Here's a map that I'm almost done with. The only major thing that I have to do is extend the ramp where the large red circles are in the middle (it's so tedious; I don't wanna do it D:). The minerals circled in green in the mains have values of 500, while the minerals circled in red have values of 2500.

One thing that leaps out at me is that you only have eight mineral patches on the map and only six geysers. I'm not an authority on that, but it seems like a problem to me...



None.

Tankable area behind main mineral patch?

Otherwise.. looks cool :D



None.

Blue's entrance leading to the mineral-only looks a bit tight compared to Red's.

Is it just me or are the mains really big?



None.

Not just you. Dem0n's done this before.



None.

I definitely like the maps concept and elements but I'm just not sure about some of the execution at this point. We'll see how it goes.

Sorry for the long delay on the update. Ex is helping me do the ramps in the middle, so we'll see how it looks after he's done. ^^

Yeah I've been kind of busy, I'll get to it when I can.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:
