Actually seems like it would be a pretty good BW map. The biggest concern I have is that it's not possible to make a proper FFE wall.

I see you already addressed that earlier in the comments, but I have my doubts.

Anyway, I think it is P favored, but not enough for it to be a broken map. Good job.

Looks awesome.

This looks pretty good for TvP depending on the map size. I feel like I can get a 3rd and 4th base (as Terran) quite easily from the looks of it (which is good for balance I think). Will def try it out.

Um taking a third in tvp looks tough on this map. When taking a third you can be busted from two (four?) angles which are extremely open and cant really be walled with buildings until much later into the game. Late game if terran splits the map vertically (which really looks like the only way to do it), if terran does anything aggressive, toss can just charge his whole army into whatever area terran has the least defense and kill everything, and then easily retreat. It looks like a late game protoss army has a lot of targets for backstabing, and huge open areas to crush terran armies.

Pretty good map design, but the snow tileset in BW is so bright it hurts the eyes.

Just at a glance with the 2nd natural i would suggest for balance for ZVP just add 2-3 stacked reactors on the natural ramps that way the toss has an easier time to wall off, and then eventually it can be broken so that units can move out easier.

Just had a game on it ZvT (me Z) it was pretty fun. The snow tileset makes it really difficult to see my units on the minimap though lol.

I really wanna play a TvP on it though just to see what its like lol.

How hard is it to swap to a desert tileset?

Version 1.1 is up now (image + download).

Changes:
-Narrowed natural ramp by 1 width (4 -> 3)
-Increased size of unpathable cliff ("overlord pod") between main and nat
-Reduced amount of snow in main/nat for less complaints about blinding glare in game

Hopefully the aesthetic changes are enough that I don't have to do a complete tileset switch.
