2 entrances to main and within spitting distance if spawning in horizontal positions?
did you even play test it at all?...

^^ I will before it starts obviously
Edit: Also, closer ramp is blocked.

Haha, so we no longer play on ICCup ?
fine by me! Looking forward to this tournament

Time to get out the oblivion hacks again?
US West... Seriously come on.

can you provide a picture?>_>'
Just open the map in SCMDraft2 and under file there is the option to export it as a picture.

Sure, I'll do that.
Map glitch found, going to fix. Zerglings can runby eggs on ramp  --> fixing

How could PvT ever be winnable on this map i wonder...

lots of flanks.
Edit: Also, fixed bug, going to test it.

Map looks imbalanced, but I guess we all get to practice it ahead of time.

How in the hell is Zerg supposed to win against Terran here?
Slow tank push with mass turrets... and by slow I mean Terran is in Zerg's base in approximately 1 minute and 43 seconds.

Easy muta harass on main gas, terran may find tanks a difficult strat off one gas.
Not to mention lurk/ling flank.

Way too small I think. Post it on broodwarmaps.net to get reviews from the pros. Your map will be cut into pieces eaten and spit out but you'll learn about map making ^^

deal is like this:
It's totally imba in many way.
There are alot of stupid things one could do (burrow jump over eggs, any unit that kills the eggs quickly as dt/archon/siegetank/lurker, but even a goon, first goon to go through), but if you would go for a normal game it would be like this:
- way too narrow, infront of the natural. that space? Tanks > everything there, after that, T can keep a tankline on the cliff in his main push around it to the opponent's base while being protected from the top (ofc terran would never take the long passage, as the short one takes him 5seconds to the opponents base, where it's WAY too narrow for a P to do anything at all, it's like being contained in your main and the T in your nat, imba)
- the mineral layout in the mains is partly too far away asit seems, also only 8 mineral fields as an old school map and then follow up the mappool with only newschool maps (except taucross, which also has 9 mineral fields in its main, whatsoever)
- the mains are WAY too small, how are you suppossed to fit all your supply depots and then 10factories in there? or 10gateways?
- natural only has 5 mineral patches? 13 for 2bases, compared to usually 16 (9main+7nat)
- i think terran can abuse the terrain together with supply depots too good in the middle area to be flanked too much, either the P comes from the left or the right, but that's about it, more of a carrier map in that case

I'm the wrong person to listen to when it comes to giving direct map balance criticism, but I still think the general map concept/layout could work if the map was a lot larger.
I can see the top being pushed out further with more high ground plateaus in order to create attack and defense lanes in space other than the already present tight choke points. Split the 12 oclock into two expos with good terrain to separate them from being secured too easily.
The bottom could use a lot of space in between the bases as long it remains cutoff by ground to the top. If the bottom attack path time can be long by ground and tough to move along then it will encourage more movement to the top of the map. A nice low ground path blocked by a ton of eggs or stacked temples would help slow stuff beyond the initial 3 eggs at the ramp. This also would open up movement for both players equally once destroyed.
With the constriction of movement between the bottom and the top it would be wise to consider altering the construction of the main base so that muta harass and carriers aren't pure ownage.

I am currently making some major mods, standby.

Didn't read all of this but the mains are small, the distance between the bases is too short (in most 2 player maps that are close spawns they are divided by air i.e paranoid android / korean air map) and the main raised terrain reaches around to the half point of the map (can siege from your main to set up a push from base to base even if the starting spawns were separated by air).

what the devil is this map??? zerg can fly an overlord from the beginning and be at enemy base in like 20 seconds. useless 4 minerals in middle. even more useless 2 geysers on cliffs with no ramps and no minerals???
narrow chokes to your nat guarded by cliffs from your main. narrow middle means pretty much no flanks... T could place like 4 tanks at those 3 hills in the middle and cover pretty much the whole middle. hell they could wall off parts of the map and make it even more claustrophobic.
