Mech is strong
Protoss can FE but it's risky
Zerg overall quite strong

There is no way to block the ramp and the choke at the natural is quite wide so 9 pool with gas versus everything should be pretty damn strong, especially if you and your opponent spawn on the same side (east or west)

Reminds me of Gaia. ZvT and PvT seem impossible if you spawn vertical.

for some reason i really like the way that this maps looks. It looks like a lot of fun to play. Personally i love the tree mechanic and the vision mechanic that this map seems to offer. And because i player zerg, the apparent zerg > all trend is fine with me ^^

Looks like the only issue is the wide ramps? I admit that as a Z, I had a much easier time because of the ramp.

Have you thought of getting a lower layer of terrain so you could put a ramp out of the nat as well?

As for the watchtowers, they don't really offer that much of vision, perhaps include triggers to make them work in UMS?

That's why I tried making the map using other tilesets (twilight and jungle) but it was rather impossible to make the reverse ramps, as well as a few other issues.

Yeah I'm considering implementing that feature, making this a UMS-map (if you want the watchtower feature)

Not being able to add a second ramp is a bummer, but that's because of how SC2 has advanced I guess. Since it's not possible to make a full conversion in melee, UMS is something that should be considered IMO Entirely up to you tho.

Either that or make the choke at the natural smaller

Hmm the trigger seems a bit hard

Players:
All Players

Conditions:
Current Player brings at least 1 [any unit] to 'Location 0'.

Actions:
Give All Map Revealer owned by Neutral at 'Location 1' to Current Player.
Preserve trigger.

And the reverse for removing vision

But doesn't seem to work =/

That map looks horribly unbalanced. Easy 3rd expo for Terran, difficult micro for Zerg due to obstacles in middle

OK, but it's really rough and possibly can be improved. It requires you to draw some additional zones around the watchtower that box. All trigers are for all players.

Conditions:
Always

Actions:
Set "Switch 1"
---
Conditions:
Current player brings at least 1 [Any unit] to Location 1.
Current player commands the most [Any unit] at Location 1.
"Switch 1" is set.

Actions:
Give all Map Revealer owned by Neutral at Location 255 to Current Player.
Clear "Switch 1"
Set "Switch 2"
Preserve trigger.
---
Conditions:
Current player brings at least 1 [Any unit] to Location 2. {ie, right outside the watchtower thingy}
"Switch 2" is set.

Actions:
Give all Map Revealer owned by Current Player at Location 255 to Neutral.
Clear "Switch 2"
Set "Switch 1"
Preserve trigger.

Should allow for players to "steal" control from their opponent if they bring more units as well - not sure if that's how the watchtowers work in SC2 tho. You may also need multiple copies of some of the triggers.

Edit: Oops, sorry.
Edit edit: I am an idiot. Should work now.
