I hope you can't drop units on top of the high ground between the natural and the third. My favorite idea is the high ground leading to the rocks next to the third. | ||

The center feels too big compared to its purpose, I'd rather only have two half gold bases each side and force the player to get a CC in the center.

My favorite idea is the high ground leading to the rocks next to the third. you are right! i have made it so that you cant use reapers or drop on the highground in your main, i forgot to mention that in the post. thanks for your feedback | ||

The mains are also pretty small, and there isn't really any room in your natural for extra production buildings. The ratio here is Big Main - Small Natural Medium Main - Medium Natural Small Main - Large natural You have Small Main - Small Natural. If you have a small main, you need more room in the natural to fit extra production buildings (think about terran in this scenario). Terrans need a larger main for this very purpose. Gold bases play this role: If I get it first, I not only get both gold bases, but I win. Simply put, the gold bases are far, far too close to each other (Xel'Naga Caverns gold bases were considered too close). I would suggest removing the gold bases altogether, because the xel'naga watch towers are completely blocked by them, which means the gold bases are forevercontested.jpg. It's not a bad thing, but with a watch tower literally a foot from the mineral line, this is bad. Remove the golds. Biggest one of all: increase the map size. Right now this is a 1-base all-in map. | ||

If you enlarge the size of the map 10-20%, you can put them back in somewhere near the center (like Antiga middle bases, I guess). This map feels very small and direct, like a season 1 ladder map. It's not bad per se (except the middle bases), but it seems like your mapper's eye is afraid of too big. Don't be, push yourself to get comfortable working with larger distances between the two sides. | ||

I feel that the natural minerals are weirdly laid out. Try to move it more into the main, by moving the main ramp to where the highground is. now for the third kekekeekekkekeeke. get rid of the double ramp, and make the choke from the middle to the 3rd smaller. that should really help it out. middle bases, get rid of them. one XNT in the middle, not the two on the sides, or else whoever gets those has too much map control. needs more bases. suggest a more easier to take 4th in between the 3rd and the base below the main. antigua styled bases are fine too. looks good. | ||

I think the amount of bases is fine (I still believe 10 bases for a 2p map is okay), its just that they're really close and the distances are quite short. I would advise increasing the size of the middle/sides. But honestly that's a massive nuisance, you might just consider remaking or working on a new project. I hate saying that, but once the aesthetics are done like they are on Duotax, and the whole thing needs to be bigger, its sometimes best just to leave the map in a somewhat-decent-shape and start a new one. thanks for the feedback, what would be your suggested map bounds to start a map with ? feedback from you and ironman really means alot, as im your biggest fan | ||

I usually start my 2p maps at 144x144, but they get smaller as I go. My most recent project ended up at 144x120, and the one before that was 144x116 (Afterglow). | ||
