Map bounds: 144x134 Map Overview: Introduction:
It's been a while since I haven't made a map, since Althea, in which there was I find a concept flaw in it. So for the pass couple of month, I was trying to make a map with a good concept. It took a while and while I was searching for a good layout I stumble upon a BW map called Eros Route. Easily we can see that porting it 1:1 would play terrible in sc2, so I decided to try to take the key concept of the map that could be taken and use it. In the first version of the map it resemble a lot the BW version, but it changed a lot since now. Why did I like this concept? Well I really liked how the pathing of the map played out, going to the nat was in a ''S'' form and how if you want to go the fastest way possible you had to take a choky path and you could get easily ambush. If you wanted to be more safe you had to go on the high ground, but you had a longer way to reach the opponent. This was really the key concept I liked about this BW map. Sadly, with comment and play testing I had to make the 2 high ground connect.

-Making it official public on TL. v1.0
-Changed lighting to Bel'shir, I had many people complaining about Igrok lighting of Poizone.
-Reduced the LoSB number and nah acts more like aesthetic vegetation.
-Removed the Highest High ground on the ovi spot where you can FFE. Also changed a bit the doodad near it.
-The high ground hook on top of the open space of the nat is reduced. (Changed suggested by a176)
I hope you go play the map and like it. Please share any worries about possible Imbalance. 1.1
- Added path restriction on reaper path where there was some imbalance because Terran could drop tank on the high ground that way sieging a part of the main.
- Added the TPW tag. 1.3
- Changed the Natural layout, choke is 3 3x3 building
- Main was slightly reshape
- Layout was slightly changed
- Map completely re-textured and dooaded by Mereel (some small change of my part)
Hello Mapster, I'm a member of the map making team TPW (Icetoad, on this site my account is GoldGod). I am thinking of using eggs that worked like in BW, but the problem is that worker can not cut throw it. I am able to make eggs that can be destroy, but this is only a part of what I want. Being a melee map maker makes me kinda bad at data and trigger.
My request:
-Make neutral zerg egg to act like in BW. So worker can pass throw it, but not other unit.
-No use of Trigger, so only data and nothing that can change unit status in term of gameplay.
-No use of Campaign dependencies
This would help me a lot and I thank you already in advance if any of you could make it work for me.

Publish on NA and soon EU. Introduction:
The map idea didn't came from any real inspiration, other then maybe my previous map LoS_Artemis having a close third on high ground near 3 ramps (I think I will name this feature the Icetoad Zone). There is 2 third that you can decided to expo, one closer to the natural(the high ground one), but harder to protect and another one a bit farther and open, but farther from the enemy. Controlling the 2 xel'naga's towers are very important and you can also drop unit on the high ground near the tower abuse it like on XNC. I wanted to create a macro map with a lot of attack path, and I think I was able to make it :). Since the Tyrador Tileset has never used by blizz and didn't have any doodad for it. I decided to create a map theme where one part is in shamble and the other part a city that is wealthy.

Hey guys,
Finally a new map from LoS. :P
Intro
This map was created from an idea that I was making for a 2 player map, but there was some problem with it, so I decided to copy paste a part of the map and make it a 4 player map. Theme
The theme of this map is a Greek style, I had visited 1 year ago Greece and I really liked the country and all (food). What really marked me was the landscape and the ruins of the ancient Greece. The landscape was a wasteland in term of starcraft and I taught that I could really well make it look like it. I added a bit of special touch in some part of the map. Textured used:
Tarsonis Cracks
Tarsonis Dirt
Haven Grass Rocky
Tarsonis Grass
Aiur Small Bricks
Aiur Large Bricks
Meinhoff Sand Dunes
Valhalla Rock Overview Main Natural Third Forth Middle \\

LoS is right now working on a logo, banner and website. This map will be submitted to MoTM#8 and I hope this time LoS can make a big opening, probably not like TPW, but still.[code]

Sounds really complicated xD. I should try to learn more how the data and trigger works, even if melee map making takes a lot of my free time.

Thank you very much for the comment. The map is now a Top 5 finalist for MoTM#8 (Map of the Month). The middle should maybe get a new middle type.
