| I like the idea and I like the random gold patches. However, the chokes are too small! Would certainly favor Terran and Protoss. |

| I think you should try and make normal maps, when you get some basic idea on how to make a balanced map you can start doing wacky things. This map will never be balanced or fun to watch, even when making a rush map you need to keep some basic rules. |

Some tips:
Keep the burning asteroid theme. Its one of the more unique ones out there and would be interesting for spectators as a theme.
Make the map bigger. At least 4 spawning locations so meta strats currently can be used on the map.
Chokes need to be wider or at least designed with all 3 races in mind. |

It's a good concept, but as the others have pointed out it breaks almost all the generally accepted rules for melee maps. You need more expansions (Also, the existing ones should have 8 blue minerals and 2 vespene, or 6 gold minerals and 2 vespene). Plus the random mineral patches to the north are pretty useless.Plus the odd chokes, small size, etc.
That said, it does look very pretty. I like the aesthetic quality, however the actual gameplay aspect isn't very good. |

| I think there are some missconceptions in this thread. Unless he blocked the pathing, which I doubt, there are no chokes on this map. Its completely open. |

| Opened this map up in the editor. I looks ok...but entirely unplayable. If anything, I wouldn't consider this a map at all, rather just a piece concept art. If you want to get into mapmaking, I can assure you that you will have to use normal cliffs, pathing, and mineral line setups. Otherwise your map will never be played or have any sort of chance being used in a tournament. Last edit: 2012-06-16 05:21:11 |

It probably still won´t be played. Who plays melee maps, really? |
