Holodeck

Description
Located in small room aboard every Human ship, allowing for continuous coding updates, lies their VR Training center commonly known as the Holodeck.

Operated and controlled by MUM, here the human drone architecture can simulate and adapt to any conditions in battle. This technonology is still new to the humans and currently in development. It is not prefected. However, it is operational and allows them search for weaknesses in the Goo other known races alike.

Subscribe to enter the Holodeck now. You're simulation will be complete once you have thumbs upped this map for a rating. ;)

Features:
- 1v1 mirrored map.
- Large connected riverbeds. Will you go for multiple +8 extractors where it is safe? Or will you try to sift catalyst from the enemy's pool?
- 2 +13 locations in the middle. However yu will have to unplug them to gain access to it.
- Small map. Choose your build order accordingly.

Hope you all enjoy.

Cheers.

Nice approach to the lore, too!

Hi Dot,

Thanks for feedback. I will go through and fix any bugs or things that don't work as they should today. As far as being too Goo favored, I can easily remove some spigots here & there to balance that out.

Just a heads up to everybody in how I like for map making to work...

I try my best to come up with creative themes (or at least I like different themes.) and make maps that look good. As far as fine tuning balance goes, it's helpful when I can get the top pro's opinion on balance. From there I fine tune. Once that's completed the goal is to have a fun, interesting, good looking map that plays fair to all sides. I make several revisions to my maps in order to always improve them to what the community wants.

Dot, lets test this one out further on your stream hopefully this next week.

Thanks, Suds

Well, what can I say... I got into the game and Im kind of speechless. I dont know what to say about this map cuz its so different.

I really like how it looks, really cool! Now for balance... I can't say much, I think its fine... Its weird to have refs in front but should work. I cant spot any weird imbalances straight away for any race. The massive amounts of +8 you can get on this map might cause some issues though, but I really dont know as Ive never experienced it yet.

And btw, I did not know that you could make spigots start with 0 resources. Is it possible to make them grow later on as well? ... cuz this could be an interesting element in some maps. Close to HQ spigots that need to grow first. However, this one seems unintended... the lower right spigot is empty and the one in topleft is not.
