This map is huge. No offense it looks great but people always complained when I made maps with shortest distance of 160 or more.

I disagree, 170~ is about what most aim for in their maps.

The size is the one thing I would consider changing about the map. I played a quick game on it against the AI, and it is quite large for a two-player map. I like that there's are nice open areas leading off the central ramps for engagements, but I'm worried there could be a bit too much open space on the left and right sides.

The natural also feels relatively far from the main. I don't necessarily think it's a problem, but some players do dislike that.

Tightened some areas on the edge of map, crated a couple chokes, made third slightly easier to defend (i think). But I did not constrain the bounds any further, as I do not want to make the epxansions any closer than they already are. And the natural is close enough to the main to require only one Creep Tumor for Zerg, but far enough away to make FE difficult for protoss for terran imo (no i am not a zerg player ^^).

A before and after:

Looking forward to some further feedback. Thanks!

And a sneakpeek of another map I'm almost ready to release!!!

I want to play this map!

NA release please.

Yup. Looks awesome, I would actually say I like the XNW's on the high ground, they are good strategic spots but not entirely necessary to have as they don't cover the middle. Whatever, testing will show what works best.
