[M] (4) Sanctuarium by funcmode

Sanctuarium is my first 4 spawn rotationally symmetric map, something I've shied away from until now primarily because the nature of rotational symmetry often creates imbalances when players spawn at close positions. With that in mind, I tried to create a map that alleviated these problems as best I could.

I think the biggest (typical) problem with maps like this is the third base. Either the third is easier for one player than the other (in close positions) or if the thirds are equidistant they're often quite far away - so I decided to give each player 2 options; regardless of spawns they can always expand towards or away from their opponent, to a relatively close third base. The thirds themselves are designed to be quite equally appealing and safe, one is nearer the middle of the map but a bit tighter and harder to attack, while the other is nearer the outside of the map but more open and is usually a bit harder to defend.

In the mid to late game, the central high ground is typically the best place from which to launch an attack, and there is a central watchtower which encourages players to use this area, though it's vision can be circumvented by manoeuvring around it's perimeter.

Some other notable features include the small "drop zone" (no LOS blockers) in each players main which also doubles as a great location to place a pylon for low ground warp-ins, some lush pathways around the middle of the map with LOSB's, and a rather unique natural choke.
