Also I hope its cross spawn only, any other combo of starting locations gives one player an expansion advantage. Nerazim Crypt had that problem. I would say this map is very much like Nerazim Crypt, the differences being the semi-island expos, and the 4 watchtowers were highgrounds and there was no dead space in the middle. | ||

Then it's literally one siege tank radius to the zerg's 3rd. The intention was that when Zerg spawns ccw they don't take the cw base as their third. They take the ccw third. | ||

Well then, two tank radii to cutting off the 3rd from the natural and killing either. It just looks broken in the same way but much more severe that XNC was broken, at least for those spawns. | ||

I think the close thirds are a bit too close, though, and open. Seems like you'll just easily secure it if you have a big enough army, and never secure it with a smaller army. Seems like that makes the skill required to take a third very simple, only about army size, not much positioning or other things. I do really like the addition of those paths though. | ||

I wonder if you could get away with pushing the minerals on the high ground middle bases back against the edge some. Or rather, cut away some of the terrain behind them and then get rid of some of the terrain on the far side of the little path so it remains the same size, but a bit away from the main so you don't have vision issues either. That would improve this map for me. Good point. I created some space between the path and the main so that there are no vision issues. The entirety of the paths are now visible.

I'm not sure what I can do about that. If there are any suggestions I would like to hear them. Hopefully the other interesting features of the map compensate for the dullness of the part you describe. | ||

I thought about this some more and decided to move the third around a little and I created a area in the natural that helps you control the third area with siege tanks or collosi or whatever else. | ||

Ooh, looks cool. It gives it a bit of flavor, don't you think? Feels a little different from other maps now. Not quite like anything else, so I think it would be worth playing on like this. | ||
