Fairly even distances for ground/cliff/air units, perfectly symmetrical, awful terrain. For 1v1, 2v2, FFA.

Mains still seem a bit too small,
And the map in general is too tight.

Also, the expos in the middle have awkwardly placed minerals again. Please just stop putting minerals in the middle of the field..

Also, what are the junks surrounding the map? Makes the map look strangely interesting.
I think you could've used the space to put some Island Expos.

Concept wize, it isn't so great, as the map is too tight overall... huge disadavantage for melee units D:
I liked Effluvia better.. .. that map can also use some island expos :D.

The mains are huge. This is an 'epic' size map.

It has a greater average openness than any Blizz made SC2 map. So no, it's not too tight.

I don't care if you think they're awkwardly placed. I put them that way for a reason - So those expos are hard to defend from drops on the high ground islands.

They're building doodads. It's a city tilesets.

What the fuck is it with you an island expos? They're massively imba for Terran.

Well, the building doodads can be placed in a better order.
I can't tell if it's epic size, cause your images are always so small.

They aren't imbalanced for terran if you put some destructible objects there. No need to start raging O.o
It'd give the map more strategy.

meh @ your reason for placing the minerals that way.

Yes they are, but regardless, that's not an island expo anymore.

Huh? I don't understand your argument here...

If you put destructible Objects there, the only Advantage terran has is the ability to float a CC, and start chipping at it with 5 SCV's.
For real games, it'd be wise to not waste time like that until you have air units, vikings, or dropships to destroy the rocks and make room for the CC.
This puts Terran at about the same time as the other races. ... Unless i'm forgetting something.

Also, how is it not an island expo? Island expos can't be reached by ground, that's the criteria.. Are there other criteria that i'm not aware of??? It seems quite straight forward..

Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting

Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units

Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff

Vrael -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

Oh_Man -- U reckon? Kasparov waa defeated by computer decades ago

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface

NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.
