Threw it together pretty quickly for how much detail's in it. About 4 hours.

Helpful feedback appreciated.

Version 1.1
-Deco finished
-Gas at top/bottom exps switched over to adjacent min only expos
-Previously mentioned min only expos' placement rearranged
-Two bridges in the middle by the expos have been slightly widened
-Mineral blocks removed from natural backdoor to encourage them actually being used

I Like It!
Does my use of capitalization express to what extent?


I like the low ground main to high ground nat. I like two player maps more than 3 or 4 because if it's got this basic main/natural layout, zerg cannot so easily capture as many resources. Good judgment on most aspects.


We need a way to get people to regularly play maps and provide better feedback.

Yeah, I make maps fully aware that the chances are nobody will play them. I just do it for fun but still like to make it balanced in case someone likes it enough to play it. Only the WGT maps get played for the most part. :><:

Zerg has a little too much of a difficulty with grabbing gas outside the natural because the middle gas is a late game investment and the corners are too far away. Right now I'm working on moving the corner expos toward the middle and switching the gas over the min only next door. That aside, nobody's been able to find much else to fix outside of the fact that I need to finish decoing it.

I play your maps :(. My favorite map of all time (besides Longinus) probably was Mrymidon, and possibly this one, as well.

I love it. I like how the corner expos are really big so people can build bases there just like in 3-4 player maps. Very creative expo layout, btw.

I like it. I'm a T player, and on the previous version I just loved only having to protect the ramp choke thing with tanks, and blasting anything that comes near. Now, I have to protect that other ramp, and it's harder to defend, but still balanced. GJ.

NudeRaider -- Oh_Man
Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider yeh thts straight up cheating
the mutas yes, the wraiths probably not. Have you even watched the video? ;)

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
[10:09 am]
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
[2026-9-23. : 2:30 am]
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.
