<3 This map.
Few problems though:
Problem: Move player 1's gas to the left. Its open to speedzeal attacks.
Problem: Mains are big.

I cant really see any problems right now, so I will get back to you with more of them later.
Now...

Sexy, right? Doodads aren't complete.

Why is there so much unbuildable terrain above the nat leading to a... min only?
There is no 4th gas.
Your bases are HUGE. GINORMOUS. They are so huge that the size actually makes it unfavorable to all races.
There are way too many min-only expansions and too few gas, suggest changing 6/12 ones to gas expansions.
Move Geyser up for the 10 o'clock spawn to make it less vulnerable/more efficient.
The power generators' positions mean they do not actually accomplish ANYTHING.
No ovie-safe cliff above the natural for the 4 o'clock one.
Tanks can hit the main from the middle. Natural is too hard to defend late game.
Two of the temple stacks will never actually be touched, but keep them there anyways since they do make a difference.

@doomedrusher
Excuse me, but I say this is in the nicest way possible:
It seems you have fuck all idea of what you're doing.

I made the mains smaller.

They're still huge.
I guess its the way the map is made. You cant really fix the mains now without adding a huge amount of tessellated high ground.

Or just add some undroppable temple space; it doesn't obstruct much and shrinks the main a ton by draining buildable space.

(I wasn't talking about the mains, I was referring to your expansions... Your mineral only bases are THE SAME SIZE AS THE MAINS. That doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.)

@ The Min-onlys
Actually, thats part of the center, not the min only. So yeah, not as big as the mains.

Updated: Added high ruins to minonlys and finished doodads.

Like I said, move player 1's gas to the left.
Problem: Minonlys are still huge
Problem: Mains are huge.
Problem: How many temples are there?
Problem: If there is less than 4 temples, make it so there is 6. Avoiding SimCity is a pain in my ass when I face zerg or terran.
Problem: Remove the generators and replace it with some kind of non-repairable sprite. Terran can just bottleneck the bridge and repair the generators as they take damage.



None.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
