They could have a PvZ on this map, with the zerg completely taking the map. And Protoss turtling like a madman going pure voidray-collosus-sentry and completely hulksmash a zerg to the point that Manifesto's mouse is on fire because of the LR thread.

And I'd still smile due to the looks of it.

An island themed map just in time for summer! Looks great.

I may be going blind here, but on the latest overview of the map I cant spot the xel'naga watchtowers, were they all removed ?

Aesthetically - awesome.

Want to see some games on this to work out balance, but looks pretty good. Put this on EU now! :D

This map has changed a bit since last time I saw it

Am I correct to say that the central XN tower has been removed? Also, that the entire middle "island" is not ground pathable?

Tried this map out on ladder today. Seems pretty fun. The natural is very open though. Reminds me a bit of desert oasis.

Definitely has a wc3 feel to it, but definitely in a good way. Looks like lots of opportunities for counterattacks and flanking.

I really like that none of the expansions other then the natural are very safe. Can't camp a ball of units anywhere and be safe. Looks like it encourages a mobile playstyle. Who knows though ;x Gold expansions are only thing that I don't like. Not a fan of them.

Sorry if it has been asked, how does it look when creep is spread in the water areas?

Also, this map looks amazing. Just the look of the map, how beautiful it is, makes me want to play it. I love this kind of terrain. Shattered Temple is kind of my favorite map in the ladder, just because I like the terrain. Most of the other maps are too dark, lol.

I'm too nub to comment on balance but that is a work of art. So beautiful. Makes me want to go to a secluded island and just stay there for a few months. Wow that is amazing.
