While Broodwar mapping seems to be in quite an interesting situation right now, with custom terrain, sprite usage and now even null terrain-implementations as exciting mapping techniques allowing to realise many crazy map ideas, I personally look forward to SC2 and its map editor too. And right now I am planning to do something similar to BWMN for SC2...in the distant future ;)
Anyway, let's already start discussing what the BWMN-sequel for SC2 should look, feel and smell like:

Well, you've had about three days to vote (someone decided to invisible the competition), and it looks like we have a pretty clear winner:
Congratulations, StarParty! Your map, BlodGrape has won!

A very interesting and unusual map, StarParty's Blodgrape will provide many exciting and unique games. It perfectly incorporates the Fast & Slow concept by placing two fast resource nodes in the centre of the map. This allows any player willing to defend the highly contested middle an economic boost which should produce some intriguing game dynamics.
Other innovative features of this map include cliffs everywhere that are blocked off by neutral buildings, creep on the natural cliffs, and a comstat inside the in-base expansion for Terrans.
So congratulations again StarParty, and thanks to everyone who participated. Now let's upload some great replays for this map :)

The Long awaited MOTM 7 - 9 | 08 of October 2007 04:47 AM |

I'm only going to indulge you fellow BWMNers with short summaries of the next three maps that i am presenting to you all.
I'll start off with MOTM 7 with (2)Silver Flush by Crackling, Testbug, and flothefreak! Now this map still has a few ramp blends that need to be addressed but never the less, the map does play nicely and those blends do not affect gameplay.
The map not only has a great and fun layout, but it is executed with great precision. The concept is 'peaks of baekduish' and 'Fantasy-like' which is complex to the eye at first but easily learned. Congratulations to Crackling, Testbug, flothefreak for making a great map for the community.
MOTM 8 is taken again but the co-author of (2)IronFlush, Testbug, with (3)EndlessFields. This map is definently awesome by concept and execution which is something many of us are happy see at BWMN.
Although the tile blends are not all perfect, I wouldn't expect them to be with a concept and design like this. The layout is very nice though fairly basic; almost longinus like besides the backdoor at the nats and different natural elevations. Congratz to Testbug on another MOTM!
MOTM 9 is a sexy island map ProTosS4EveR named (4)Erebos. The execution is magnificent and the flow is very nice as well as far as ground units go on this map.
The map features 4 creep colonies where Zergs can use the creep to expand/move it's forces (the nydus canal). The rest of the map is very basic and would fit well into any four player map. Great expansion placement and terrain variety in this map as well. Congratulations to ProTosS4EveR! |

Map preview | 12 of September 2007 10:51 AM |

For every map where there is a reasonably-sized picture file, there should be a 256*x-sized preview picture that is displayed in the map thread now. Some maps were that huge that the picture could not be generated because the PHP-Server was not willing to allocate that much memory for the image-processing. Re-upload the picture file if it does not show for your map atm.
If there are any cool new bugs because of that feature, let me know. I collect them like Pokémons. |
