Well, this is a map I made because I wanted to enter into the TL Custom Map Contest. Any suggestions on improving this map are welcomed and if you spot a big flaw, please let me know. When it's balanced, I'll pretty it up a bit/ add doodads and submit it.

It's a pretty map, which pisses me off because I am trying to make a twighlight map and I suck at decorating.

At first look, the second gas nat is much farther away from the main for the top base.

Feels like reds main is bigger, and as a result, blues bottom expos are slightly farther apart, while the expos above blues main are slightly closer than those of reds.

Ok, fixed the size of Red's base and moved mineral lines a bit so they're more symmetrical.

Any more suggestions are welcomed.

Do you think that you should be able to wall your 3rd base so much? This maps to lend itself to the type of play where aggression would not pay off. In PvZ you would have a P massively Cannoning that and macroing.

Basically I think with that walloff area you would create boring games.

The mains are quite slim. I fear that it is very hard to outlay your base in a way that doesn't allow siege tanks to hit it from beneath the plateau. This shouldn't be possible.

EDIT: I realize that it is water that is placed around the mains. This might be enough to prevent the siege danger.

Seems like a macromap. A little boring maybe, but it's ok to me

with the gas like that @ bottom natural all units will get stuck. try to make the area around that expansion larger, only a nexus will make units stall there

I'll fix the gas after I get home. I'm going to a family B.B.Q. for father's day.

Doh, I would've liked to make a more micro oriented map, but all my maps turn out the way they do. I'll try harder next time.

The second gas nat is still much farther away from the top main. In case you aren't sure what I am talking about, they're the expos at the ends of the center mud.

I'm sorry if I'm hijacking the thread, but what is a macromap?

You're map looks nice btw, I can't think of any additional changes you can make. I think I'll try it out tonight.

I think it's a map where it's more focused on getting expansions and the one with the better economy usually wins, whereas a micro map is where it it focused on microing and less on your economy, ala BoxeR.

Some good changes were made. I don't see any glaring errors at a glance.
