Map details
This is my new 1v1 map. I think it's fairly balanced. The main bases gives a good view of the surrounding but they both have two entrances. The naturals are nearby and I don't think they should be tough to defend. Once again, there is two entrances to the naturals.
Like other 1v1 maps, each players have two other expansions to secure. One of them have it's easiest way blocked by rocks. The other expo is in a more or less remote location.
There are two golds, both blocked by rocks. One have the high ground advantage but is in the middle and it can be spotted by the two watchtowers. The last gold is hidden in the bottom of the map (I think the watchtower barely miss it, not sure)...
Making-of
Making this map was tougher that it look like. Since the symmetry axis is a diagonal, I couldn't use the copy/paste option for all the map. About 75% of the map was "handmade" using drawing tricks to ensure a (almost) perfect balance.
I took a lot of time placing the doodads, blending the textures, adjusting the lights, etc. It gave me new ideas for an upcoming map.
The map name came after all the project was complete. If you look at the map and tilt your head 45° to the left, you may see a bug face in the map pattern... and it's purple... (duh)!
Enjoy :)
