super split map, basically this map's best feature is that the natural is super vulnerable later in the game making it necessary to position defenses there.

Pretty solid map. Can you drop units on those raised cliffs by the natural and third?

Though it's probably intended, the 3rd and 4th seem veeery easy to defend, which could be interesting. The land behind the mineral lines in the naturals can be really exploited in tvz, with tanks across the gap and medivac drop into the natural. Lings would have to run across the map to deal with the tanks which protect the dropped units.

It's only difficult in the late game. Have many of the games you spectators gone on longer than 15-20 minutes (when the issues I mentioned start coming up)?

You should make that possible. Would be cool to see some tanks there.

Very turtly and very splitty. There is exactly 1 path to the enemy base, you can effortlessly FFE at the third, and even when the rocks go down, there is barely any army movement required to defend 4 bases by ground. The lack of open space in that 4-base area could hurt zerg too, especially the long corridor leading to the nat.

Try moving the rocked ramps a lot closer to the nats so when the rocks go down, it opens up another path to the opposite side of the map - this will also increase the difficulty of taking 3 bases.

Everyone doubts me. The mapmaker of quite a few maps. (Ask any good mapmaker) I asked a question and I haven't gotten an answer, you don't need to be rude.



Anyway, I was merely mentioning a positive aspect of your map, which was that since the map was so split in the late game, at least the natural would be a very vulnerable location for you.

i dont see how they would get that much harder to defend. you just park your army on the high ground between the 2 chokes and you have secured 4 bases super easily. this goes against the rule where defending 4 bases should be at least 3-4 chokes to defend.

thats not the point. you're going to make for games to be just stall out macro boring games. a map, generally, should force players to make decisions on how to take their bases outside their natural. here, your map is just like, herp derp im just gonna throw down 4 base and defend from one point ezpz.

also no need to be passive aggressive with your comments. we're here to help you. if you want to argue with us so much and not take criticism then dont post your maps here.
