The sword and the faith

Doodading hasn't been done yet but I wanted to share my latest addition to both the Mod Night large maps and my current Phantom projects:

At first I was like whoa there's no doodads, maybe Ex is trying something new. But then I read the message. :rolleyes:

Oh well, since it's an Ex map it isn't finished until it gets shit on. ^^



None.

Very nice, But I could be wrong but wouldn't the map be a little bit of an advantage for T because of all the bridges?



None.

I like it. And that's saying alot because I hate symmetry.

I think the double chokes null that out.

The little pits around the middle expansions look amazing.

Also, I do not think it would be disadvantageous to Terran because of the bridges; there are only two for each main (from outside). Maybe two is too many though... I'm not sure. It would be fun with a three-way flank though; attack with massed units from front, drop assassins in mineral field (or on bridge that connects main and expo).

The only doodads I'm going to add are totally needed because they're walkable high plating doodads that make said plating unbuildable. There's no other way to do that on high ground.

Somewhat. It is a little T shifted but I'll see what I can do. Keep in mind, 2p, 3p, and 4p balance is not the same as 5p, 6p, 7p, or 8p balance.

The mid expos were a last minute afterthought and probably the best feature of the map.

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.
