Instead of creating a thread for every single one of your maps on here. That's kinda spammy.

If you want exposure it's probably more useful to host a tournament including your maps. Just making a dozen threads here makes it highly unlikely people will play on them.
We will all just nag about different things. Don't forget everyone also has their own taste in maps.

Imagine being Protoss and spawning bottom left and Terran spawning bottom right. It would be very difficult to play against. The Terran could expand from left to right without much difficultly, and could even start ferrying units into the Protoss base with dropships.



There is a big difference between a choke and a high ground. High ground typically is not an advantage against siege tanks, except for a few odd scenarios.



On Fighting Spirit, if I am the green Terran in the bottom right-hand corner, the bridge creates a choke. The width of my army cannot exceed the width of the choke. That means I will be attacking into a very wide arc of enemy units. This dynamic is an even bigger problem on a map like Circuit Breaker. However, on Circuit Breaker, the Terran player will typically go up the high ground to go around the double-bridge choke on that map. The reason is pretty simple: the smaller the choke, the lesser the amount of siege tanks that can be positioned to fire. If the siege tanks are on the low-ground, however, the only limit to how many tanks can fire are impassible terrain, the amount of space between the furthest tank to the target area, and the size of the map.





On your map, there is impassible terrain to the north and south of the high ground, which slightly limits the width of the Terran force to slightly smaller than the Protoss force. However, the Protoss' only good path of retreat and reinforcements is directly north. Trying to send a significant number of units through the small ramp at the 6 o'clock base will end up getting them congested into a small space. To deny the Terran the high ground would require an overwhelming advantage from the Protoss army.


There also may be a problem playing TvZ if Terran spawns in the top left, but it is impossible to test because the links to your map are broken for me.




I received this message from both links that you provided.
