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.

blends well... anyway, you are pro in terraining... so it wasn't hard to make for you, i guess^^
the second geysire at each main is useless...

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

ahhh... I just see it now... terran is overpwerd here: just camp behind the buildings and pwn the enemy's workers with a tank.... the main recources should be placed somewhere else^^

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

also a good idea


you may should have pimped the 2 islands

Sadly, it seems Terrans can easilly choke poin the bridge(s).

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.

sssssuuuurrreeee o.o

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

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

looks perfect in my eyes now... well done

but is it possible to mine those chunks at those islands at the middle?
