Also, I don't know whether to narrow the ramp by the natural or the 3rd (I don't want to do both, as I'd like to keep more than one viable attack path open).


I feel like that goes against the original design of the map. The idea is that the really short paths are awkward to get large armies through, and the good attack paths are longer, so you have to spit your army a bit to take advantage of all the flanking opportunities instead of 1Aing your army. BW doesn't have 1a problem for this map to try and fix, but I still think making too many attack paths too good hurts the map's identity a bit. Those paths are awkward on purpose.

Looks broken tbh, how is zerg meant to play this map? The 3rds are too open and difficult to defend

I'm excited to give this a shot! Is there a reason that the main is not on a higher ground than the natural? I liked that feature about cloud kingdom sc2 ?

This looks like a terran map, but i haven't played BW in a while so i may be wrong.
Nevertheless it looks like an amazing port, infact looks like a BW to SC2 Port.

When Cloud Kingdom came out, my initial thought was how much it looked like a BW map. This is really cool.

Im jumping on the bandwagon here to congratulate you to what seems to be a great map,.
I think this could play out really nicely. The two problems (already pointed out) is that there are almost no spots for overlords to hover at, its tau cross-ish in that regard so would probably be fine.
Also for a Zerg third i think you are better off taking 3/9 with 3 lurkers to guard the reversed ramp there. If you can secure that spot i would make it very hard for T to go all the way around, and would open up some nice backstab opportunities/ opportunity to muta kill the troops from the high ground there to buy time to rearrange lurkers.

3rth to hard to defend?
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

I just realised how good this design is for BW and how bad it is for sc2 since they can't make maps with tight chokes without breaking the game.

This map looks so much better in BW. I agree somewhat with the difficult third theories. But seriously, with a bit of tweaking it looks like a great map. Something about BW and the liberties you had to take to make it work make it look great.

Maps in BW just feel like thay have more space, I played a couple of games on CK on sc2, and in ZvP when we both had max armies it just felt cramped, although it is very good for flanks.

If you do make the 3rd a mineral only, but want to compensate for the "harder" to get gas, you could make the corner bases double gas? O_o? maybe?

Won't 3 / 9 be harder to hold than the corner expos?

I wasn't saying specifically the corner expo's, just adding a double gas SOMEWHERE would help to make up for he gas deficiency. That being said, I'm not sure that bases that hard to hold would be viable given modern modes of play. Corners are still pretty far from the natural and would require you to be really spaced out.
