Siege Tanks would also own. IMO Terran is really OP on this map. I like the natural being behind your main because it will encourage fast-expanding on a relatively small map which can be hard to accomplish as a map editor. Speedlings can run by your choke and harass your natural and as soon as your army moves away from your ramp to kill them, more lings could even run up into your main, making run-by's that much more powerful because the natural isn't guarding you choke. Great job on this map! My only suggestions would be to remove the high ground all around the map. It's okay to have some by a natural for harassment, but all around the place is too OP for Terran. Also, you might want to bring the 3rd base out a little to remove the choke or maybe increase the HP of those destructible rocks. Taking a third base seems to easy and easy to defend. Great map though. Really favors Terran unfortunately (I'm a Zerg player so this may be a little bias  ) with all those chokes and high ground. | ||

I just thought of this now so sorry for not putting it in my last post - maybe you should have destructible rocks blocking your main off from the rest of the high ground instead of doo-dads or whatever is there right now. That would give more harassment options and latter game options for non-terrans. PS: this map looks smaller than steps of war :S make it larger if you want it to be a four-player map. | ||

I think the neutral creep tumor is an especially good touch. There might need to be two of them, though, if it does turn out zerg has too hard of a time defending his main and natural simultaneously. | ||

I really like the small touches like the pipes by cliffs to reduce the reaper harass and the creep tumor by the natural. The only thing that im a little uneasy about it the middle not being symmetrical but without testing im not sure if it really makes much of a difference. I also cant tell for sure but it looks like there may not be enough room in the main but dont hold me to that  It appears like air harass would be very effective on this map since all 3 mineral lines are pretty close together but at the same time it makes it easier to defend. A few well placed turrets could shutdown harass for all 3 bases or at least stall for the rest of your forces to get there. Also blink stalkers would be insanely strong on this map imo | ||

![[image loading]](http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/6705/cityofmengskbig.png) I think the 3rd should be a little bit more open just to add to the flow of the map. You could remove the second ramp that faces the third's main and add one directly into the base. Then just shift the resources over. Mostly just to make the third base a little harder to hold from your main and to give you faster access from the 3rd to the cliffs around the edge. Just my 2 cents though. | ||

I think the idea was if you mine out the minerals in your base that a scout cant go tru anymore, but I think he still can by taking the other sides minerals, and just let it move back to your own base, so it passes your opponents base so the scout gets in, (or he just can bring minerals from his own home but thats more effort :p ) If you noticed it, or even planned like this, fine by that. I just hope it is not to easy to scout. Picture: The scout tries to move to their 4 or 7 o'clock base (not sure about 10 o'clock base ![[image loading]](http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/3015/najr0os8.jpg) If this not was planned, you might wanna try replacing them to other spots, like for the 2 o'clock place it above the 3rd, not sure what a scout would do there. | ||

China has some strong points but the internet is definitely not one of them, unless you can read and write Chinese well enough to get involved in the Chinese gaming community. It's almost impossible to actively participate in non-Chinese gaming communities from here because of the firewall blocking half the sites and lagging up all the rest, not to mention lagging the games themselves. I can barely even play SCBW on iccup without dropping or lagging like shit =[ | ||
