Asteroid Barricade - version 0.7
Uploaded - [NA] [EU] [KR] [SEA]

2 player spawn, map bounds: 168x144
2 xel'naga tower, 12 8m2g bases (10 expansions), 2 6m2g high yield expansions

M2M: 50 (from corner), Main ramps: 40, N2N: 38 (from corner)

Asteroid Barricade is a large, macro oriented 2-spawn map by Samro225am. Two plateaus with gold bases and highround ledges on both sides of a direct attack path structure the map into two halves.

I like the concept thought here, the expansion flow confuses me a little, how did you imagine it to happen, top down?

The texturing is nice too, however, it does make me feel a little claustrophobic, looking at the overview.

(*)After looking at it again it seems pretty nice overall, it really is claustrophobic but it looks like you're making good use of the space it has, I imagined some hurtful strategies though, its still pretty kool.

Nice job. I think maps like this aren't as flashy as so many of the submissions, but ultimately might be better from a gameplay standpoint. I wouldn't mind seeing it as a finalist.

accidentally published as arcade before. re-published and fixed smaller texture mistakes and a missing doodad. we are at 0.3 now.

edit: for some odd bug with old battlenet info taken over from an old map we are now at v0.6

the rock-secured pocket third is a good way to go forward and potentially grab the gold. A more conservative way to expand is in linear fashion along the left or right map border. obnviously you could expand pocket third first and then go to the outside and grab gold whenever you see fit.

the terrain is designed to be quite unforgiving with some choked areas, the two ledges and the ramps here as well as the open fields. overall the map is quite big btw.

That's true, the map is actually pretty big, I think maybe my claustrophobia came from the expansions rather than the middle?

The middle of the map has some pretty kool interactions too, I just wonder how zerg will perform here (when they lose map presence or are hard pressed)

Asteroid barricade pretty decent imo

Did you also fix the way the units keep on clipping through the ramp doodads? It's kinda annoying. I think Shiva had a similar problem.

Solid and unique map, excellent layout. It's rather large at 168x144 though, and expansions keep getting further and further away. At the same time though, it's difficult to attack due to the restricted pathways.

I really like the plateaus that the gold bases are located on and the low ground third in front of the main. The gold expansions are relatively far from each player and it's interesting how the rock placement really improves their defense.

I want to thank everybody who gave me feedback after watching or playing the map!

v0.8

- all ramps without lighting effects
- all ramps checked to have man-made cliff terrain instead of natural
- enhanced pathing
- no more clipping
- few small texture changes


Also, here are some top down images of all areas:

I really liked it!

Very well done macro map, so i don't have much to say.

Maybe the gold base don't have to be a gold? It looks quite safe and might become the standard 4th base instead of a greedy and risky choice, but maybe that was your intention.

I want it on ladder.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.
