Open ended third bases strongly favor Zerg though so if you want a chance of people playing your map competitively, you need to think about that. Based on your diagram, you have never tried mech Terran and don't care for the style as a spectator. That is also fine. But you can play heavy bio style on any map. You can't play mech on this map. If you think that eliminating 2/3 of Terran compositions is wise and will make people want to play your map or that it is somehow "good map design," fair enough. Watch Stephano vs Hero on Shakuras Plateau from NASL and tell me that dynamic is something everyone will enjoy watching. It was absolutely painful for me as a non Protoss to see Hero have to cancel his third a dozen tines while Stephano took five bases. It seems like that is what you are hoping for, And that is fine if you think it serves your interests. I'm just going to say that this third is NO HARDER than on Daybreak, Cloud Kingdom, Atlantis Spaceship (albeit that map is very big), etc. | ||

Was having some reoccurring issues (and I'm running a beast computer) My computer is not lagging AT ALL for some reason. Where are you talking about? Also forcefield walls really shouldn't cause lag because they're simple polygons... actually just a cuboid. I even disabled the animation. Also if you could, could you take high quality pics? I remember you offering to help, it'll be great. Thanks! | ||

Cloud Kingdom has an easier to secure third base because: a) the base is closer b) can be defended from your main with siege tanks c) you can wall off the natural ramp to for them through your third d) it's not on the low ground The third reminds me of Korhal - as pretty as this map is, I would veto it. The thing is it isn't. I thought about the map when I made it - hence, look at the other side of the third. It is same low ground, not some high ground that you cannot approach. Also in korhal it was too good for terran, not zerg, so I don't get what you mean. | ||

Tsuycc// Thanks! I'm working on it. After testing, I realized that the map is a bit terran favored, not zerg favored as previously thought. Tanks and marines seem very strong. Therefore I'll make some changes to it! | ||

Those tanks is what makes it more interesting, no? But if it is already terran favored, than probably not.  | ||

I'm worried a lot about siege tanks though. Tell me what you think, thanks! Overview: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/sgxlu.jpg) Updated part close up: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zDuoo.png) | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/lljhm.jpg) I tuned in to the MotM, and realized that people were having a hard time distinguishing between pathable terrain and non-pathable terrain. So in this version I made clear which is which. Also, there are some aesthetic changes, and the islandy base's entrance is now smaller for better walling! Here are pics to show the update, and to add some pictures to the OP: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/I4iwz.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zxUJ0.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CVAsD.png) | ||
