[edit] Overview
Amnesia is a two player map with many different paths that allow for very flexible movement. It was first used in the ESL Opencup in 2010.
[edit] Map Description
Amnesia is map that consists of a set of chokes and open areas with a lot of different pathes and routes. This is a map where you can and have to use the terrain to your advantage.
The map allows you to be aggressive early on, but at the same time suggests a macro heavy game.
The Aestetic focus lies on textures. Since it is a desert on Mar Sara, where energy of the protoss assault still radiates from the ground, there is not much vegetation around.
[edit] Notable Features
- Optional third - Close base wich is harassable from a well travelled high ground.
- Watchtowers - Grant vision over the three ramps closest to them.
- Flexible pathing - The many ramps and paths connecting the center make for very diverse movement.
- High ground - Control of the high ground path grants easy control of the first four bases.
