Profile of Rosbone

I think he means why are the 1-20 ranks even a thing if they don't do anything.

And do not forget this fun non-linear stuff?


Playing 4v4 premade team your either a Level 7 or a 16 because it switches at rank 200

I just came across this post: Angermunde south spawn issue

Hopefully it was fixed from your 1st post about moving the base positions around.

Deep snow on the RHS sectors? (Needs to go, IMO)

I stand corrected. There were two small sections on the right side that appeared to be deep snow.

In the worldbuilder any snow greater than a depth of .25 is shown as DEEP SNOW and appears RED. So .251 will draw as red in the worldbuilder. Snow less than .251 will be drawn as yellow(Left side of picture).

However in the game .250 is indicated as deep snow with the snowflake mouse cursor. This map had several areas at exactly .250. Only two were in normal playing areas and they were small.

Using the TERRAIN COVER overlay (right side of picture) you can see the deep snow areas (RED Checker areas).

To show why I made the north points closer and to get a conversation going on what makes a good 1v1 map.

Distances across the front lines for Semoskiy and Crossroads:


Distances from corner important points to corner important points:
Semoskiy: 318 meters
Crossroads: 245 meters

How many matches have you seen on crossroads where no one caps the muni in the corner because it is too far out of the way. And it is only 245m corner to corner. But on Semoskiy you have to cap that point at 318m.

Set red atm.
For some reason:
1. This map will not exist anymore in 1vs1.

I was operating under this ORG post #12 saying the 1v1 version will still be in automatch.

--> In your version you changed the left vp. But with that you will change the south to left vp pathtime as well. for example.

Yes the 1st version I made it was exact from either direction.

You can win from north side in 2vs2. Nobody says this map is the best 2vs2 map. But it was way worser in the past.

I only looked at the 1v1 map, since that is most critical. I think everyone is tired of watching tournaments play match 1+2 on Crossroads then game 3 on a few others.

3. I disagree with some points in your reworked version.

Good! I spent about 45 minutes fixing it, then another hour adjusting stupid stuff. I am sure I did not get it perfect in 45 minutes And we need some debate to get to the best possible version that is the whole point of these threads!

I would go with other direction Rosbone. Not to reduce the distance for north player but expand the distance for a south player. Therefore top left corner won't be empty and useless.

Remember that this map is 2v2 as well. There is way more units there so the bigger the map the smaller slaughter house it will be later game.

I went smaller because I was thinking more competitive 1v1 map. This map is way too big for 1v1 especially with cutoffs tucked into the far recesses of the abyss!

The way the points are laid out, I see north pushing left. Not getting their fuel for some reason (sturms, rng, etc) By now the south will have their fuel and have it covered by a building. The game is over.

The south building you can pop in and get vision then pop out and take the fuel. The north you can not. Again the most important 1st engagement on the map. The fuel buildings have to go.

I never play 1v1 for these reasons. The maps are usually very bad. To the point of not being fun. As I have said numerous times, the middle 100 meters is all you need to make a great 4v4 map. A 1v1 map needs to be good everywhere.
