Quick update. I've overhauled the aesthetics and done a mix between the layouts I posted above. The aesthetics are not finished on this image- particularly the middle has nothing.

It's sad that you took out the highground in front of natural part. That was fun. Did it not work out?

I like most of the map, except the expansion progression for the first four bases. It just seems very lame... like that has to be the most boring straight forward four bases ever.

Love the changes. Definetely gonna try this out when I get home. What are your thoughts on Zerg flanking opportunities against an entrenched Terran? I think the central area is large enough to allow Zerg to simply go around whatever area the siege tank line might conver. The map is too different from Antiga Shipyard and its central highground to know how things would play out.

Also at first glance, I thought that none of the bordering expansion looks particularly hard to hold and that this was bad. However, taking expansion along the border stretches your army quite thin. I like it.

Love the back entrance for reapers.

The new design brings clarity. However, it looks more "tiled" and amateur. Perhaps it's the sharp, geometric edges on the bricks. Or the very repetitive rock pattern at the very top of the map (12:00).

Okay, I can try to work on that. I really like the manmade sections because they are lined by some awesome decals ^^

This is what I'm trying out in the middle

Question: Do you foresee any problems with zerg having trouble securing a fifth? Or is that just one of the things a player has to be aware of in the map? I don't really think it makes or breaks the map, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

In version 1.0 I was quite worried. In 1.2 I'm not too concerned because the 1-gas expansion is out of range of any units on the highground center and it isn't that close to the opponent. The lowground expansion at the bottom of the map can also be used as a 5th or 6th because it is really far out of the war zone (the top of the map is where most engagements happen so the lower expos aren't very much at risk).

I feel like the very bottom expansions are a little squeezed in...is there enough space to the wall behind it? Why are all ramps so small?

The ramps are small so that the expansions can be taken easily. The small ramps also make sentry drops and harass more effective.

Hmm, seems like this map will really encourage positioning and posturing. I like that in a map.

I don't see anything really WRONG with it, and it looks kinda cool and fun to play. Good job.
