Full Overview:
+ Show Spoiler +
Map Status: Published on NA and EU!
Name: The Eighteenth
Version: 1.7
Spawns: 3 (2, 10, 6)
Bases: 15
Won Map of the Month 4! =D
My Thoughts:
This map is intended to be used in MotM #4, the three spawn month. Being an avid golfer, I thought it would be fun to make a map designed around a golf course. One thing I think there may be a problem with is the ease of access of taking a 3rd base. Thoughts about that would be nice, as well as any other changes you think this map could benefit from.

I think "Hole in One" would be a better name. 
Really good job on the textures, although perhaps confusing to play on it looks awesome.
I think I've seen the main/natural/third set-up before somewhere (EDIT when I find it)
This will work really well competively.
Additional Q: Is the flag a XWT? Cause that'd be cool, however confusing for players though. |

I tried to make the flag a XWT, but I couldn't figure it out. So instead, there are no XWT's. |

That is an absolutely amazing looking map. As for layout:
it is VERY interesting. The two matchups you have to worry about are ZvT and ZvP.
ZvP: I am worried that the expos might all be too close together. This gives a Zerg no chance to remax when losing a fight. If he loses a fight he is guaranteed to lose the game if the Protoss deathball is anywhere near his base. Other than that I don't think it's bad.
ZvT: I think this map will be really cool for this due to the air positions. As Terrans are tending more to drop play late in the game this will have interesting dynamics. Additionally, the planetary-able third is actually really cool. I really like how this looks. |

Looks really cool. I am no golf player, but I am sure going to test out this map. One thing that would be cool though is to have like a third of the map being the rough (darker grass) with some trees and stuff like as it is at the starting positions. Right now it feels as the awesome golf grass texture dominates a little too much. It would bring a more diverse feel to it. Great work man.

I love the idea and the desing! The look of this map is just awesome.
However, I have some concerns in terms of map balance.
So, is this map rotational balanced? Because if I spawn at 6 and my opponent spawns at 11, I can easiliy harass his main with air units or do drops whereas he has to make a huge detour. On the hand, if we assume the same spawning locations, it is way easier and safer for the 11 o'clock player to take his gold than for the 6 o'clock player.
Well maybe this balances things a bit. At least it looks like an interesting dynamic that might occur.
Well, just my thoughts and 2 cents. |

@Peterblue
Hmm, I'm not exactly sure what to say about the expos being close together. I do agree they are very close, but I guess I'll have to see how it plays out.
@Summerfield
Sorry
@lamyournoob
The problem in designing a 3 player map is that it has to be rotationally symmetrical. I can only make reflectional symmetry with 2/4 player maps. I suppose the player counter-clockwise of their opponent could take the gold that is counter-clockwise of them? lol, that was confusing, but I hope you understand. |

Hm, can't you remove all the rocks? Right now rush distance is really long anyway, and I think the way the natural is it wouldn't hurt.
The rocks hinder Zerg from expanding away from their opponent (to the gold) when they spawn counter-clockwise.
I would also like a watchtower in the middle cause it's very open which is good for Zerg so maybe give the terrans something to work with.
I'm really concerned that Protoss will have an easy time going to three base on this map which results in the so called (imbalanced) deatball. Maybe you should think about adjusting the mineral/gas numbers on the bases.Last edit: 2011-02-21 23:07:47 |

This is an awesome idea and looks just great!!
Only problems I see is that the mains appear very small and that it might be possible to siege the HY from the 2 o'clock main. |

| LOL, I fucked up the player properties so this map wasn't even playable... haha. Just fixed it a republished . Also, when I get home from school, I'll see what I can do about the flag. |

as an avid golfer myself, i cannot speak after looking at this. its beautiful.
WE MUST HAVE A FLAG!!! also, this is dangerously close to another aztec map... only the main is highground and the spawn points are moved a bit. |
