Guardian's Grove
(2) Guardian's Grove v1.2 online on EU
My first map Guardian's Grove is a small and fast paced rotational symmetry map that has a rather simple layout with all expansions siuated in a circle around a central place. Positioning and controll of the map is important with an exceptional watchtower placement close to both high yield expansions that helps to scout movement along the alternative pathes. The map leaves it to the player to take controll of one of both high yield expansions before third and has an additional path between Natural and High Yield blocked with DRs. There is a dropzone close to the natural expansion that is connected to the centre via a wide. While the two-level cliff of both mains might help terran the map is balanced due to multiple options for attacking that makes manouvering important and balances out height advantages.

I'm working on a redesign.testing some changes in the layout:
there are also two threads to debate the changes: at sc2mapster forums
It's a masterpiece. I dare say it is close to the level of Blizzard's mapmakers.
One bug though: the minerals in the main bases are too close to the wall. I actually managed to trap a MULE behind them such that it couldn't get back to the base.
Nice work man. Two thumbs up ;) Looking forward to more (I'll be watching your profile here).
I don't think you can lock it on sc2mapster... you could possibly encrypt it.. (I think?) that way no one could open in editor but could still play it localy.
Could you please release on US server? Know anyone who could do it for you?
thanks for the comment - I still have to understand how to lock my map. I wnat to prevent it from being downloaded here, changed and republished. any advice?
I can't download
A Beautiful Map !
