i like the looks of it but the distances between the bases seem exceptionally long..like blue storm but considerably further.. but at least blue storm allowed you to fit small units through. 48 minerals is too much for early rushes to mine out (like zerglings)

also the chokes next to the huge ramps (that open up to the middle of the map) seem too small for that location..it's the only way in (besides the small mineral field possibility)

so basically right now seems like a veeeeeeeery macro oriented map (with possible proxy builds as well) since you can easily hold 3 bases with just a single small chokepoint

Yeah I couldn't really make the blue storm type of choke :<

You don't need to forge FE on this map, 1 gateway FE makes much more sense.

Do you think re-organizing the minerals and gas at the nat might fix?

Possibly yes by moving the gas to the sides, and you can narrow the choke more easily. I really like the map btw and the changes.

I would say T totally >>> P on this map... just look at the narrow passage out of natural expansion. Tanks behind those walls and units will melt like butter!

Anyways the map looks really good, just some balance thoughts, but that need testing.

i dont quite know the right way to describe it but your maps seem far too "clean" for me. They just look kind of boring.

I don't see how bluestorm is any less boring than this.
