This layout is pretty interesting, I like the ideas. You should do another map just to try out the swamps more directly, though. Simplify and put them in the center where they're bound to be played on. Maybe copy Xelnaga caverns and put a swamp in the middle instead of a hole, and put swamp on the low ground 3rds? You need to overdo it for the sake of seeing how it plays. I'll host it on NA if you want, I'd like to play. ^^ | ||

1) The swamp idea is neat, but if you are trying to make this a map for competitive play it may not be a good idea. The swamp areas are also easily bypassed which brings up my next point: 2) The swamp areas aren't realistically going to be used at all. Why would anyone bring their army through the swamp when there is a path right next to it? I suppose that if you A-move your units to an adjacent spawn location the unit will attempt to go through the swamp instead of the path next to it, but any decent player would avoid the swamp at all costs. | ||

First of all it is mainly intended for flanking routes. Early Colossus/Thor pushes are a bit more difficult to pull of due to the fact that you need to go through the middle of the map. Secondly players are able to move beneath natural expansions and the swamp bypasses the problem of tanks sieging underneath the natural. If the swamp wasn't there you would have to make unpassable terrain behind the naturals because otherwise tanks could siege there, which is considered unfair for obvious reasons. And yeah it is absolutely designed for competitive play. | ||

(It takes less time for one player to get air from his NAT. where it would be most likely sitting, to the enemy's main) | ||

That doesn't make sense. | ||

That doesn't make sense. if you spawn next to each other, one person either expands awkwardly outward or has to expo towards the opponent while the other can expo as the map was designed AND away simultaneously | ||
