Ok so, experimental map time.

Now I know the first thing that probably hits is the unbuildable ground and the tightness that you would think promises T winrar. I however, disagree. Due to the 815 ramps, T needs a dropship to get tanks out of his main OR he has to sacrifice an expo to a factor+machine shop, and thats only one factory, and in most areas, the tanks are trapped and contained to that area.

My idea for this map was to create a map where you had the choice of using light units for a ground assault, or treating it like an air map, hence it being labeled Hybrid.

At the moment, I think its a bit too experimental for me to make any more balance comments/changes, so I turn it over to you BWMN.

All min blocks are 16.

Watcha think guys?

Interesting to say the least, however, since I am getting a bit rusty on picking up details about balance, I wont even try to, instead, I would like to suggest you make a few random blocks of dirt within the rockiness (small enough to be unbuildable), to make it appeal more to the eye, as I was turned off by the massive amounts rocky ground.



None.

It needs to be rocky so T cant manufacture tanks in select areas without sacrificing an expo or just dropping them in by air. Some 2x2 squares are going to be added for turrets but thats it.

I meant splotches so small that you can't build on them.

I really don't feel like doing that for the whole map just for aesthetics.

Remove a lot of rocky land so it allows buildspace. The map is too tight for P to move around in anyway. It needs to open up strategies like proxygates. Also, alot of those expos will leave zerg with no space at all- making it completely defenseless. It wouldn't be wierd if Terran didnt barge in with marines only.

Right Dazed. I'm adding in some turret/creep space.

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
