I have been wanting to make a melee map that uses bridge tiles and use them to construct platforms over water. Sadly this is my first attempt, I know there's some balance issues with the bridges coming out of the main, but other than that, does it look good-ish?

Oh yeah and here's the map just in case you find it interesting.

Edit: Re-did the map

Interesting use of bridges but it is far too tight. If you can find a way to open up the map, it might work out. Also, try to stick to ONE enter/exit from the main, and a max of three from the nat, and keep in mind how Z has to sunk their nat.

Yeah the lone geyser is useless. And try to standardize the main/nat.

you could add minerals to that geyser to make it your nat, then take out the geyser from the other expo.

also that... between... it seems like terrans are able to protect the expos with some tanks on the "buildings" at the sites... or am I wrong?

ma facit: looks nice but terran is totally overpwerd... and zerg totally underpowerd [small entries]

There is a significant Terran advantage with the usage of tight choke points. This may be an interesting map to play a mod on though...

Well, I'll remake this map in some way, I just wanted to see how the outcome would look by using bridge tiles.
I'll see what I can dig out in the next version.

the terrain is great at all!!
just the unit-placements [recources and start-locations] are bad...
you may try sth like that with jungle with "bridge-wall" would look epic i guess ;)

Ok, I've tried to balance it a bit more. What do you think?

A slightly edited version of this map might work really well for my mod project. Is it okay if I use this map for that purpose? I will credit you, of course.



None.

The map totally kills a Zerg Rush Strategy. But yea, its a bit nicer.

Dungeon Master

Move the nat out farther so Z can protect their main with sunkens at their nat.

O-tay, I think that's the only problem left right?

Well, there are undoubtedly other issues, I just don't know enough to spot them :P

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:
