I think this would have a really fun feel to it. Really my only two suggestions are to make the scenery a bit more intriguing and to widen the choke to the expansions at the 3 o' clock and 9 o' clock positions. This way terran mech is a bit more balanced playing zerg. Really cool map though!!!

I'm sorry, I don't see that as a real problem. >.< I was thinking in tightening the chokes to the big ramps, but then I thought otherwise.

It looks almost the same to me. I can't see a difference at all from the pictures you posted.

Imaging a TvZ, with the terran in the top left position. The zerg fast expands, and macros off two bases. The terran rushes tanks and sieges them in the middle on the Southeast edge. The zerg is completely contained. In this situation, the zerg player is SCREWED for ground armies, except for nydus. I think you need to add a secondary path from the natural, to make contains harder.

I could be wrong though, just need to test it. Can you put a download link? I'll test and take a screen shot if needed to prove my point. Thanks,

Ummm, aside from the fact that the chokes are incredibly smaller and make for a completely different late game in my eyes.

The zerg is completely contained. In this situation, the zerg player is SCREWED for ground armies, except for nydus. I think you need to add a secondary path from the natural, to make contains harder.

I agree with you now, what if I made the middle high ground a bit smaller and the ramp farther away from the natural and move the xel naga watch tower out of range of middle tanks, therefore it would be harder for the Zerg to be contained and would still allow them to keep their eye on the Terran army (via tower).

EDIT: I'll put a download link up after I write my exam tomorrow, I have to study atm.

EDIT 2: Instead of playing TF2 during the rest of the downtime I might start a new map, keeping the thoughts and knowledge that I have gained from this map.

Looks really great. Want to try it out before commentating on it though.

i really like this map, some of the best i've seen around, no super wide but not all small chokes, posibility of flank and need of pushing out to take a 3rd. Great job.
Feel the power of the zerg swarm.

Yeah, the mains need to be made bigger, but otherwise, I really like this map. Nice job, keep it coming!
:D

EDIT: I posted this before I saw that you increased the size of the mains. Sorry!

I must say I really like this map.
The nats need cliffs 4 harass options.
The thirds need line of sight blockers for a little more defense because they are really exposed, like much more than anything I have seem before.

I still think it is a good map - regardless of whether or not it looks like Steppes of War - which it does.
