![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/TDc1V.jpg) You could make it only passable to marines/lings/zealots or however. Did you think about this? The map doesn't need it really. Just seemed cool. | ||

(At least I think that was the case) | ||

People said it would be better with out so I've given it a trial, and so far i found i preferred having a path there. | ||

Ideas for ya: Picture: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hDhEK.jpg) First, add back in the narrow pathway you were just talking about, but make it a little bigger. Make sure the two high ground pods next to it are not pathable. Add LoSB on each entrance to it (The grey lines = LoSB) Shrink the ramp going to the middle to a double wide instead of a triple wide that it's at now (The Light Blue) Add a new pathable area behind your natural that gives some high ground coverage to the third. This will help out a lot for protoss and terran, since the 3rd is a little farther away and more open the high ground will help them defend it easier. Add a little LOSB to that new area behind the natural as well, to add some "security" to drops or sneaky play. Get rid of the d-rocks by the 3rd. Instead add more pathable high ground (The Light Green) on that side of it. I was thinking adding a ramp where one of the d-rocks is now. It would be a great play to drop some units but wouldn't be that OP since there would be a ramp to get up there. The two little high ground pods by the NE and SW bases (6ths?) I don't think are needed. They don't do much for gameplay. Also might want to think about making the d-rocks in the middle just 1 rock instead of the 2 they are now. Keep it up! | ||

I can't give any criticism with an analyzer photo since I don't even know what's a flat choke and what's a ramp. | ||

Same with the rocks on the ramps in the middle. I can't really tell from the analyzer, but they look like 2 sets of rocks, in which case they should really just be put together into one big set. If someone wants to break down those rocks offensively, splitting it into 2 parts just makes it harder to clear the ramp for an attack. | ||

Overview will be up within the next couple hours! That is a promise this time! | ||

The only thing I can think of right now is that it seems a little tougher to take a fifth base, and your first four bases are always going to be in the same locations. At least that's the way it seems. But it's a minor issue especially since the layout promises some exciting and dynamic games. This map looks like a lot of fun to play, I hope to see it do well in addition to being published on EU. Really nice work. | ||

The more I look at it the more I don't think they are needed at all, especially with the other ramp right next to it. Also shrink the ramps pointing towards the middle by 1. It'll make that 5th a little "easier" to hold. I may yet remove the ramps with the rocks, but i don't think I will be reducing the ramp going to middle, though I might move it over a bit. | ||
