Has the third proven too difficult to take and hold? I like a lot about this map, but that third looks impossibly far away.

The layout looks really solid, I can definitely see this being used for tournament play. Also I like the choice of blue sand and red man-made cliffs, a bit different from what we normally see.

I think you're mistaking the 3rd for the 4th.

I can see burrowed banelings being amazing on this map, especially in the middle choke :O

Also, how much of a difference does it middle choke make upon the time it takes a large army to move through it? I remember in BW due to the pathing that the difference was massive, but I'm not sure how that will pan out in sc2...

Full backdoor base. 3rd choke about 15 grids wide. Mid passage choky. 4th base very far. No air space behind main or natural, but a little behind 3rd.
Basically nothing more than a 2 player version of Calm Before the Storm.

I hope that its not possible to get highground vision to main by placing a unit in the nearby highground base. That would make blink stalkers in pvp really stupid.

Thx good point about the blink stalkers Sea_Food. You can't blink into main/backdoor nat directly but you can give vision, I will fix this by adding LoS blockers.

It has been used for tournament play

Good remake, it would be cool to see how it plays out in SC2. It was a really fun map in BW.

Updated the map. Improved the aesthetics overall, added critters and made a wall between main and middle base highground to prevent units from giving vision to the main (for blink stalkers and warpins).

I can see what you mean Sea_Food, the three first bases are the same and thus the fourth is a bit farther away.
Other than that i don't think it's just like Calm Before the Storm...

Thanks everyone else for compliments. The BW mapmakers are true geniuses and I'd love to see maps like this being played in SC2

I love the layout of the middle area, the flank possibilities and everything, but.... full inbase expo ? AND natural easy to defend ? That's gonna be hard in ZvP and TvP - Giving Toss a free third base is gonna be very very hard on every other race.

a bit concern here, is the in-base natural siege-able from the upper platform?

New aesthetics look nice but I was a fan of the contrasting sand & man-mades.

Not a fan of water marking the boundaries, since water is typically pathable and doesn't really represent unpathable space very well, and it's all rounded while pathing boundaries and geometric. Otherwise, it looks really great.
all's fair in love and melodies

I love the layout... but there's water on the map! Why must every other map have water spilling over the edges? It was an interesting creative touch at first, but now it is just overused to an extreme. Plus, whenever you place buildings on the sloped terrain, it warps and looks unsightly. It can work for some maps, but here the water seems out of place with this tileset.

It's a reef, basically water is a key part of the whole thing.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but since Bel'Shir Beach was remade with snow theme , ESV Ohana used by NASL is the only competitive map with water going over the edges. So I don't see how we have too many of these maps^^
In wc3 many more maps had water on the map, and it was awesomeee!
