I couldn't get enough decent players to play (no B- ever plays UMS), so these C reps will do: (4 total)

The concept of the map is the usage of basilica as terrain in lieu of using high dirt cliffs to produce elevation. Basilica is normally unbuildable, so no Twilight map had this sort of terraining prior to this. Everything is vision/hit tested, including the stacked high basilica. (Thanks to HK for the method of blending basilica!)

TvP is definitely balanced as seen through testing; cheese rush builds like 5pool are not strong here due to rush distance. I have not seen enough zerg plays to comment on Z balance but it does not appear too bad at the moment.

I'm guessing someone else will probably tell you, so ill tell you first. The upper high ruins shouldn't be tankable, so I guess try and make it so people can't land units up on the upper-most cliffs



None.

He means the ones in the upper left and right corners. Terrans could land siege tanks up there and blast the crap out of the main's mineral line. Big advantage for Terran, if they can get there without the opponent noticing. If the enemy has no air units, and the terran gets enough tanks up there, those tanks are never coming down.

I love the atmosphere of this map. Very gloomy.

NudeRaider -- Oh_Man
Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
[2026-9-23. : 2:29 am]
Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?
[2026-9-22. : 12:32 pm]
Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[2026-9-22. : 8:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[2026-9-22. : 8:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.
