Bladestorm
Team Liquid Thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=132800
Remake of the ever popular competitive 2vs2/1vs1 map, with great attention to scaling and balance. I kept the doodads to a minimum to ensure the integrity of the original Starcraft map. Enjoy this classic and let me know if there might be any enchancements that I am missing.

Posted Jun 27, 2010Me and a guy in TL debated that for almost an hour, and came to the conclusion that in sc2, distances should be lowered as much as possible, due to what day9 insists such as creep highways, and rushes.
In-game there is actually quite a rush distance. But as we both know, only testing will determine the true feeling of the map.

Posted Jun 27, 2010concept and design of the minimap is really something. minimap looks awesome with minerals as white, and angled the way they are
who knows about balance, but that can shape and mold adjustments to the map while essentially keeping your design concept.
i would suggest a larger map size. everything seems too close and packed, where long ranged units have just a huge advantage. with larger distances, that becomes less significant. the center is somewhat small and hard to flank as well.

Posted Jun 22, 2010Really like some of the texture work in this map. The map looks surprisingly good even with minimal doodads.
Hard to say if it's balanced or not, as it's definitely not a "normal" sc2 melee map. Would love to give it a try though!
