hmm very interesting (as all of crackling's maps) i would put some cind of ramp to the H Outpost. but this is your map ... i give only one idea :D
spinesheath
Well, I would chose a tileset that you have working ramps for :p
Btw, Ice and Twilight should convert pretty nicely, with just a few black spots to fix (paint them over with isom or rect terrain).
Crackling
@lastcurse i said ramps are missing, i updated the pic to show where the ramps should be (red lines ;D)
LasTCursE
i will try to make ramps for u ... ;)
LasTCursE
here you are i hope i helped
Crackling
updooted with ramps
LasTCursE
indead it's great now :P
LasTCursE
i want someday to make maps.as good as yours :)
LasTCursE
for me crackling mades the best maps in this site :D (and also TestBug,Grief,Nightmarjo,nasty,morrow ;]) but crack s the best :D
SiaBBo
THAT IS REALLY COOL TO HEAR!
LasTCursE
ooo siabbo and you man you too !! :D i forgot for you
LasTCursE
how about all to start one map :D i think the result will be magnefesunt :D
SiaBBo
LastCurse i didnt meant you have to list me too. Dont pity. :)
MorroW
hehe ^^

this map seems to have a very boring game play (1 battle field, secure expoes)

its nice for 1 hour i think ^^ my fastest map is http://www.panschk.de/mappage/comments.php?mapid=2827 :P. sucks i know ^^

fix decoration plz
Crackling
what do you mean with fixing deco O_O

Grief_Stricken
come on morrow,you can't be so naiv in the meantime to believe he made this map in 1 hour!i guess he means only for the ramps he need 1 hour - right crackling? stop to bullshit us.

have only a question on you.you say this is a mix of rov-blitz-bs.i see the blitz & rov elements too.what is like on blue storm again?

the size?!??

spinesheath
Before the update, the map wasn't all that nice, so it could have been 1 hour at that time.
SiaBBo
Lastcurse made ramps to him. Crackling just copied them.
Crackling
yes, the size.


no it really took me 1 hour to do it without the outpost ramps, again much thx to lastcurse for his work :D
LasTCursE
np ;) map makers must help eachouther :D
Testbug
you should try these ramps:
Yakkul
oh, i thought the bluestrom thing was the narrow path in the middle [/naive]

glad to see people good willed like lastcurse around =)
MorroW
i dont even know what naiv means ^^
Grief_Stricken
this constriction near the ice can't be really used as argue for a blue storm similarity;far-fetched.your analogy ignores entirely the blue storm setup.there are 2(and not 1) such contractions and between them a path that splits the map in 2 part(here not).also in blue storm they have a secondary access function to the nat.that's why your comparison is simply,wishful thinking.

morrow,don't mess with the bull son - you'll get the horns >.<

SiaBBo

SiaBBo
Ur crystal things dont show in game.
Crackling
thx siabbo, fixed

JungleTerrain
:O did my ramps get deleted? lol
Crackling
i used other inverted ramps :p
SiaBBo
Np. I just had to test it cuz i copied those to my map and they didnt work. :b I tried if those work with you. ;)
Crackling
uploaded epic replays
Testbug
wow, last wame was a lot like ride of valkyries
(i know you wanted to make something new, but it was like a rov copy)
did you feel you were on RoV while playing?
Crackling
yea it felt a lot like RoV and i liked it.
the thing on RoV was that after each player took his side it was more of a camp fest while the expoes here are more opened.
the expoes in the center are sooo crucial for gameplay (like 4. gas for z) and they are in a more or less neutral area.
it was looking like i'm losing so badly when joel was in my nat with his lurkerlingswarm combo but i knew he was running of 3 gas, and ultralurkerdefilerscourge is very hard out of 3 gases so i knew i have a chance if i can fight back and keep him on those 3 gases.

ok another update:

i made some more place behind the minerals at nats and also fixed the outpost ramps, lastcurse did a good job for the visuals of the ramp but it was so buggy and parts of it were unwalkable :(

ok now they are fine but look a bit worse than before :o
Nightmarjoo
Well I stopped trying and just 'a' on your nat with all my units for a while -_-
spinesheath
Which was quite obvious in the replay.
Crackling
noooonooo i suddenly started playing with my hands again (i was playing feetonly before) and as you can see my apm rised to 300 ez.
SiaBBo
Natural is pretty open. ;o

Watched replays. Map seems to work pretty well.

Nightmarjoo why u didnt made more upgs in tvz match? :b
MorroW
i saw the tvz replay, u both played off race or?

nice defiler micro anyway ^^

the map seems to have a good tvz play :) i wanna test it some games vs u too ^^
LasTCursE
Crackling made one new jungle map :] your map's are the coolest in the site :D:D

PP - i don't mean the other maps are bad!! don't get me wrong :D the other maps are cool too :]
SiaBBo
Come on LastCursE. Why the hell you comment shit to maps? You can tell those things with private messages.
nw.crackling
NO U
MorroW
cuse he is half retarded i suppose, name 1 thing he did that didnt annoy us all
Testbug
maybe... making unwalkable ramps?
Nightmarjoo
LOL
jeb
Cool map! The replays were enjoyable, although I was hoping for a zerg victory :)

The only problem I have with the map is that big platform in the middle. It looks like a big grey blob of greyness. Aren't there any useful doodads to spice it up a little?
Nightmarjoo
no

Sorry, if I knew someone cared I'd have put some effort into both games :)
Crackling
fixed minerals, island has only 1 gas, obs added

(thx to morrow who is a pretty handsome guy)
MorroW
hehe we played some games (i lost most) at it ^^

edit: oh u uploaded all of the games :P

btw t and p will probably need a supply/pylon to help the mineral incomes (like in some proleague maps). without it its kinda path issue

this map is very good , motm
