Personally, I'm tired of the outer bases never being used and the entire thing being zvz.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=91666¤tpage=8 A few interesting ways that you could think about balancing it would be to make the gas geysers buildable, but I don't think that you can put them close enough to create the unit size issues that you want while still making them buildable. Another way you could balance it would be by reducing the health of the neutral buildings that provide the second pathway into the nat. This could possibly allow the fast vult no dropship play to work, but it's not going to help protoss all that much. | ||

- Make the main + nat higher ground, sort of like Troy. This will allow easier defense for Terrans and Protoss, although it might help the zerg too due to higher ground sunkens or lurkers. - Reduce Xel'Naga temple's HP to 75% Faster destruction, faster push, harder for Zerg. This is for melee version of course :< But the OP's idea is pretty neat, won't be playable on ICCup though  | ||

+ Show Spoiler + JK, I actually think the idea of UMS triggers and such are the next step in progaming maps, but I don't think anyone is ready for enemy turrets... Not to mention it would be really annoying trying to stop your terran units from attacking the turrets while they're standing around/you're trying to run your marines to defend against turrets. To change the balance of this map (while being playable in melee), they need to take the geyser out of the main. FE every game for gas... but at least it slows down the zerg mutalisk attack, while giving some other interesting gameplay changes (in an already wacky map). | ||

Make missile turrets indestructible and they won' be targeted at all by units. AI just treats it like it wasn't there. Maybe only 3-4, just enough to prevent the overlord from flying straight there. | ||
