No good reason. Sandcastles is also a terrible porc map.

I dont see how anyone really considers porcing fun when everyone does it. Nothing happens for the first 5-10 minutes except everyone builds defenses, no one raids, no one attacks. Its the main problem I have with these types of FFA maps. Even worse is when it boils down to a 50+ shield lag fest when even starlights fail to break porc and you're stuck with nuking -- which also fails because enemy teams have 20 protectors in their base. Sigh.

It might be interesting if only 4 mexes were inside the base with only 1 metal per second income rate and a lot of outside mexes. Force people to fight over the mexes so things become interesting.

Irish: Having your own base that you defend is the point of these FFA maps. If you want ones where people actually attack early on, there are other maps for that (like Hotstepper or Mearth 4).

A few years back when I was just getting into Spring, I saw a lot of FFA BA played on Mearth. Fun games.

Why no ZK on Mearth?

I don't see any problem with maps that include porcy start-areas as long as they give you plenty of incentive to move beyond the walls.

This one has an obscene amount of metal in the middle, so it's got that covered. The guy who hides in his base won't win this.

The metal level is too high, and the layout is too simplistic (4 fortresses and a kill-the-middle) but it could be workable with the right metal-adjustments.

only issue i have with these types of maps is their REALLY boring to watch because the first 20 minutes or so is basicly build porc and build eco. People are discouraged from attacking because of this porc metagame. Then you have your start area that has enough metal (16 spots ~+22.0 - 32.0 without overdrive) to build porc and eco easily in the comfort of your own little corner. When it comes down to it, most people i've watched on sand castles dont even take the middle or any mexes outside of their 'base' -- not until near the end do they finally decide to expand. What makes this any different?

Thus its still my oppinion that the incentive to move outside your base is too low. If the map had less start metal and maybe a bit less metal over all except toward the middle, the incecntive to expand would be greater thus giving some conflict to an otherwise 20 minutes of watching turrets/eco build.
