Vårens Töväder = Swedish for Thawing of the Spring (or more litterally: The Spring's Thawing Weather).

Just realized I never uploaded this here...

There have been some bugfixes since the last version.

Fantastic stuff.
1496. Hallucinated ursadons. Gas mining doodads.
Its all rather good.

I rated it 0 when I meant to rate it 9 oops

1496? Mineral counts? Cannot remember how I set them.
The halucinated Ursas Pandabearguys are just for the worker spawn optimization at top position.
The other Ursas have reduced HP, though, so they can be easily killed with a worker if they happen to block an expo.

Waited till the end. And wow! New maps! You guys are awesome. Great work.

Wow GREAT map! Deserves some attention

genius way to solve the worker spawn positional imbalance. was this your idea freakling or has it been done before on another map?

I have done this on other maps, for example on (5)Quintessence and earlier on (2)Blood & Iron.

First one to actually ever openly address this method in some sort of guide was Crystal on TL.net, however, but he suggested some less refined method using neutral buildings, I think, which had some stack bug issues (the bug where you can build on top of your main building in-gmae where pre-placed neutral building units [including resources] were removed).
There have been many earlier attempts of doing this, by Crystal and others (there is some korean map in the database, I think, that uses installation turret unit sprites for the same effeft, but, obviously, those have the problem of not disappearing on free spawns; One of Testbug's(?) old maps has spawns blocked by neutral temples, however, just to block quick expos; plus: it causes really bad stack bug...), which all did only partially work because of stack bug issues.

Why nowadays since 2007 there is no challenge MOTW? Because no one except Freakling, CrystalDrag and other foremans are working and doing it without real mapmakers is null and void?

im not really map making...

Pretty much. Also, even the maps amde usually miss all deadlines because making a map nowadays is a much more sophisticated process than it used to be.

Fixed an issue with the bottom low ground expo being less cliffable than the other ones...

Love it! Shame the title set does not help, but great job!

Nice.

1. You can use some flags(unit sprite) to make same effect with 12s halucinated minerals and Ursadons.

See my map as example.

2. I think 8's building space is slightly bigger than others....

never mind.

"Nice."
Thank you.

How can I download from there?

You can use any unit,
but the advantage of using hallucinated units is that they disappear shortly after game start, so they cannot get in the way of standard gameplay.

I don't think it matters much, I mostly tried to balance out other things, such as boundaries exposed to drops, width of paths etc.
I always try to shift as much of the asymmetry on (3)/odd player maps to the mains and other open spaces, because that is where they matter the least.
