I think these maps are really cool, never saw that style before, I don't think it offers more variables as much as it offers DIFFERENT variables.

Hiding on the bottom at first glance seems like suicide lol, though does open up some potentially awesome water homing missiles.

It's nice to have a larger pool of variety to choose from that doesn't rely on custom terrains.

Just shave little bit off top so top can be filled with objects also and these maps are very versatile compared to your standard elite map.

A good elite map has lots of options for darksiding also, if a map is too simple, starting player has too big of an advantage. Assuming the player is good.

I use the cave map template from bottom left and then invert it by the invert tool. Takes some eye and skill to learn which kind of maps will work well as inverted. Then just shave little bit off top so long objects fit on top aswell, randomize until looks balanced and your done.

A trully warrior does not choose where to fight, u never did fight in a bar? or did you call the opponent to a ring with time and date agreed? lol

LOOOL @ this zillian meme
