Hi all. Got a new map to show off. Pretty straight foward:

I'm loving the interesting high ground between the main and the nat and all the ramps.

Looks like a map I'll definitely be trying.

That choke is a nightmare PvZ. And TvZ.

Is there enough room on top of the ridge between the main/nat to build a bunker or pylon+cannons? It seems like trying to hold a third will be a nightmare in any MU.
Force staff is the best item in the game.

Maybe you're just forced to take one of the other mains as a third, in certain matchups. tvp i don't imagine those inbetween thirds would be a problem. Those nat chokes would be some kind of problem for both sides of every matchup except zvt. Whatever the balance it looks fun and interesting.

Whoa, I really like it.

There doesn't seem to be much room anywhere though. And with the size of the expansions.. this could be brutal for fighting off air units. xD

Downloading now.

Hmm, wide chokes = Zerg heaven, Terran Hell.

the expansions at 2, 5, 8, and 11 can be hotspots for proxies. Is it just me or does it look like flanking can be done so easy here?

This map looks really powerful for early PvT goon rushes...how about reversing the ramps so that the wide side is on the inside and the small side faces towards the nat? Makes it easier to defend and still has that "dual ramp" effect.

I like this map, just the space behind some of the nats could be bigger to allow turrets and a bit of a smaller choke
Good map imp

All the highground in this map is unbuildable

It's a really cool idea, but it looks like it might be overdone up to the point of imbalance, especially in regards to the thirds.

It looks amazingly easy to bottle somebody up into their main.
But why?

It looks like it could be interesting, especially with respect to the ramps up/down between the nat and the main. Some interesting strategies to choke people into their main could work really easily.

The distances for main to main is quite longer than you'd imagine so taking a 3rd is actually safer than some would think. Anyone up for some testing today?

At the thirds, can a tank hit the money line from the main behind the 3rd?? the one at 1 oclock, this seems possible
