I'm with wnio on this one, i like the old middle better. if you don't want to open it up too much you can use los blockers. I've always thought of them as "soft walls".

Don't know what i feel about the nat changes, didn't get to test too much on the old one. i'll prob have time on monday when i get my computer.

Mins in the mid looks good will comment after more games.

I like the current version a lot better, but like some people were saying the high ground near the natural is very exploitable, especially in it's current iteration. I've tested this a lot on my map Starchild and it's pretty important to put something to deter that sort of play (ie a destructible rock). You can make this rock low hp/armor but it the way it is just doesn't quite work in my experience. Also, how wide is the smallest point up there? It looks like you might be able to wall it in with a single bunker, and if you can do that then simply dropping a tank, scv and some marines up there would be brutal. Is this possible?

EDIT: No complaints on the rest of the map and the above is purely speculation so disregard if you've tested the hell out of it

Dude I love it, I think its really awesome, but I think you should have two paths leading to the ledge above the natural, one really short/direct path protected by a set of destructible rocks, or even two, and then one long one w/o destructible rocks. Now, as everyone else has pointed out, this map seems a bit Zerg UP, so maybe add spots of neutral creep (idk if you can do this, i have yet to look @ the map editor. Basically to give zerg units a speed boost, but only along the long corridors, as people said so to avoid as much tank fire, and also to help balance out the non flanking aspect.

I like the idea of using LOS blockers to break up the open center. I'm going to try that.

I'd like to test the natural cliff more than it has been. The jury is still out. A bunker doesn't wall it off where it is smallest, but there isn't much more room. I could make the smaller section unbuildable if it proves to be a problem.

Im curious to know, Did you took the Succes of Xel naga Caverns into your mind and basicly recreated it but sightly modified? It reminds me alot of it.

Other than that i really think the ledge of the natural will be really problematic. But i have no suggestions to improve it.

The map looks absolutely amazing, i love how it feels good while playing on it. Of course people are going to comment on balance but just get enough data before you change anything

I can publish it on EU for you. I'll send you an email.

Edit: Published on EU as Leviathan 1.2. Ugh transmitting archive file failed about 5 times, why can't Bnet 0.2 just work...

Updated OP with images of version 1.2. Added some LOS Blockers to the center.

" ...low hp/armor but it the way it is just doesn't quite work"

The use of low hp dr is wicked... (3 or 4 low hp and 1 or 2 regular for a block off (requiring extra player apm / strategy) instead of just 1 unit to have to work on is the way of the Gosu mapmaker..! + Show Spoiler +

This map and Continuum are the best user-made maps I've seen (including iCCup).

The only change I would make is adding rocks to the ramp that leads to the corridors on each side of the map.

Played the map and it really feels very good. Wouldn't change anything right now. This map (and many others recently released maps) proof that not only the iCCup map makers know their job

If you feel the cliff above the nat is to exploitable just make some parts of it unpathable and lower the surface area (and fill it with doodads like you nicely did on the rest of the map) (are those LoSB brushes beneath the stones Oo).

Those rich minerals are super choked, it's interesting but I worry that it will be too attractive for Terran/Toss to expand there and then Zerg can't really poke in,

Then again that goes for Zerg expanding into a safe cozy Rich early on.
GOGOGO!

How long is the walk distance between the bases in comparison to maps like shakuras and stepes of war

The distance from main to main is similar to Shakuras Plateau cross positions (about 35 seconds).
