A fully symmetrical white fire would be good, then you could play with the other cross spawns as well. Atm the wrecks are too different in their placement.

it was. The map was originally uploaded when downlord was still working on the map uploading, and it was still broken. It's dumb to accuse people like you do

Was busy with my own map for some time so i adressed this only now. Fixed the missing mex on Pelagial, also fixed cancer mex and passable mountains on Souvenir (near bottom right and top left spots).

BUT!!!

I couldnt upload new versions as i am not the original uploader of the maps

Do we really need this feature? I do get the attempt to prevent random people from fucking with someone's maps, but... nothing will prevent them from copying a map, fucking with it and then changing name to upload it And i remember before when we had bugged Dusty Mounds map in ladder that wouldnt start, i think biass fixed it and uploaded with different name (cause originall creator was out of reach / didnt give any shits). Very stupid feature imo

There was quite popular complaint about Z-D Rasty map that it has too much mass, so i went ahead and reduced total number of mexes (and hydros) by... a bunch Didnt touch the reclaim tho, dont think its that big of an issue. There are still classis maps like Syrtis with big reclaim numbers and they are not considered OP or something. Also added new terrain in between the mountains where there previously was large open space and recuded number of players to 4.

New map is called Z-D Rasty Lite

I think the "too many mexes" arguments are a little bit misguided. There is some fun to the maps with more mexes that demand a different style of gameplay! I really enjoyed the original version of this map, even though it is new to me and I have trouble with it.

Why does everyone always say "too many mexes"? I'd be delighted if such maps were properly available in the ladder. Ok, not too many of them but it makes for nice "do everything at the same time" gameplay.

(Don't you dare touch my Point of Reach map! )

I'm very annoyed by High Noon btw. It makes for rather slow gameplay. There are enough mexes but they're all so incredibly far away from each other. Of course you have to have raiding abilities so the outlying mexes are all in a good spot.

But they're also in a bad spot. Early on it's easy to lose because of a successful raid and later on it's mostly standoff gameplay.

To add to it, I see no other meta at the start than "send your ACU over asap". When that part has played its role the game is either over or it's back to standoffs. Either in air where you just stockpile interceptors and build two flak to protect yourself or on navy where it's destroyers looking at each other (if you get there instead of being stuck at submarine spam). You can try some push with some expensive thing but you're always at the edge of your economy, so stockpiling while slowly upgrading things seems to be the way to go.

I've added a replay. Yes, there is some raiding, some air drops and some fun with bombers, but I think something is going wrong if all I can do is win by building cruisers and even then it takes so long the opponent calls it quits to save time (normally only I do that when I'm in a bad mood - which is often if I'm losing).

So first things first: I think it's a good idea to at least put the starting mexes closer together. So that a factory can be locked in between two of them. Makes for an easier build, easier T2 upgrade (helpful against aeon and sera T1 spam, which is quite strong there). I think it also helps if we put the hydro at the starting location. Engineers can get there sooner and move on to something else sooner. Just jumpstart your start.

Or is this going to promote first bomber and ruin things that way?

It's one of those maps where sniping transports and far-expanding engies was the whole game, really; large-scale micro could cripple an opponent in minutes once the early stuff is done much like how in Point of Reach if you take down a transport full of engies from min 3-4 you are looking at a likely loss!
