I will publish to sea for you.

Ok. I'll send it to you soon. It's 5 am, im finishing up the last testings. The map is already published on US! (coming on EU today)

Awesome map is awesome. Gotta play it today :D.

Would be nice to see some explaining on how you did those beams. I suddenly got a load of ideas on how they could be used to make new gameplays lol.

PS: You didn't travel to any foreign country to advertise it like with Banana Cheaters? :(

PS2: Nah, don't say you were in Rome for vacation, we all know the truth!

The beams are a combination of lots of bangs with my head on the wall to accomplish something with the data editor and some Debates pixie dust. It indeed can lead to several types of gameplay.

Yeah. I was in Rome to play Debates, but no one wanted to play with me. So I had to make Banana Cheaters. :D

NEXUS HINDRANCE WAS HAS BEEN PUBLISHED ON US.

(Map sent to EagleSight already. It can be on EU at anytime from now).

I want to play now lol.

The first idea is giving a player 2 crawlers and making beams reflect moving balls or stuff, and play some sort of tennis. So many possibilities :P.

You should travel more to places where they don't want to play Debates xD.

Two questions:

1. Do the mildly eccentric videos actually help in any way?

2. Hindrance? How did you come up with that name?

<- Number 1 Highscore on EU-Server 8-)

But as a huge fan of your other maps, Rodrigo, I feel obliged to say... that this one is quite boring. :/ At least in my opinion. It's better than Nexus Wars, I'll give it that. :D
Maybe we can play it at mapnight (yes, I'll plan on making it this week!) and find some more fun. My testing parties were not very enthusiastic.

come on give us mapper a hint:) is it pure data? just very interested in the technical aspect

Played it and liked it then disliked it. It's fun and unique at first but after a while it just drags on for way too long.Being able to block units causes people to just block off their base making it super turtle status. Only way for someone to attack is to give up a spine crawler to burrow and attack the base itself. But that was just a 2v2 I can only imagine a full game. Needs something to give it spice. It doesn't feel rodrigo to me.

I recommend changing the name to Desert Nexus Hindrance Arena Wars or SOTIS for short.

No. It is a combination of data and triggers.

I'm really impressed people on EU didn't like as much as people on US. The game is less intense than my other maps. It's more relaxing, but you still have to do lots of micro with the crawlers. It's really fun when the whole team makes strategies. We played an awesome game where our team was united as SPARTAAAAA. lol. We were like "CLOSE! BRING! PSI STORM! OPEN LINE 3! UPGRADE SPEED! COUNTER-ATTACK NOW!! " lol.

Blocking their base is useless.

1st: You can easily send crawlers to burrow close to their crawlers and destroy them opening the base.

2nd: If they psi storm your crawlers, that means they closed their base too close, so they don't have much space for units. Then you just have to send reapers and colossus to jump the cliff.

3rd: If they did find a way to block the cliff, just send air and the game is over in 2 minutes.

Here's the NHW thread on US: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2869127092

Make the lasers cut units in half instagibbing them rather than block lol.

if i may,

2/by opening his mind (and a dictionary)

1/advertising is an exact science, so i'd say yes..

it helps to give incentive.. now as to "incentive to what?".. who knows? ;)

I thought in doing that. It's easy to do, but that would make the game really boring. You would just burn all enemy units and it's over! No one would never win :P

Btw, I added a DEATHMATCH mode on NHW during a long game. On the Deathmatch, players can't use Nexus abilities (such as psi storm, repair, and create new crawler) and all units have only 10% life. There's also several bugs fixed and lots of balance changes. It's published on US, and I already sent to EagleSight to publish on EU whenever he wants to (version 1.1).

Yeah, same, the beams feel a bit weird after a while, lol. Also, having to build with the crawlers is annoying, needing to deactivate beam mode and the move it away from wherever you have it.

Crawlers are so insane, maybe give them less speed or allow beams only when they root or something. I don't know, gotta play it more :).

@Lonami: Go

Try the new version! It's already on US and EU. Btw, top ranking on US is over 500.
