I would suggest to use the plant-details or foliage tool (unsure what its name is in english, in german it is "bodendetail verbieten") and un-paint the areas of the pathes and the area of CCs and harvesting.

Removed a bunch of foliage (factor reduced to 1.0 from 1.5 and unpainted foliage area).

I would prefer an in between solution. Quite some plants, but fewer stones.

Map has been slightly updated due to feedback (foliage). I think i gonna keep the rocks in the mid (they are rarely killed and replacing one big rock with a bunch of small rocks/temples will make the decision to kill this even harder). Also added a replay (2 Master League players).

If anyone is interested in publishing this map on US - let me know.

Fixed a small issue which allowed units to slip through the middle passage (next to the rocks). Still locking for someone who wants to upload this map to US.

i have always wondered if you could just make an na account using a friend key, and use that one to log in and publish maps even after the 7 days. has anyone ever tried that?

Currently it's possible to blink from behind the HY to the main area on a broad front. Currently i'm note sure if this is a good think or if a should widen the gap a little bit so you can only blink to a small area. This change will slightly decrease the size of the main (won't be a problem because with 38.x CCs in size it's big enough to scrap some parts.

Changed gap between HY and main - it's still possible to blink right in but on a much smaller front with lesser stalkers (and close to the ramp) where you normally set up your defense.

I'm still not sure if also this is to strong and if i should completly remove the possibility to blink right into the main without a spotter.

What do you think?

Thanks

Changed the main furthermore - now it isn't possible to blink right into the main anymore. It's also impossible to use the vision granted from behind the HY to blink right up into the main from the lowground nearby. In the redesign process the main has been slightly decreased in size (now "only" 36CCs big) and the ramp has been slightly repositioned. It's still possible to wall from the ramp to the Nexus/CC at the Natural with 2 3x3 or 3 2x2 buildings - so overall this change strengthens the defending.

Map will be updated online once i'm back at uni (will also get in contact with my SEA and NA uploaders then).

Updated the thread with new pics due to latest changes:
-increased the gap between main and HY (can't blink in with stalkers anymore (even can't blink into the main with vision gained from the HY area))
-slightly repositioned main ramp to keep the space at the top of the ramp roughly the same

New version is currently only available at EU. Gonna get in contact with my SEA/US hosters asap.

I really like the placement of the high yield patches and the linked path separated like rocks; that single part reminds me of jungle basin, put in a much nicer overall map layout. I actually liked that part of jungle basin despite the overall map. Also, nice placement of the watchtowers and the exclusion to the center path.

A bit different than what I've seen and I like it.

Props to you for making an already awesome map even better! It really speaks up for you that you continue to balance your maps.

I would love to see the map without the fog of war blockers and instead terrain there, increasing the rush distance of the map (and forcing players to knock down the middle if they want to attack).
