ideas for map

[odin002]

Hello dear mappers : D To be honest, I would like to see more team games map (3v3 or 4v4 <3) where you can expand by behind, and which is not a turtle map. Don't hesitate to ask for advises for your map.

A bit like daring pursuit if you don't see what I mean, but without being close to the ennemy base by 1cm(and not too far though, otherwise it's not the idea of "expanding by behind" anymore). I think this new kind of map have a huge potential but no map is like that(only one daring pursuit, but it has a big issue that we are way too close to the ennemy base..)

Just a suggestion though. : p

An other kind of map could be a teamgame map where there is no mex but only lot of reclaim (but no ML or huge stuff like that), and people will have to count on reclaim.. Or it could be a map with very few mexes (2/3) but lot of reclaim.

EDIT : I renamed the topic, not "make a map where you expand" anymore.

How do you make a map that is not a turtle map but where you exand behind you and you are not very close to the enemy? I think this is a "pick 2 out of 3" scenario.

Imagine daring pursuit, from the center to your base on the actual daring pursuit it's a distance of X meters.
Now if the distance from the center was something like 1,2*X or 1,5*X, the game won't end in 7/8minutes, and you could expand by behind. And even in the case there is not much to expand behind on daring pursuit, you can always remove a bit the moutains at the border of the map to add more space/mexes.

(taking this map as an example since it's the only one which is a map where you expand by behind... =( )

Well you make it 'not a turtle map' by not having a chokepoint. So the enemy acu is closish, but you can send units around the side to raid. He will need an army to defend.

This is a good idea. Maybe Daring Pursuit would be less insane if players started just outside of the inner region instead.

For a 1v1 map, something like dry canyon if you started at the hydro, and mexes at your start position. Maybe it would need to be opened up a little because the map might shut down once there is an ACU on each side.
