If it's for TL Arena, you might want to make a second version where it's a bit biased for one player. Then you can use UMS to force certain spawning points for specific people.

ok so just having the look at the map here are the changes I think should be done (two options)

Black line: remove ramp, aka. highground only
Grey circle: Make terrain unsiegable
White circle with black line: move position of base

since this is a mirror map I just changed one side of the map

Option 1:

Option 2:

I feel this should balance out ZvT since zerg now has a EASIER 3rd gas but still have two (rather large) chokes to defend, and with option 1 you can siege tanks and make it even harder (but still not impossible) to defend.

Nice map!

The lack of open area makes it hard for zerg to go hydra lurk in ZvP. Storm just rapes in all those small chokes.

I like Julmust's suggestions. I also think that the natural expo choke is a bit wide and not desirable for any Protoss matchups.

3 barracks to wall? Sounds like a wide choke to me!

Julmust Bo7 let's go

edit: we can't play this map. We can both play vs cpu fine but when we join it together we both drop. Tried with a 3rd person too and same problem. Get it fixed newbie

You should narrow out the choke to the natural with a destructible building of some kind. Otherwise it looks pretty stellar.
When you are prepared, there's no such thing as pressure.

Nice going! As so many have been saying, few tweaks and then it'll be good enough for an OSL! :D

Looking into some of the suggestions at the moment.

Hmm... I'm not sure why that is :S

I'll take a look.

EDIT: When I open it up with the regular SC editor it says I have one misplaced unit, so I might have accidentally added something that bugged it like that.

I'll be reuploading it shortly.

looks like a perfect map for an 8rax into vult build

long distance from main to nat and not so easy to defend natural choke

Update:

Efreet 1.1
[image loading]


Changes:
- Purple circle: 2 power generators(destructible) added to help narrow the naturals choke(also extended the cliff a bit that makes up the other side of the naturals choke
- Blue circle: Narrowed the terrain some more here for help defending your 3rd gas
- Green circle: 3 Temples(destructible) added to narrow the large ramp. Helps defend the 3rd more easily as well.
- Yellow circle: Edited terrain where Julmust suggested.
- White & red circle: Expo at white circle was moved to where the red one is.
- Black circle: Shortened the ramp here like Julmust suggested.

Of course I changed the same things for the other side, it would just be pointless to point everything out twice.

i like most of the changes, will have to see how the new chokes to the third gas work out. distances to make a tank line work are much shorter, making PvT a lot more balanced.

just played the map with pholon, its hard as fuck to play but I enjoyed the hell out of it! (maybe because I won a 35 minute slugfest :D )

anyway this does feel pretty balanced ZvT, zerg has some hard choises to make but that's the challange!

edit:
really like the idea with the temples btw! that could be a big fight. zerg wants to keep them alive for the narrow choke and if terran gets it he's in a world of pain!

overall: loved it!

Awesome, thanks for trying it out guys

I've only played against computers so far. I'd love to try it out with others sometime today if anyone is willing

Hmm looks like it'd be quite favorable for terrans.

Seems pretty good except that there is only one ground route between the two mains, which can easily be covered by a few tanks at the cliffs, making it hard for TvZ and TvP.

Also, if you want to tighten the natural's choke with the Power Generators, you should try out all the different walls (depot walls, rax walls, forge/gate walls) because sometimes, lings can pass through the gap between a building and the power generator (iirc, rax on the left and generator on the right isn't ling-proof). To fix that, you have to use unpassable doodads that will fill the gap. (Look at Katrina for one example)

Edit: Also, might wanna make the nat's cliff un-siegeable. Terrans already have it good here :p

it's a 2 player map?
-____- eh. the tileset kinda turns me off

but the map looks balanced O__O
however since the distances between the mains are so long I think most games on this map are going to turn into a 3-4 base 200/200 dukefest
