Ok, this is the first map in our mapsuite (götter is the fourth and last)
This is a classic 2 player map with a quite simple layout. I expect Empyrean to post the ideas behind the map since he made the treeain for this one. i merely added a few suggestions :)
Starparty
btw the hillexpands still seem kinda uneven. First of all the right one still has less building space, and it also has more vurnerable minerals than the left one.
flothefreak
quite a lot of expos, and I cannot make a connection between the map and its name in any way :D
still, a quite solid map with no experiments. should be ok to play :)
Listoric
Rheingold - Götterdämmerung - Heard of Wagner before? ;) (actually i would not know this if i wasn't asking myself last week :P)
Starparty
Our next map will be Siegfreid :P (yes, i just pattented(typo?) that name)
Starparty
and valkyrie too btw

It looks very tasty to me, i would play it for sure, but isn't the air expand too much... eh rich? The map is only for 2 players, and there are many expands, so i think this air expand is too much. Look GMSC.
Empyrean
The decoration took me hours. I have custom doodads and doodads from other tilesets. Check out the black mineral expansions!
The minerals don't do anything though. They're just decoration ;)
Listoric
It's "Siegfried" :)
And, that are sprites, no doodads, or am i wrong? Looks good, but i'd say its to few decoration really. A problem with Ashworld anyway... also you can do a lot with lava, and ground in lava, well. Looks good with these sprites anyway. Even if it's not editable with STaredit (just closes with an error :/)
Empyrean
Yes, those are sprites.
And I should probably spice up the middle, but I can't really do anything about the mains since Dirt is the only buildable terrain on ashworld :[
flothefreak
correct me if I'm wrong, but units can walk through sprites, right?
this will look very strange when dropping a few units directly into those sprites...
Starparty
Half of the doodads in original SC are sprite-based too. dont start whine about this because that will really piss me off :P
flothefreak
well, a tank below a rock would be quite ridiculos T_T
Starparty
its not like it cant be destroyed. But i know what youire meaning. Since they are sprited they can be placed anyway. Perhaps add normal doodads behind them to fixx that
