Any good Terran who can micro his Reaper will kill at the very least 3-5 probes before you get your Stalker out even if you move them around, not to mention taking your probes off mining can really set you back anyway. Yeah it's not like an insta win button or something if you're good, like you said, you can move some workers around and deal with it for the most part despite having some losses of workers, I just think Reapers should require an engineering bay or factory to make and they should be buffed to balance this change and make them more viable in the late game (maybe give them a spider mine upgrade or something?)

So, is there a confirmation as to whether this thing is a glitch or not?thedrizzle34 said:

alright after redoing the map i have a basic design again. I AGAIN still have to put in minerals, geysers, xelnaga towers and reaper cliffs but now i have a better terrain design.
There's a cliff surrounding the entire map that one unit can traverse at a time which will be interesting to say the least, because I plan on having both ramps and reaper-jumpable cliffs at many points on the map so there will be any amount of units on top of these cliffs at times.
The way I handled equality in the starting point build area so far is that each of the top and bottom areas have a total of 110 usable map grid squares. The middle ones as a tiny buff have 112 squares (as if that makes a difference).
The other major terrain difference that attempts to equalize the middle points is that they have 3 grid squares of cliffs separating both from each other and from the top and bottom points. This probably seems like it doesnt make a difference and maybe it doesnt, but I imagine it will protect them somewhat if used as a FFA. It will certainly protect them from anybody right next to them in the middle like for example siege tanks with sight.
My future plans to equalize the differences between starting points are that the middle points will be able to fight over their own xelnaga watch tower, they will have less reaper/colossi entry points plus they will be better positioned as opposed to the corners for example which will have an entry point right next to their main minerals and I may even put up a (partly?) impenetrable wall between each other (middle next to middle) although this would make for quite the turtle vs. turtle map for 7v7. Plus i may give them more resources.
Finally in terms of resources advantage i may make the second mineral area for each corner be in the alleyway between them and the middle points which will give them a much harder to defend second expansion to make up for their extremely optimal map placement in addition to the aforementioned not optimal reaper entry points and (possible) ramp with destructible rocks right next to their starting minerals.
Here's the terrain thus far:

You have to spoiler tag the NFL draft info MAN! I am watching it on Tivo and I am only on pick six Seattle....
Just kidding. I recorded it because I had a feeling they were going to trade back to the 2nd round and therefore they were doing shit tonight.
I guess they traded back to the 2nd.. late 1st?? Maybe.
