Also i wonder, how big are ramps @the ends of the middle highground? I figure its more then 1 forcefield but i wonder if it could be better with a slightly bigger ramp? (For bigger units like ultralisks and thors sake..?) | ||

(For bigger units like ultralisks and thors sake..?) Center thirds have been put to higher ground, meaning level 2. The center is now a big cliff at level 3. At the end of middle highground? I think 3 or 2 forcefield wide. | ||

Only problem is a Zerg player might as well GG at the beginning as Zerg have the obvious advantage out in the open and there are no obvious open areas where Terran/Toss have the advantage at chokes. Actually some of the areas might not be too bad but toss and terran can always fall back to the choke. Isn't that with every map? Cloud kingdom, people engage at chokes, they back up to the chokes Ohana not so much Daybreak, there's that dynamic at the natural to third and to the center. I guess the map could be more open, thanks for the feedback! | ||

As for the aesthetics, I originally didn't like them very much but they are growing on me. You could perhaps try messing with the specular in the lighting to make it more 'glowy'? Not sure about the fog colour either. | ||

Not sure about the fog colour either. I think the point of them is to make those corner bases more viable, due to the positional disadvantage that comes with attacking up a ramp like that. With that said, though, it seems like the number of ramps in the center circumvents that, and might actually make taking bases too difficult. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to bring that trio of ramps down to just two ramps, or even just one? | ||

The Yellow Boxes show unpathable terrain, meaning that you have to go through the dimple if you want to get to the corner bases as the attacker, which gives you some defensive capabilities if you get there in time - I'll look for better uses of space, though.

Only brighter, not glowier. If I make it 1 ramp, then siege tanks become way too powerful you see  I'll try 2, maybe that'll work better. | ||
