Hey guys. I'm new here. Can you give me some suggestions on how I can improve my maps? Thanks. :D
JungleTerrain
gas issue, map image issue, the natural doesn't cover the choke into the main
frossi
1. What gas issue?
2. Why does the natural have to cover the choke into main?

Play Lost Temple. Choose Zerg. Spawn on 12.
Then all of your questions will be answered.

1. Gas issue is when you put... Nevermind. Here.

2. If natural doesn't cover mains, it is impossible to go for a 2 hatch build, since you can't make a sunken line to defend against an mm force.

Doesn't Python also have this same gas problem at two of its naturals then?
coV
the gas problem only refers to the main...where the gas is either on top of to the left...the other gas like naturals and etc are supposed to be mirrored.
JungleTerrain
as CoV says, the gas issue only refers to the gas in the MAIN BASES. ALL other gases outside the mains are exempt from the gas issue. The reason for the gas issue is that different placements of the vespene gas node mine at different rates, and sometimes the gap in mining capacity between two locations is too big for a balanced game, with one player receiving significantly more gas from their mining, while the other player is left at a terrible resource disadvantage. In mirror match-up battles, where gas is essential, such as ZvZ, it can make a big difference whether the extra 100 gas you have accumulated as the result of the gas issue over the other player, as you would be able to make 1 more mutalisk or scourge, which can be a big decision maker on who wins the game. To avoid these imbalances, we try to place the gases in the best mining positions, but only in the mains.
I know that's a lot to read, but we also have more on this subject on the articles section on the right. There, you can also learn the best gas positions for the mains.

Cool up date, pics are now much better, however I do think the size of the map is way to big for this concept, I think u need a combination with a 96 size.
Like the middle deco tho

How do I change the dimensions to 128x96? Whenever I do, the bottom part of the map gets cut off. modified by frosSi
