Look to Blizzards maps or some of the maps on this board and learn about naturals some more, they are designed to be an easy expand and grow the base, yours is easy to get to, and easy to defend, but altitude advantage on the 3rd is more desired by most races, and the fact it isn't labeled natural makes it a little more safe from scouting. Your design elements as whole are good for SC2 maps, large choke points, lot of room, but the main bases are a little to small, and the gold is a little too large. Clean it up a bit and it might be a solid 1v1 map, my biggest issue with it though is probably map size, its really really small from the looks of the screenshot. The way you have pathways and ramps in it currently makes rushing your only real option, macro game would be very difficult. Most expansions also provides long term play, I would suggest trying to make a bit larger size map, some of my favorite 1v1 maps started are also 2v2s (random spawns in 1v1). | ||

Using seige tanks i can have an easy expo and 3rd, while harrassing with drops or hellions or both. A standard push would give me 3/4 map control and a gold expansion. | ||

A standard push would give me 3/4 map control and a gold expansion. Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this. Terrans + siege tanks would make this map impossible for any other race to win on. It's just way too small, making it too easy to turtle using tanks. | ||

My solution: Put the gold lower at about the height of the main bases, making it harder to attack, but prevent total map control by the one controlling it. I would like to see the thirds higher and abit more to the right. And adding a top middle base, just by making the map abit larger would help. Larger fighting area is needed so that's why making the map bigger would be good, also the top expansion on low low ground so you can't depend it as easily because you could use it as the base of operations to attack your opponents 3rd natural. And the reason for the new base is so you can compete with the player that took the gold, with about the same or little less map control. Those would be some great adjustments. Also the nat could be abit lower to prevent seiging tanks at the 3rd. In mid game I already see so many uses for tanks by splitting your opponents bases. Sieging at 3rd would seperate the natural and main base, so in addition.to putting the nat abit lower, also make a backdoor enterance? Feels very hard to take another base. Either make that the only enterance to the base or add rocks to the front of the base. Similiar to Kulas Ravine but you don't have to break any rocks to get your expo for the sacrifice of getting a 3rd being harder. I hope you take some of these points into consideration, and best of luck. | ||

Since the map is small, getting tanks there will seriously not able you to be connected between your 3 bases. Next thing I see is the top path above gold is practically useless since units at gold will be able to attack the ones taking that path, making even a flank really hard to do.

I know that this map definitely needs a few adjustments, and you pretty much nailed them on the head. I will be working on this and will upload a new version when I do. =] | ||

I don't think the natural is so far that they could not expand there. Yes, fast expand would be a little more risky, but it'd be boring if all maps are the same. It comes down to who can play better and be more creative using the terrain of the map to their advantage. As for tanks holding down the 3rd easily, I'm not sure. It'd have to be played on. Thanks for the feedback. And do you wanna download and play? Now you can! | ||
