This is the basic layout I have made so far. Water will be added, as well as many little random islands that serve no distinctive purpose (but just for show, or to land a scout on or something).

Before I continue to progress with this map I need feedback on what you like and dislike, what you suggest, and what your ideas are of it.

Thanks!

I don't know if the towers are a good idea. In any case make sure you cant put a missile turret up there, it would make it unreasonably hard to remove some one from the tower.
When you play the game of drones you win or you die.

I would suggest removing the thirds from the main islands, removing the center watchtower and connecting the top/bottom watchtowers to the left/right islands.

I think it would be interesting if the islands in the middle were bridged to one main island each, as gold expos jutting towards the opponent's base.

I've decided to start over from scratch. I will post the new model shortly.

I like it. I think that there needs to be some more room in between the two large islands, so it's harder to tank an expo. In addition, there should be some doodads/random stuff in the water, as it looks pretty bland.
