The Planetary Workshop

thats my new one, give me ur advice without the fluff^^



the main, natural into third is a copy from Circuit Breaker. i like it so much so i used it in a 1v1 map.

to me the map looks a bit too big and there are some small scale details in the layout that i think are not really needed. if you simplify it a bit it will allow the 'same' layout in smaller overall size.

anyway i think the clockwise third(?) should be closer to the nat just out of reach of siegetanks or even closer but then with a walkable cliff + ramp. otherwise cliff shouldn't be walkable.

I love the area over the high yield, but the path there looks a bit narrow.

here is an image:

thx for the suggestions. gonna see what i can get.

i allready designed a bit and it looks just awesome <3....be ready for the pictures

should i add doodads in the white area or not? some trees or rocks or whatever. now it feels like a mystic place which kinda fits with the name

changelog?

or is it only the visuals?

oh hm i changed some minor stuff. basically what u showed me in ur pic.



u should play a game on the map to see how it feels

ok i desgined the rest ~~

just took a look at it ingame and the map is beautiful as usual
i was originally worried about having so many parallel paths in the middle area, but it doesn't bother me as much ingame.
one thing i noticed was that the upper gold expansions is probably covered by the double highground + doodads too much.
you could probably build a turret behind the mineral without it being easily seen/targeted. so i'd suggest to add some extra space inbetween to move the expansion away from the cliffs a little.

I will give it a try later today when I am back from work!

i had some kind of a problem. there is no good fourth to take as zerg.
maybe redesign the lowground with the gold again and add a fourth there in some way?
i could also swap the gold with the normal minerals at the edge. that might be good, but then its pretty vulnerable
