Widen the area behind the minerals in the main and natural or else it'll be like the original Blue Storm.
Is it possible to Forge FE with that wide of a natural?

this map is really cool. here are some comments:

along with post above: maybe the chrysalis would be better off on the nat side of the bridge? that way forge fe may be easier

it also looks kind of like pvt hell. if terran sieges around the middle it looks like they can hit a lot of shit. maybe semi wall at one of the mid locations? seems to easily secure 3rd and maybe even 4th.

In addition to the comments above, there's a lot of minerals inside your main/natural/mineral only. Like a lot. By the way... The ridge above 1/7 expos... What's the point?

But carriers will be so strong on this map to mitigate the fairly narrow chokes.

Changed the mineral layout a bit for turret/cannon placement

About the chrysalis, not sure how it'll work out but since I've shifted the gateway/forge placement, forge FE should be much easier (although if the Zerg destroys the two chrysalis there might be some trouble)

mmm seems like once you secure middle, in like a ZvP, you can pick up 6 bases?

rush distance is pretty far as well, is it zerg favored by any chance? i'd think its both ZvT and ZvP favored. all the easy gas bases for zerg while defending one path.

it seems like a contain would be really strong. If they go early agression they can contain you pretty easily, behind the two chrysalis , along have an entrance through the temples, and prevent you from getting the third gas, which i think the distance is a little bit too far away.

Lol how are you gonna break a contain outside your natural? they can place i.e. tanks on the cliff expo and just contain the whole small choke there.

It'd be hard to set up a contain without a proxy considering the ridiculous ground distance between bases.

adding a back door might make it interesting... that way you can break out from behind if you are contained

This looks extremely terran biased to me.

Besides the fact you don't have to worry about proxying, everything is incredibly narrow, not much room to flank, and lots of terrain in the way of things which benefits things like siege tanks (aka cover for them). Siege tanks would dominate this map I think...

this looks like medusa... With alot of walls o.O

I feel like Terran will have a very very hard time on this map

edit: nm read some stuff wrong

Because of narrow passages, why not make minerals closer to walls so Zerg can have a better time with 2hatch muta usage?

Both then main and the natural are tank-able from beyond the wall. Plus three expos can be defended by through 1 choke. I think terran would do just fine.

This was the thing I noticed immediately. It looks incredibly easy for Terran to take expos, and Protoss doesn't have a whole lot of room for army management or flanking. It looks like it would show for some great games in other matchups though...

Seems like this would be terran awesomeness. He can get 4 bases off one choke (albeit he can't turret it too well. And if he secures those 4 the next two can easily also be held by 1 choke. (A few supplies to wall, and takes lined up with the cliff protecting the 12(centerish) expo

Then in Tvz, 1 set of turrets can cover the nat and half the main's minerals. And if nat/main is tankable that's even more in favor of terran.

And that middle ground looks kinda small, so impossible to flank, and looks really hard to counter.

On the other hand, it looks really cool and I'd play some games on it with anybody if they want.
