I published Fluxion with different teams being randomized. But the design for it its well a little hard to explain but the idea is that.
The middle 2 players are in a team. And their team mates are the opposing 2 corners, not the 2 corners close to them but the other 2. And they are then facing the otehr 2 mid players and the 2 corners next to them. (The map is released with different team as well such west vs east and top vs bottom).
The map is on a planet with extremely strong changes in its environment with a very eruptive planet crust and far away from its sun creating both snow and lava content on the map.
Two players start in the corner of the map have a pretty standard gameplay with close natural expansion and one more close third expansion location.
However, one of their enemies start very close to them and there are several attack paths so its not very easy to defend.
On of the middle players start here. Ands its clear that these to side players will likely come in conflict when trying to take their third expansions.
Also both natural expansion as mentioned are pretty open with more then 1 attack path into it.
Furthermore, this player's natural expansion has a bridge behind it, locked with rocks at the start but can be opened for attack/assisting the player depending on what teams the game is.
The other player start location aren't exactly in the corner. As seen in the map image its more towards the middle, its the same for the closest player to it.
So it features more of a backdoor expansion.
It also has rich vespene gas on its expansion, its important for this player to quickly expand to help the team.
The last player location has instead some gold mineral patches.
There is a pathway in between these to players which is very close but its blocked of by rocks. The are also 2 entrance to the expansion for this player and several attack paths around the base.
In the middle of the map there is a giant snow mountain which has created a river close to it which splits the map.
There is a gold expansion with no gas at this river. This expansion is located towards the middle bridge of the map that connects the 2 battlefields and is extremely hard to defend.
This bridge is the first path for the players to cross over the 2 battle fields, in total there are 3 bridges if the players destroy to rocks mentioned. The middle bridge is a wide bride and has 2 big path ways.
