These are some of my melee maps, which can also be found at SC.org. Since I'm going to be focusing on modding for a while, I've decided that I might as well put them up here.

i looked at 2 of them i believe it will go for all but these are very unbalanced >< sorry if i come off as mean but u just can't throw together a melee map or its going to end up like hunters and be a boring piece of crap were 1 race dominates all (like toss on hunters) because i think these are ur first melee maps at least ur trying but maybe look into how melee maps should be made (tl.net good map makers post there maps there very often and a lot of them r nice)

Hmm, could you possibly go into deeper detail (as in to whom they're imbalanced and why?). Thank you for the constructive criticism. Indeed, these are my first maps, and I'm looking to improve.

EDIT: I looked at which ones had DL's, and those were the earlier ones (before I started looking at PGT and WGT). Check out Condescension; it's my newest and probably most balanced.

ya i checked out the last 1 and it seems too blocky and narrow other then the middle it would be hard to flank a terran push also ur main can be tanked from other side of wall >< also the choke afer the natural expo t can wall there and easy fast expo not enough minerals or gas and i could go on about this

Eh, you saw Consolidations, which I admit I screwed up pretty badly on. And I'm thinking that they're too many resources for a 2-player map.

Please, if you have the time, do go on. Every bit helps.

It seems too blocky.Not seems, is. I hate to be mean. I am not a melee map maker, but everything is square and perfect, and that doesn't really cut it on melee maps.

Also, I noticed a lot of unused doodad space, having more doodads tends to make the map look better. I am no melee player, or maker for that matter, but I do recognize how well the terrain design is. (I know a lot about triggers, but the hard thing for me making maps is trying to set up the terrain, I have no idea how I want it to look, and cannot acheive usally what I went it to look like, execpt for one map, I have never achieved it.)

Yes, that map is too blocky. I'm having my doubts for hosting that particular one.

Condescension is a lot smoother, and represents the new genre of maps that I'm producing now.

Ive read through a bunch of these threads and absolutely every one of these kids is an overcritical punkass. I think the ice map is pretty cool, it inspired me to make a new ice map. If you guys are such experts on map making, I'd like to see some of the ones you've built that you consider the best.

Ok, I made most of these maps befor I started modding.
