+ Show Spoiler [Rough Draft lol] +

I noticed a few bugs with the editor while making this map. + Show Spoiler +

Namely when you press undo, it tends to change things very slightly (doesn't put them back exactly). Same with saving the map. Also noticed similarly when drawing things with very intimate detail, it will backtrack and effect other places slightly. These were very very annoying when drawing the small intricate celtic designs. And the designs are left looking unlike how they look above in the actual map (no matter how many times I corrected it and saved).
Another bug I noticed is that low ground/water near a ramp will cause black squares to form and be unremovable.

Yea, the links worked if you manually typed in the URL, but they wouldn't embed for some reason. Reuploaded. Should be fine now.

Cool idea, any rocks at the gold? looks like terran can float a cc there pretty easily. Also you should take some time to replace the minerals, I dont think its the correct distances

I like the idea of mixing gold and regular mineral patches.

the gold is a land base, if you meant the island, no. Just the 7 on the path.

yea, thinking I should put the blues on the inside though because the way they will mine out.

Terran could simply lift to the corner expansions for a well-defended, resource-rich base.

Terrans can also do this on LT, DO, KR, IZ, SoW and SS.

You can use the pathing layer and the brush "no building" to make an area not build-able, I found it worked a lot better then using the no building doodad.

Just go into the pathing layer, hit control + shift + H and then go into wireframe mode (at least this is what I had to do but it may have been due to me making a shallow watered area not build-able as control + shift + H didn't reveal all path able areas on the map :/), and use the brush to paint the area not build-able (which shows up goldish).

Awesome map :D

But then they can't expand safely at all.

Great map, really look forward to play on it.

Couple fixes I'm going to make
-Smaller island (it's fuckin huge)
-Some doodads and detail in around the water and island.
-Double high ground ridge on large sections of the mains to prevent reapers, collosus, and blink stalkers from too many angles.
-Also, want the backdoor path to only fit small units like lings/workers/marines but almost everything can fit there.
-Dark colored ridges unwalkable. (can't drop/blink/jump/walk up with anything)
-Fix backdoor walling equality
-Possibly extend the middle ridges down/up next to the 4 leaf clovers
-Possibly reduce 1/3 of the forest to East and West of pyramid to only be LoS blocker.
-create low ground for entire 4 leaf areas, ramps from all sides.
-fix unequal 4 leaf clover sizes

-edit- some more in game pics too.

But islands on official blizzard maps have fewer patches than mains and naturals. It is kind of hard to tell but don't these islands have the same mineral richness as the standard bases?
