Not a lot of places I would want to engage, maxed, with a zerg army except outside the nat.
Textures are sort of strange...

Counter-attacking styles are going to be fun!
Can we get some in-game shots?

woah i really like the colour scheme and overall aesthetics.

my concern is that the ramps to the 9/3 and the 6/12 o'clock bases are too tight, which causes all sorts of difficulty for zerg, both assaulting and defending

oh man those in game screenshots really show how much the texures make this map feel smaller.

Cool stuff though, if a bit disorientating. I like how the middle expansions are setup.

Looks sick and very different from what we normally see theme-wise, good job. The forth might be a bit too easy to take though, maybe put some more ramps at the outer sides.

Well, I never played Polaris in BW so I can't comment on how well this reflects that map. But it looks f'in awesome. I love the color scheme and the textures.

I really like the textures of the map. They're slightly reminiscent of Halo for me, which is a good thing because I always loved Halo's scenery--especially the space ships.

It looks like an Aim map from CS to me, really like it

ITS OVER 9000!!! ok joking aside, i love this map. I didn't look at the influence before looking at this map and was astounded by the similarities.

the only problem i have with this is the chokes everywhere. i love the base layouts and everything, just not the corridors. if you could widen them a little, that would be lots of help to zerg.

This map looks amazing!!! The texture looks incredible!

Edit: Played a few games on it and have to adjust what I said before. The yellow is way too bright. It makes it really hard to see your structures. There are a lot of bits that are just way too bright. It is really distracting. Maybe you should change it to a different time of day (less light) or change the colours. As cool as it looks as a map on pictures, in game it's actually quite strenuous. The terrain is amazing though. Seemed very balanced and had room for a lot of tactical play.

the white and yellow are way too bright. Maybe if you tone down the lighting or something?

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be a remake of Polaris Rhapsody. But Bloody Ridge is pretty cool too.

Well, the map is way to bright ingame for me as well. It's also kinda hard to tell the cliff levels on the minimap due to the same texture style used all over it. Also found a texture bug as well:

Have you played on it? It's really confusing.
This is constructive criticism - fix this and this map is sweet to go

looks really sexy sexy

i look at the BW map tho i wonder how you're supposed to get a third? or is it more of one of those genius maps where the pathing/architecture gives you enough safety?

Awesome looking, gameplay wise, I think there needs to be another path to a third base. Would be hard for Toss/Terran to hold 3rd base and natural without splitting up their army too much. Not to mention the distance from 3rd base mineral line to natural mineral line is quite long by ground and very short by air, making Mutas very good for harassment.
I'm only here to help you. But I really don't want to.

i see it like that:
a little further away third = saver (means in this case a double ramp which you can easily block with cannons or buildings)
a closer third = more open like on daybreak

and yes mutas will be strong here

Didn't play against Zerg on this map so I missed that. I agree, mineral lines from 2nd and 3rd are to close by air and too far by ground. This is Muta heaven, especially with all the dead space at the edges.

If everyone is going to complain about the dead space, you should add a lot more space to the mains so it looks like the bloody ridge map where vs mutas, people can but turrets/cannons in between their bases due to the main config of NBR.

i made it a little less bright overall, also removed the texture bug on the borders.

here is a picture that shows the air space behind the mains and the area between main and third.
i think only in the blue area flying units could actually hide from taken dmg. seems ok to me
