This map is centered around the long obstructions that break up the movement around the tower. Now that the rocks are gone, this is where all the "action" will be in terms of active play -- more or less army positioning and map presence. I would like it better if there was less connected-ness around the 4th base. It doesn't really add positional value to the map, it's just your basic extra base, as needed, forcing map control or strong local presence. There's no good way to take a "forward" position to defend your 4th base without just having map control anyway, the tower being to close. Since you can't really do anything about this, it'd be much more interesting if the two ramps into the 4th weren't so similar. Some negative space here, like a high ground pod (even with a ramp up to it) would greatly extend the positional dynamics of the map, which are the weak point imo. In general quite solid, if a little bland/shallow. | ||

A suggestion is limiting the red stone rocks texture to organic ramps only, and tone down the use of cracks on the low ground some. | ||

As far as I know you want to only block one of those paths with rocks (if you're going to use rocks at all) so that zergs in tournaments don't insta-veto the map. Atm I think the situation here is kind of like Entombed Valley for a zerg, but worse. Otherwise I like the map | ||
