#map analysis

[mamasplat]

Looking back at my older bba post I would like to update my read of the map with full accuracy and deductive reasoning that you can ask for if you doubt me

[sketchyhere]

Just played the reworked Roblox HQ and I genuinely prefer old HQ. My thoughts (very serious serious analysis)—

TLDR: This map is very pretty but way too big. We gotta cut ts by at least a quarter to make it better for melees or decrease the amount of props to make it better for range.

Preface: I’m a flex player (lvl600+) and opens warrior so I’m not speaking on a scrim/pro experience but rather the average player.

PROS:

Very beautiful map design! The interior are gorgeous, and each level seems to created meticulously!

Lots of good hiding spaces/entry for dive, you can go below, or find a nice pocket underneath the stairs.

Intentional structure placement to hide behind at the bottom level. Especially good for melees.

Good objects for looping (mostly for supports). The structures help block enemies from getting to you.

The open top level is wonderful for phighting, good view and sight view between enemies.

That’s it. Now, onto the—

CONS:

Lots of hiding spots for dive, this map is a dive’s daydream if the team isn’t grouped up/aware.

Range-sided when you bunker the team fight in the open.

Dive-sided when you bunker the team fight inside the HQ

Melee left to rot once again. Map in general sucks to tank at as mobility is very much so needed because of how spacious it.

Decreased sight lines as a result of props, harder to aim at when you’re not at the open areas. If you're phighting in the HQ buildings, this will gut hyperlaser. Not that it's bad though, fuck that guy.

Confusing spawns. Once again, the spacious map layout doesn't really do it any favours. This is not helped by the fact that spawns are not on the same level, I often see players wondering about as they have no idea where to group up. Not really intuitive.

Trampoline. Absolutely needed cause map is big but annoying as shit. Would be better if there were structures that allowed you climb to the second level.

MAIN ISSUE:

As the map is still very new some of these cons/pros will be resolved, gotten rid of, etc. For now though here this is main issue I can see occurring from HQ:

Passive play style: Bunkering down at spawn on old HQ wasn’t a massive issue as brawl (most melees) would teach you why that’s a bad idea fast.

New HQ makes bunkering at spawn viable. The many vantage points to poke out, escape, and such makes it so the enemies play at a disadvantageous position if they attempt to push in. This also makes playing on this map an absolute slog feast. You’re either defending or attacking but either way you're being extremely cautious about your movement.

CONCLUSION:

I dislike the varied spawns and how extremely open but crowded the map is. Anni maps in general are at a weird state where they either suck balls or is mediocre—what can be agreed upon is that conquer is better. Some anni fan favourites is chaos canyon/train demolition and I think what these maps do well is how constrained they are. Or if they're open, the wide sight lines for range (domino valley, sfoth).

What needs to be done is for the spawns to be centered on one level only which helps for clarity/grouping up (bottom, middle, top; whichever). Decreasing the map size (specifically the inside the HQs) to make it easier to play on tanks/melees, or if not that then decrease the amount of props to increase sightlines for range.

As much as I bitch about how many range-sided maps there are, on anni it kind of makes sense? You have to put some incentive for players to push out so you don't get sniped which forces players to play aggressive. There isn't that incentive on reworked HQ promoting a passive playstyle.

Anyway, that's my brain blender and long ass analysis on reworked Roblox HQ.

Watched both these Paldea map analysis videos yesterday - which were both based off the high-res Paldea map released to the press a few months ago - and found them very intriguing. Figured I'd share them for anyone currently playing the game, or who like me haven't started playing yet.

Lots of good meteorology on the surface map and satellite imagery today.  First, a look at the surface isobar and fronts analysis from the Weather Prediction Center.  (Map valid 4 p.m. Eastern Time, Wednesday 27 November.)

A large, occluded cyclone is centered over the Great Lakes, with warm and cold fronts extending in the customary directions.  The strong cold front is located in a pressure trough, as it is a discontinuity between two air masses. Thanks to the intensity of the front, the isobars “bend back” in a very noticeable anticyclonic direction over WV/KY/TN.  (This curvature is always there -- and so when we contour our own maps we are required to include it -- but it is especially pronounced with this storm.)

And now, look at how that anticyclonic area, immediately after the cold front passage, but a few hundred miles away from the surface low center, matches up with features of the the visible satellite image.

In the area of anticyclonic curvature of the isobars, no clouds!  You are in between the altostratus clouds produced by the upper low (across OH/IN/IL) and the clouds forced by the surface cold front (in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, southward to GA and FL).  This is a well-known region of descending air and lack of cloud cover and they match up great this week.

What I Learned from U.S. Socioeconomic Data Maps

I evaluated data maps of the U.S. by county and state. Crime maps. Wealth maps. RPP maps. Cost of living maps. Ecopolitical maps. Voting records by county maps. Female reproductive rights and cannibus decriminalization maps. Income equality maps. Here is what I found:

"Higher incidents of rape" =~ "greater spending power"

"Environmental destruction" =~ "greater spending power"

"Substandard public health" =~ "greater spending power"

"Prevalence of organized religion" =~ "greater spending power"

"Republican voting" =~ "greater spending power"

"Limited access to abortion" =~ "greater spending power"

"Chauvanism" =~ "greater spending power"

"Anachronistic troglodytism" =~ "greater spending power"

"Intellectual humanitarians" =~ "high cost of living"

"Intellectual humanitarians" =~ "fewer jobs, more people"

Intellectual humanitarians live in coastal states and cities. But not all coastal states and cities are humanitarians.

Idaho (a.k.a. humanity’s seething underbelly) and New Hampshire (America’s fat hairy frat bro wearing flipflops and cargo shorts: among highest incomes with the most McDonalds and Walmarts of any state) are tied for the worst state.

But they’re given a run for their money by: Texas (America’s supervillain: evil in almost every way and proud of it), Pennsylvania (America’s mousey farmwife who secretly supports WBB: never met a corporate exploitation of the poor it didn’t like), Michigan (America’s deranged hobo: fracking, lead-lined pipes, broken infrastructure, absurd levels of crime), Ohio (America’s Best Buy supervisor: quietly and modestly among the most corporate deregulatory, tastelessly commercial states), Louisiana (America’s poolshark cousin: among highest rape, alcoholism, homicide, underage pregnancies, poverty and reports of incest), Mississippi (Poolshark cousin’s tweaky little brother with a speech impediment: does what Louisiana does but with less charisma), Colorado (America’s chainsmoking daytime television watcher: home of strip malls and mediocrity) and Virginia (America’s self-righteous PTA-active office administrator with a power cut: home of corporate authoritarian centrism).

The best states for low-income liberal women? Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Maine, Minnesota.

Among the best and the worst simultaneously? California, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming. The latter two being fine if you’re white and preferably male. Alaska being fine if you’re male and own a gun. California being best if you’re very rich and like bloodthirsty competition or have absolutely literally nothing and no hope of ever getting more - or if you have enough connections to shield you from the state’s political and economic trials by fire.

FIRST INTENTIONS:

During the trip I was particularly interested in the different food sources that nature provides. During our journey the ranger did cook for us and we had some snacks from the 7 eleven, but for me it was interesting too comprehend and search for edible plants in order to know what we could or couldn’t eat in a case of real survival situation. 

The zoom-in map illustrate all the different edible plants we have encounter during our journey ( the path covered being shown in yellow). It shows also all the different elevation. The forest type changes according to these elevations
