I have two issues with it though: - On the map below, I marked all (or most) areas that have trees standing in water. It looks irritating, and it actually is because trees don't do that in real life. Also, the two large red areas next to the main bases look rather bland with just lots of trees thrown in there. I suggest replacing the large red areas with deep water, and the smaller ones with rocks or other fitting doodads. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3oG2B.jpg) - A tank can reach one geyser in each main base. Is that intended? | ||

However, the map is aiming for a Caribbean kind of vibe with white beaches, soft blue water and lots of palm trees (which don't grow in water). Trees covering water are more reminiscent of swampy and extremely moist jungles. I personally wouldn't put those together, even if there are some real life exceptions where some plants overlap both types of terrain. But then again, that's just my impression, maybe for others this is totally fine. | ||

No way to defend your nat so your only option is rushing. Defending against zerg seems impossible(at least on a map like xel naga you have a small ramp) do love the water though I disagree, the destructible rocks, line of sight blockers as well as the space in the natural compensate for all the entrances - on the contrary, it's a lot harder for zergs to defend. Just like on Tal'Darim, the natural and 3rd both have chokes, but on this the distance between the chokes seems smaller, and leads straight into the natural. It's a cool map, a bit tough to get to grips with at the start... My only complaint is creep tumours look a bit weird, with the top just poking out the water. | ||

My concern is that on low graphics, the water looks really weird since its running so fast. Would you consider changing its Run Speed to 0.001? | ||
