Hello,
I just completed a draft on my first map and would love some comments/input on it. Here are a few key features:

• Natural expansions (x2) one exposed and one protected.
• The protected base ramp is blocked by Lurker Eggs to limit early game use and rush distance between horizontal bases.
• The exposed base is vulnerable from ranged attack, which forces the player to take control over the remote side in mid- late game.
• Back Door ramps blocked with Lurker Eggs allows the game to open up in mid-late game, especially useful in horizontal spawns.
• Wide middle platforms with exposed but valuable bases.
• Center allows to sneak units to the other side, for fast flank attacks.
• The split map architecture should allow for long, strategical and macro-based games.

I have not done any balance patches, and as a zerg player I am a little bit limited in knowledge about only P/T matchups.

Thanks

Cool idea. A few notes:

- Make the ramps in the middle area wider
- Make the area inside and around the middle bases formation sparsely unbuildable. Avoiding turret blockades would make long, draw-out games more interesting.
- In between the mains and the side, center bases there should be some water or another natural obstacle. Too easy to just drop units from there

Thanks for the feedback. I figured that the distance between the horizontal protected naturals was a bit to close and as such did not work as intended.

As such I went ahead and made a War in Heaven 2.0 with the protected and exposed naturals switched. I think it played much better:
