Under Siege Advanced

Under Siege

Under Siege is a map focusing a lot on grabbing the middle ground. The design is very symmetrical and very artful but it then has no mysterious feel in it like other maps do. This map is highly functional and very good if played with 4v4. But then you will have to lock in their positions. I've tried this map but you are made in a random location so you are in hostile lands. This map is pretty good for 4v4 but not free for all.

It seems to me, whoever captures the center is the probable victor of the game. But as the title describes, it can be bombarded by siege tanks on the outer rim of the base. The top left and bottom right are also very good expansions.

Basically here, the island maps are practically useless unless you have no other expansion to go to. There are too little resources on the islands.

For all (or some) players there are uplifted land right above their mineral line. That place is where siege tanks can really come in handy. Dropping tanks there will cause a havoc for the opponent or it can reek havoc upon you.

I would enjoy it more if it had smaller expansions and more natural expansions because if the person grabs the middle grounds. It probably will be over. The person who grabs the middle grounds will most likely win.

Additional info: putting cannons on the ledges or the outer rim of the middle will protect one a lot. Air mostly because there is water. You can protect your air by flying them over the water if ground attacks them.

Good units for this game: Reavers, tanks, carriers, battlecruisers, guardians, drop ships, vultures, defilers, lurkers

Bad units for this game: zealots, zerglings, ultralisks, firebats

And that's what I experienced from this map. I played it a few times and I liked it. I hope you guys like it too.
