is this your sumbit or hazard ?

Hazard is

UPDATE:

- set gases to 5120 mains, 2048 everywhere else
- added hedges to the middle |

| CrystalDrag | | |
| Double post..... And why use those amounts? |
| Freakling | | |
2048 = 2^11
5120 = 2^12 + 2^10 |
| Crimson)S(hadow | | |
@freakling that's pretty smart i guess, both divisible by 8 ^^
anyways i've only played zvt here so that's the only matchup i can give my thoughts on.
IMO the sight blockers in front of the nat only favor zerg in zvt. it strengthens early lurker contain and gives the zerg a muta killzone vs marines in the first MM push. perhaps removing the sight blockers around the nat, and leaving the ones in the middle would help balance things out. |
| Freakling | | |
| Hmmm... Can you send me some replays? |
| Crimson)S(hadow | | |
| sorry, when i tested this map it was when i was rusty after a break from playing sc, so i didn't save the reps. next time i play ill try to get some reps though, but not sure when that will be |
| LasTCursE | | |
Call me bad at math but if
2^12 + 2^10 = 2 x 2^11
therefor 2 x 2^11 = 2 x 2048 = 4096
how come that is equal when 5120 has a whole 1024 more |
| Freakling | | |
You aren't bad at math, Last.
You are absolutely incapable of math.
